189477-NEC Test Environment

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is requesting quotes for a NEC Test Environment to support development and acceptance testing of the ABIS to DCI CCH system, with quotes due October 6, 2026.

The solicitation is issued under Alabama Buys Quick Quotes, which carries a $25,000 not-to-exceed total contract cost and a maximum five-year term with annual renewal by written agreement. Respondents must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the system. All questions and inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal.

The State of Alabama reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis. Price escalation requests may be considered if material, labor, or other contract costs increase significantly through no fault of the supplier, provided increases do not exceed the applicable industry-specific price index or Consumer Price Index growth during the same period and cannot exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost. Any price increase requires written approval from both parties and must stay within the $25,000 not-to-exceed cap.

Compliance requirements include E-Verify enrollment verification for suppliers employing workers in Alabama, sales tax exemption documentation, certification of compliance with Alabama sales tax collection and remittance requirements, foreign corporation registration where applicable, debarment and suspension certifications, and disclosure statements. By submitting a quote, suppliers affirm receipt of the solicitation and all amendments, agreement to furnish items or services at quoted prices, compliance with all terms and conditions, and certification that they have not engaged in collusion. Dispute resolution occurs in Montgomery, Alabama.
