I'm curious about the process of taking exception to terms & conditions in a competitive solicitation. I'm always hesitant to take exception to items for fear that our proposal would be deemed nonresponsive. However, I'm not 100% sure on which items other than not meeting the technical criteria, delivery schedule or something like debarment would automatically eliminate a company from competition. Typically things like unlimited rights in technical data are something to which I'd like to take exception. Would this get my proposal automatically thrown out, should I just bring it up during question/answer period and hope it's eventually eliminated, or try to negotiate after award?
