Common use of Rejection of Proposals Clause in Contracts

Rejection of Proposals. ‌ Proposals that do not conform in all material respects to the solicitation requirements, specifications, terms, and conditions shall be rejected as non-responsive. Respondents whose proposals, references, or current status do not reflect the capability, integrity, or reliability to fully and in good faith perform the requirements of a Contract may be deemed not responsible and the Proposal rejected as non-responsive. Proposals which include a condition or exception that are not consistent with the primary goals of the solicitation may result in the Proposal being found not in conformance in all material respects of the solicitation and be rejected as non-responsive. Alternatively, and in the Department’s sole discretion, the Department may disregard or reject any condition or exception included in a proposal. The Department reserves the right to determine which proposals meet the requirements of this solicitation, and which Respondents are responsive and responsible.
