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 — Sanitary Tissue Paper Products, Made in Paper Mills (BLS series WPU091501233), 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.]
A paper or pulp PPI escalation clause compares a current-period Producer Price Index value for the relevant pulp or paper series to the value at contract signing (the base period), turns that into a ratio, then applies the ratio to the contract price or affected line items. BLS publishes separate series for upstream wood pulp and downstream paper, so which one applies depends on which stage of the supply chain the contract actually buys.
