6 | Compliance Guidelines and Definitions
6.1 Omissions
Any omissions of detail specifications/requirements stated herein that would render the
material/service from use as specified will not relieve the respondent from responsibility.
6.2 Terms Used
a) Whenever the terms shall, must or will are used in the solicitation, the
specification/requirement being referred to will be mandatory. Failure to meet any
mandatory requirement can cause rejection of the response.
b) Whenever the terms can, may, should or might are used in the solicitation, the
specification/requirement being referred to is desirable. Failure to provide any items so
termed may not be cause for rejection; however, may cause a reduction in evaluation
scoring if applicable.
6.3 Compliance Requirements
a) Comply – respondent’s solution complies explicitly with the specifications/requirements
as written. Respondent signature or initials where indicated on applicable forms indicates
so.
b) Comply with exception – respondent’s solution complies with some or part of the
specifications/requirements.
1) Respondent must mark those requirements listed as exceptions by indicating such
on any accompanying forms or documents.
2) Whenever the respondent can comply with exception, respondent must attach a
description of how/why an exception is proposed. Description must be labeled as
an attachment under guidelines herein.
3) Failure to notate exception, or include an explanation as defined in point two (2)

respondent can comply in full as notated.
2) The attachment shall only be used as an explanation. It may not be used to provide
an alternate solution nor will it affect scoring. Failure to include any attachment
when respondent complies with exception will lead to the
specification/requirement being scored a non-response.
