For the purposes of specific experience under Sub-Clause 4.2(a), the minimum requirements for combined contracts shall be the aggregate of the requirements specified for each contract (lot)

The contract price at contract signing date shall be updated to present value using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index (PPI): Final Demand (Series ID: WPUFD4),
based on the index value applicable 14 days prior to the bid submission deadline.
For contracts denominated in other currencies:
• The contract price shall first be converted into United States Dollars (USD) using the exchange rate applicable on the contract signing date.
• The amount converted into USD shall then be updated to present value using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index (PPI): Final Demand (Series ID: WPUFD4), based
on the index value applicable 14 days prior to the bid submission deadline.
The official source of the (exchange) rate is selling rate published on the website of the Central Bank Republic of Turkiye (http://www.tcmb.gov.tr). Any error in determining the exchange rates
