I have a contract with the State of Texas to supply instrumentation. Two companies combined, and the discount structure changed. When I signed the contract, I submitted our cost to the state and showed our markup, so that if something like this happened, we could put the increase in the contract.

I submitted the new pricing, and they said I was only able to raise prices at the inflation rate. So explained what happened. They asked for me to submit the information about the changes. I did. Yesterday they said they were removing most of those items from the contract.

I reallly don't care, since this was supposed to be a $300K/yr contract and it has been more like $15-20K.

Oh, and what this really means is they are going to go out for bid on these items, and I expect I'll get them back, with my new pricing.
