8-Exhibit 1 - RFP Deviations.doc

This document is an RFP Deviations Exhibit for Bernalillo County, New Mexico's Group Medical Insurance Services procurement. The exhibit requires all vendors submitting proposals to clearly identify and document any deviations from the specifications and terms outlined in the RFP for medical insurance benefits effective July 1, 2026. Vendors must specify which line of coverage each deviation applies to if quoting multiple lines of coverage, and may add additional pages as needed to fully document exceptions. An authorized officer of the vendor's organization must sign the certification page, and in the absence of identified deviations, the vendor will be bound by all RFP terms and conditions.

The exhibit serves as a compliance mechanism requiring vendors to explicitly acknowledge their adherence to or deviation from the County's medical insurance specifications and standards. This document is a standard component of the procurement process for claims administration services and establishes that vendors must provide written certification of proposal compliance, ensuring transparency regarding any exceptions to the stated requirements.
