ESBD_497322_1773784832085_EXH_F.6_Vendor Exceptions Form.pdf

This is a Vendor Exceptions Form template approved by the OGC on April 14, 2022, for use in the IPC Open Enrollment contract opportunity in Texas. The form provides vendors with a structured mechanism to propose exceptions to the Department of Public Safety's (DPS) Standard Terms and Conditions. The document requires vendors to clearly list and explain any proposed exceptions in a table format with three designated columns: Section Number, Language (which must show deletions through strikethrough and additions through underline), and Reason for Requesting Exception to DPS's Standard Terms and Conditions. The form emphasizes strict compliance with the specified format, explicitly stating that vendors failing to follow the exact format requirements will be deemed as waiving their exceptions, and DPS will reject them accordingly.

The form itself contains no pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding details, as it functions solely as a procedural template for vendors to formally document any contractual modifications they wish to propose. The completion and submission of this form is a critical step in the vendor response process for the IPC Open Enrollment opportunity, as it provides the formal mechanism through which vendors can communicate their exceptions to the state's standard contracting terms prior to award consideration.
