The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is requesting proposals for fire alarm inspection services at two Colbert County locations under a Quick Quote solicitation, with responses due October 14, 2026. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys, located no farther than 10 miles from the specified sites (295 Highway 20 East, Tuscumbia, AL 35674 and 2803 S. Wilson Dam Road, Muscle Shoals, AL 35661), and complete a mandatory pre-bid walkthrough scheduled with Micah Witt at 256-436-2494.

The scope is fire alarm inspection services at the two identified locations. Prospective vendors must hold relevant professional licenses and manufacturer authorizations; the State reserves the right to request written proof of qualifications and certificates of insurance as part of cost realism and price reasonableness analysis.

The contract value does not exceed $25,000 and may be renewed annually by written agreement for a total term not to exceed five years. Responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys.

Vendors must comply with Alabama's E-Verify program if employing one or more employees within Alabama, with documentation required within five calendar days of notification. Suppliers must certify compliance with sales tax remittance requirements under Act No. 2006-557 and may not engage in boycotts of persons or entities based in jurisdictions with which Alabama maintains open trade. Price escalations are permitted only with written approval from both parties and cannot exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost or industry-specific price index increases during the same period. All disputes are governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery and must proceed through good faith negotiation and non-binding alternative dispute resolution before formal proceedings.
