Price and Rate Guarantee Period. All pricing must be guaranteed for the first year of the Master Agreement. Following the guarantee period, any request for price increases must be for an equal guarantee period (1 year), and must be submitted to the Lead State at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date. The Lead State will review a documented request for an MSRP price list increase only after the Price Guarantee Period. Requests for price increases must include sufficient documentation supporting the request and demonstrating a reasonableness of the adjustment when comparing the current price list to the proposed price list. Documentation may include: the manufacturers national price increase announcement letter, a complete and detailed description of what products are increasing and by what percentage, a complete and detailed description of what raw materials and/or other costs have increased and provide proof of increase, index data and other information to support and justify the increase. The price increase must not produce a higher profit margin than the original contract, and must be accompanied by sufficient documentation and nationwide notice of price adjustment to the published commercial price list. No retroactive price increases will be allowed. Price Reductions. In the event of a price decrease in any category of product at any time during the contract in an OEM’s published commercial price list, including renewal options, the Lead State shall be notified immediately. All published commercial price list price reductions shall be effective upon the notification provided to the Lead State.
