EXHIBIT 12 - REQUEST TEMPLATE.xlsx

This file is a Request Template document designed as an administrative tool for managing contract modification requests within a procurement process. The template provides a structured format for documenting proposed exceptions or deviations from contract requirements, including fields for tracking request numbers, submission dates, descriptions of requested changes, and the rationale supporting each exception or deviation with corresponding advantages and disadvantages. The document includes reference columns to identify applicable contract documents such as Instructions, General Conditions, and Exhibit numbers, along with specific section or page citations for easy cross-referencing.

The template incorporates a status tracking system to monitor requests through various approval stages, including Draft, VCM (Vendor Change Management) review, Legal review, and Project Manager approval. Responsibility assignments are delineated across multiple parties including PM (Project Manager), Legal, DEOD (Diversity and Equal Opportunity), and Risk/Insurance departments, with an additional category for other considerations as noted in comments sections. This tool facilitates systematic management of contract modifications by establishing clear documentation requirements and approval workflows, ensuring that all proposed deviations are properly evaluated, justified, and authorized before implementation.
