AL/Poultry Lab Supplies 305555

The State of Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries is seeking quotes for poultry laboratory supplies through a competitive procurement process targeting the Animal Industries Laboratory located in Montgomery. The specific solicitation (Catalog number NC1525209) focuses on procuring Solar Biologicals Drag Swabs, with each package containing a 30 mL polypropylene vial, a sterile 4-ply 3"x3" cotton gauze swab pre-moistened with double strength skim milk, an approximately six-foot cord, plastic gloves, and a sterile sample bag. The procurement is specifically for Mobile County and will require delivery to the Richard Beard Building at 1445 Federal Highway in Montgomery, Alabama. The solicitation was posted on September 30, 2025, with a strict proposal submission deadline of October 3, 2025. Vendors must provide unit pricing and total pricing for the requested laboratory supplies, with freight charges to be determined and added to the overall proposal. The department appears to be seeking responsive vendors capable of providing high-quality scientific sampling equipment for agricultural testing purposes.

While no specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents, the specialized nature of the drag swabs suggests that vendors must have specific scientific and medical supply manufacturing capabilities. The procurement appears to be a standard state contract opportunity open to qualified vendors with appropriate laboratory supply production credentials. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the procurement does not indicate any specific technology integration requirements. The total procurement value is not clearly stated, but appears to be for a single unit or small quantity of specialized scientific sampling equipment. Potential vendors should carefully review the technical specifications and ensure their proposed drag swabs meet the precise requirements for the Animal Industries Laboratory's scientific testing protocols. Interested suppliers must submit complete pricing information and comply with all specified delivery and packaging requirements to be considered for the contract.
