The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting quick quotes for termite bond services, with quotes due October 9, 2026.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit quotes electronically through the Public Solicitation site. By submitting a quote, suppliers affirm compliance with all terms and conditions, acknowledge receipt of the solicitation and amendments, certify they have not engaged in bid collusion, and confirm they are not barred from contracting with the state. Suppliers employing one or more employees within Alabama must verify E-Verify enrollment prior to award, with documentation required within five calendar days of notification. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State before transacting business. All suppliers must certify compliance with Alabama sales and use tax requirements and the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act regarding immigration law compliance.

Any resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement, up to a total contract cost of $25,000 or a maximum time period of five years from the effective date. The state maintains sales tax exemption and does not indemnify suppliers. The contract is governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery, Alabama.

The state reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Price escalation requests may be considered during contract performance if material, labor, or other costs significantly increase through no fault of the supplier, provided increases do not exceed those reflected in industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index, and do not exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost. The state reserves the right to request written proof of qualifications, licenses, certifications, and insurance after bid opening.
