9-Exhibit 1 - RFP Deviations.doc

This is an RFP Deviations form for Bernalillo County, New Mexico's Group Medical Insurance Services procurement. The document serves as a standardized template requiring all vendors submitting proposals to clearly identify and document any deviations from the specifications and standards outlined in the RFP for medical benefits with an effective date of July 1, 2026. Vendors quoting multiple lines of coverage must explicitly designate which deviations apply to each line. The form provides numbered line items for vendors to list exceptions, with provisions for vendors to add additional pages as needed. An authorized officer from each vendor's organization must sign the document to certify that the proposal complies with the RFP contents, except where deviations are noted.

The RFP Deviations form requires all vendors to acknowledge that in the absence of any identified deviations, their organization will be bound to all terms and conditions outlined in the RFP. This standardized exhibit ensures transparency in the competitive procurement process and allows Bernalillo County's Purchasing Section to readily identify and evaluate any proposed variations from the baseline specifications during their review of claims administration services proposals.
