PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO SAMPLE MASTER AGREEMENT

The Lead State may, but is not obligated to, consider proposed modifications to Attachment D, Sample Master Agreement.

Provisions of the Sample Master Agreement that are generally inapplicable to, incompatible with, or unsuitable for the subject of this RFP should be brought to the attention of the Lead State using the process described in this RFP for asking questions and will be addressed only at the sole discretion of the Lead State.

Offeror-specific modifications to the Sample Master Agreement may be proposed as part of Offeror’s proposal in this attachment but are strongly discouraged. The quantity, breadth, and nature of modifications proposed by Offeror may be considered in the Lead State’s evaluation of Offeror’s proposal and of its risks, costs, and benefits to the Lead State and potential Participating Entities and Purchasing Entities. Proposing excessive or overly restrictive modifications, or proposing modifications upon which Offeror’s proposal is conditioned, may result in Offeror’s proposal being deemed non-responsive.
