About this file
This is a Conformance Statements and Exceptions Request form for the Arizona Department of Administration State Procurement Office related to Solicitation No. BPM006852 for Lobbyist services for the Secretary of State. The solicitation seeks professional intergovernmental state legislative lobbying services to secure an "Authorized Public Lobbyist" as defined under A.R.S. 41-1231(2) for the 2026 Arizona State Legislative Session. The proposal due date was July 16, 2025, and the state's eProcurement system was utilized for submission. The solicitation document requires offerors to complete this conformance form in Excel format, with responses due by the stated deadline.
The conformance statement requires offerors to indicate compliance with three primary areas: Instructions to Offerors, Scope of Work and Specifications, and Contract Terms and Conditions (including Special Terms and Conditions, Addenda A and B, and Uniform Terms and Conditions). The form indicates that the submitting offeror marked "X" for conformance with the Scope of Work and Specifications and Contract Terms and Conditions, confirming full compliance with those sections. However, the offeror took an exception to the Instructions to Offerors Section 5.1 regarding amendments, proposing to offer case studies verbally upon request rather than in written form. The state will not consider any exceptions unless formally designated on this form, and offers with exceptions may be found not susceptible for award under Arizona Administrative Code R2-7-C311. All sections not marked with an "X" are interpreted by the state as full compliance with no exceptions.
