ADEM FY27 Westlaw PP-Thomson Reuters- West - Thomson Reuter.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management is requesting a quote for Westlaw sole-source internet and library services from Thomson Reuters under a Quick Quote solicitation, with responses due October 1, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement with no competition anticipated.

The scope is continued access to Westlaw legal research and library services via internet. No alternative vendors or competitive evaluation is described; the solicitation is premised on Thomson Reuters as the sole qualified source.

The contract ceiling is $25,000, covering the original agreement and any renewals combined, with a maximum performance period of five years from the effective date, whichever limit is reached first. Pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness review at the discretion of the State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer. Price escalation requests may be considered during performance if material, labor, or other component costs increase materially, provided proposed increases do not exceed corresponding industry-specific or Consumer Price Index increases in the same period and do not exceed 5% of annual contract cost.

Respondents must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform by the close date. Suppliers must comply with E-Verify enrollment verification if employing Alabama-based workers, debarment and suspension certification, sales tax registration and compliance certification, and foreign corporation registration with the Alabama Secretary of State if applicable. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax. The resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties.
