About this file
This is a solicitation guidance document related to a Quick Quotes procurement for Lab Supplies (342012) issued by the State of Alabama. The document addresses the submission requirements for supplier responses, specifically clarifying that the standard requirement to provide a "Supplier Part Number" has been removed from general Quick Quotes submissions. However, the document indicates that agencies may still require part numbers for certain Quick Quotes and provides the specific language that must be included in the solicitation terms and conditions when this information is necessary. When required, suppliers must provide complete model and part numbers along with descriptive and technical literature for each item being quoted. The document specifies that references to literature from previous solicitations do not satisfy this requirement, and failure to provide the required documentation may result in rejection of the supplier's response.
The guidance establishes that brand and model numbers referenced in the solicitation are intended to indicate quality standards and are not restrictive unless otherwise specified. Suppliers may quote alternate items provided they submit complete technical specifications and descriptive literature for evaluation alongside their quotes. This requirement ensures that Alabama agencies have sufficient information to properly evaluate and compare alternate products against specified items, maintaining procurement standards while allowing supplier flexibility in product selection.

Supplier Part Number Requirement on Quick Quotes:
The standard solicitation submission requirement to provide a “Supplier Part Number” has been removed. This information may still be necessary for certain Quick Quotes. If required, agencies shall include the following term and condition to clearly indicate to suppliers that part number(s) for each item are necessary.
Model/Part Number and Descriptive literature:
The brands and model numbers referenced provide a level of quality, and unless otherwise specified, are not restrictive. Suppliers quoting alternate items must provide a complete model/part number as well as descriptive/technical literature for consideration and evaluation with their quote. Reference to literature with a previous solicitation will not satisfy this requirement. Failure to provide the required literature may result in the rejection of the supplier’s response.
