The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting quick quotes for building material supplies through the Alabama Buys system, with responses due October 1, 2026.

Suppliers must register and submit responses electronically through the Alabama Buys Public Solicitation portal. Participation requires clicking "Participate in RFx" to indicate involvement. All supplier inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal to maintain a formal record.

The total contract cost does not exceed $25,000, including the original agreement and any subsequent renewals, with a maximum contract term of five years from the effective date. The resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties. Pricing analysis will be conducted by the State at its sole discretion based on cost realism and price reasonableness; the State retains the right to request price justification. Price escalation requests are limited to a maximum of 5 percent of the annual contract cost and require written approval from both parties.

Suppliers who employ one or more employees within Alabama must verify E-Verify program enrollment prior to award, with documentation submitted within five calendar days of notification. The State retains the right to conduct supplier qualification reviews after bid opening, which may include requests for manufacturer reseller authorization, professional licenses, and certificates of insurance.

The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will provide exemption documentation upon request. Vendors must accept multiple forms of electronic payment, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT transfers, at no additional cost to the State.
