Acceptance Review Process. The Department will conduct its Acceptance review in a manner so as to identify whether the Deliverable materially fails to conform to the requirements of the Contract. If, after inspection, the Department reasonably determines that the Deliverable materially fails to conform to the requirements of the Contract (a “Nonconformity”), the Department shall notify the Service Provider in writing within ten (10) business days of the Department’s receipt of the Deliverable, of any such Nonconformity, specifying in detail any and all basis for the Nonconformity unless the Department has exercised its option to use some or all of the pool of days set forth above to acknowledge Acceptance or rejection of a Deliverable in which case the period to notify Service Provider of any Nonconformity shall be before the expiration of the elected time extension. The Service Provider shall correct such Nonconformity within thirty (30) business days after notice, or proceed on another mutually acceptable basis as set forth in writing. The Department shall then have an additional ten (10) business days commencing upon Service Provider’s redelivery of the Deliverable to verify that the previously reported Nonconformity has been corrected and to report any Nonconformity caused by the correction of the previous Nonconformity. The Department will act reasonably in determining if any Deliverable should be Accepted and if any Nonconformity has been corrected. End of Page Section FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
