Exceptions Form RFB.docx

This is an Exceptions Form for a Request for Bid (RFB) issued by the State of Iowa for Food Items for the CDC Warehouse in Woodward, Iowa. The form provides vendors with a structured template to document any exceptions or deviations they wish to take from the RFB requirements. The form includes numbered rows for vendors to list each exception, requiring them to specify the relevant section, document, and/or question number along with the reason for the exception. Vendors are instructed to make additional pages as necessary to accommodate all exceptions and must submit the completed Exceptions Form through the Vendor Attachments Section on the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System website, with each exception also submitted as a question in the Question and Answer Section. The bid deadline for this food procurement solicitation is September 28, 2023, and vendor registration on the IMPACS website is required to submit bids.

The Exceptions Form itself does not contain specific pricing information, set-aside designations, incumbent vendor details, or funding sources. These details would be contained within the main RFB documentation and solicitation materials available on the IMPACS Electronic Procurement System website. Vendors responding to this solicitation should carefully review all RFB requirements and use this form only to formally document legitimate exceptions that require approval before submission.
