2-04 Exceptions Form.pdf

This is an Exceptions to Competitive Solicitation Form issued by Gallup-McKinley County Schools in New Mexico for a College & Career/Career Technical Education (CTE) Curriculum and Supplies procurement. The form serves as the required documentation for bidders to formally declare whether their proposed bid meets or does not meet the district's specifications. Bidders must indicate compliance status by selecting either "I DO meet specifications" or "I DO NOT meet specifications as listed in this bid" and are required to document any exceptions by noting the item number and corresponding exception in the spaces provided on the form. The district emphasizes that failure to properly disclose exceptions to specifications may result in bid disregard regardless of other merits.

The form underscores the district's commitment to fair and sound business practices by placing responsibility on bidders to accurately represent their ability to fulfill all requirements. Bidders are explicitly cautioned that Gallup-McKinley County Schools will not independently investigate whether proposed items meet specifications and that any non-conforming bids without properly documented exceptions will be rejected. This document is a mandatory compliance requirement for all bidders responding to the College & Career/CTE Curriculum and Supplies solicitation.
