Sometimes used in older fertilizer supply contracts drafted before the more granular phosphate fertilizer materials series existed, since this one has a longer continuous history back to 1982. A new contract drafted today should generally prefer the more granular series unless a long historical baseline is the deciding factor.

The [affected portion] of the Contract Price shall be adjusted using US PPI — Phosphates (BLS series WPU065202), 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.]
