RFP No. 26-048 Attachment I1 - Exceptions Form.xlsx

This is an Exceptions Form (Attachment I1) for RFP No. 26-048 issued by the State of North Carolina for Network Infrastructure & Internet Services Provider services. The form is a template designed to allow offerors to document and justify any exceptions or deviations from the solicitation requirements. The document provides a structured framework with 25 numbered rows for offerors to identify specific sections and subsections of the RFP, insert the original RFP language, propose alternate language, and provide rationale for each exception requested. The form requires offerors to identify the solicitation part and section number for each proposed deviation, creating a transparent record of how each bidder intends to deviate from the stated requirements.

The document contains no pricing information, set-aside provisions, incumbent details, funding sources, or contract term specifications, as this is a procedural template rather than a substantive scope of work or project description. Offerors utilizing this form must clearly articulate their proposed alternatives and business justifications for each exception, which will be evaluated by the procuring agency during the bid review process. The form's structure ensures that all proposed exceptions are documented in a consistent format, facilitating systematic review and comparison across multiple submissions.
