6-Non-Negotiable Contract Terms 09-19-2024.pdf

This is a Non-Negotiable Contract Terms Acknowledgment document issued by Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) related to an Application Control and Endpoint Security Software Solution procurement in California. The document serves as a binding acknowledgment that bidders must execute and submit with their quotation or proposal. Bidders are required to accept all standard contract terms and conditions provided by IEHP in RFP Exhibit B without modification or negotiation. The document establishes that any exceptions, deviations, or comments regarding IEHP's standard contract terms must be submitted at the time of bid submission in accordance with the Bidder Acknowledgement Section of the RFP; failure to submit such exceptions at the time of bidding forecloses any right to negotiate these terms after contract award.

The authorized signatory executing this acknowledgment confirms under penalty of perjury that they have the authority to bind their company to the stated terms and conditions. This document does not address pricing, set-asides, incumbents, funding sources, or other financial terms; rather, it establishes a prerequisite contractual framework that all bidders must accept as a condition of proposal submission. By signing this acknowledgment, bidders acknowledge their understanding and acceptance of IEHP's non-negotiable standard terms, thereby streamlining the contracting process and establishing clear expectations prior to award.
