Exhibit L, Exceptions Form.pdf

This is an Exceptions Form (Exhibit L) for RFQ No. HHS0017782 issued by the State of Texas for Federal Award Compliance Assessments (FACAs). The form is used by respondents to document any exceptions or deviations from the terms, conditions, or provisions stated in the solicitation. Respondents are only required to complete this exhibit if they intend to take exceptions to solicitation language; completion is optional if there are no exceptions. The form requires respondents to identify the specific solicitation document section number, state the solicitation language to which exception is taken, provide the basis for the exception, propose alternative language, and indicate whether they wish to remain under consideration for contract award if their exception is denied.

Exceptions documented on this form will not be considered part of any resulting contract unless expressly incorporated in writing by the System Agency. This mechanism allows respondents to propose modifications to solicitation requirements while maintaining their eligibility for award consideration, provided they accept the risk that their proposed exceptions may be rejected during evaluation and award.
