Exhibit E, Exceptions Form.docx

This is an Exceptions Form for RFQ No. HHS0016852 issued by a state health and human services agency. The form is provided to respondents who wish to submit exceptions to the solicitation terms, conditions, or provisions. Completion of the Exhibit E Exceptions Form is optional and only required if a respondent identifies specific exceptions to the solicitation requirements, as referenced in Section 3.5.4 of the RFQ.

The form establishes the structure for respondents to formally document any exceptions they propose. Respondents must identify the specific solicitation document section number, the exact solicitation language to which they are taking exception, the basis for their exception, and their proposed alternative language. Additionally, respondents must indicate whether they still wish to be considered for contract award if their proposed exception is denied. The solicitation explicitly states that no exception or any term, condition, or provision in a solicitation response that differs from or contradicts the solicitation will be considered part of any resulting contract unless expressly made part of the contract in writing by the System Agency.
