What this means for your clause
Used in hospital and institutional procurement contracts for durable medical equipment and disposable supplies. It covers everything from surgical instruments to bandages in one figure, so a large capital equipment purchase, an imaging machine for instance, is better priced against its own line item than escalated off this blended industry index.
Draft a clause
A starting point citing this series by name and code. Replace the bracketed terms with your contract's actual scope before use.
The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Medical Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing (BLS series PCU3391--3391--), published by BLS. Base Period: the index value published for August 2026 (or the month of contract signing, if different) is the Base Value. Adjustment: at each Adjustment Date, the Current Value is the most recently published three-month average of the index (the Averaging Window). The Escalation Factor equals Current Value divided by Base Value. Cap: the Escalation Factor applied under this clause shall not exceed 1.10 or fall below 0.90 (a 10% cap and floor) in any single Adjustment Date, regardless of the index's actual movement. [Replace bracketed terms with your contract's actual affected-portion definition and adjustment-date schedule before use. This is a drafting starting point, not legal advice.]
