ALEA Bid for Handheld Lidars

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is seeking bids for Stalker Lidar XLR handheld devices under ITB through the Alabamabuys portal, with bids due August 10, 2026. Bidders must be authorized manufacturer's representatives for Stalker Lidar and submit documentation to this effect — a single-source capability filter that restricts competition to entities holding active distribution or resale authorization from Applied Concepts Inc.

The scope is the Stalker Lidar XLR, a portable LIDAR system with compact dimensions (8.9 inches height, 4.7 inches length and width), 2.3-pound weight including battery, and high-impact resistant polymer housing. The device operates in Tracking, Single-Shot, and Time/Distance modes; acquires data in 0.33 seconds; functions across negative 22 to positive 140 degrees Fahrenheit; maintains 90 percent relative humidity protection; and runs approximately 2 to 3 shifts per charge on lithium-ion batteries rated for 500 or more charge cycles. The specification document is attached.

ALEA does not specify quantity; estimated usage shown in the bid portal does not commit the state to purchase volume. Award will be made on an "all or none" basis to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications. The initial contract term is 12 months with four optional 12-month renewals under the same terms, discounts, and conditions, provided written approval is submitted no later than 30 days prior to expiration of each term. Questions are due August 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time. Bids must include percentage discounts entered in the unit price section. Payment terms are 30 days in arrears following invoice receipt. E-Verify enrollment and completion of the State of Alabama Vendor Disclosure Statement are required for contract award. Contracts exceeding $25,000 trigger Vendor Disclosure Statement filing; foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State.
