There is a specific course of action that must be taken in order to navigate the GSA’s Terms and Conditions, and properly hedge your prices according to any fluctuation in a Market Indicator (such as your national currency, oil, metals, etc.).
you can submit an offer with the stipulation that your prices can be adjusted according to a Market Indicator.

The contract modification reflecting the price adjustment will be effective upon approval by the Contracting Officer, subject to paragraph (g), below. The adjusted prices shall apply to orders issued to the Contractor on or after the effective date of the contract modification.
