FAR 17.109
(a) The contracting officer shall insert the clause at 52.217-2 , Cancellation Under Multi-year Contracts, in solicitations and contracts when a multi-year contract is contemplated. (b) Economic price adjustment clauses . Economic price adjustment clauses are adaptable to multi-year contracting needs.

When contracting for services, the contracting officer- (1) Shall add the clause at 52.222-43 , Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards- Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts), when the contract includes the clause at 52.222-41 , Service Contract Labor Standards; (2) May modify the clause at 52.222-43 in overseas contracts when laws, regulations, or international agreements require contractors to pay higher wage rates; or (3) May use an economic price adjustment clause authorized by Fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment (FAR 16.203) , when potential fluctuations require coverage and are not included in cost contingencies provided for by the clause at 52.222-43 .
