Exceptions Form RFB.docx

The document is an Exceptions Form for a Request for Bid (RFB) related to Iowa DAS Fleet Services' procurement of Jeep Sport Utility Vehicles. The form provides a structured template for vendors to list and document any exceptions they may have to the bid requirements, with space for up to 10 separate exceptions. Vendors are instructed to specify the section, prerequisite, document or question number, and reason for each exception, and are required to upload the completed Exceptions Form to the Vendor Attachments Section and submit each exception as a separate question in the Question and Answer Section.

The associated state and local contract opportunity involves Iowa seeking bids from dealerships to establish a fixed percentage rate above the Triple Net Invoice, which includes government incentives, for Jeep Sport Utility Vehicles. The procurement is being conducted by Iowa's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Fleet Services, with the goal of identifying a vendor who can provide Jeep SUVs at a competitive, transparently calculated pricing structure that incorporates both the base invoice and available government incentives.
