195337 DL - AAMVA Renewal

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting proposals through Quick Quote for Commercial Driver License background-check and information services, with responses due October 6, 2026, and a service term of October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The scope requires the awardee to conduct background checks on Commercial Driver License applicants and holders across all 50 states and maintain system access to the national Driver Register and the Commercial Driver License Information System. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform.

The maximum cumulative contract value across the original award and any renewals is $25,000 over a five-year period from the effective date, with annual renewals by written agreement of both parties. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis and may approve price escalation requests not exceeding five percent of annual contract costs.

Suppliers must satisfy multiple compliance requirements: registration with the Alabama Secretary of State for foreign entities, E-Verify enrollment verification if employing workers in Alabama, compliance with Alabama sales tax registration and collection requirements, and affirmation of non-participation in boycotts of open trade jurisdictions. Suppliers must acknowledge all amendments and agree to furnish services at quoted prices while complying with all terms and conditions. Payment must be accepted in multiple electronic forms at no additional cost to the State. All disputes are governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery. The State retains the right to cancel contracts for convenience with as much notice as practicable and retains sovereign immunity while prohibiting supplier indemnification.
