APRL Lab Supplies

The Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries is soliciting quick quotes for laboratory supplies specific to the Alabama Pesticide Residue Lab located at 1171 Wire Road in Auburn. The procurement focuses on procuring specialized scientific materials, specifically Envir-Clean 500mg PSA and Quenchers C18 tubes, with precise catalog numbers and specified quantities. Vendors must meet stringent qualification requirements, including possessing an established quality assurance program with ISO accreditation for medical and scientific product distribution. All participating suppliers are required to submit a letter confirming their status as a third-party distributor and must bid on all line items. The solicitation mandates that vendors warranty products and replace or refund items that do not perform satisfactorily, with the quote submission deadline set for May 5, 2025. Shipping for the entire order will be to the Auburn laboratory location, and suppliers must complete comprehensive pricing details for each catalog item.

The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the opportunity requires strict compliance with Alabama's procurement regulations, including participation in the Alabama Buys system and adherence to state-specific legal provisions outlined in the attached Standard Terms and Conditions document. Vendors must comply with the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, participate in the E-Verify program, and meet tax and immigration law requirements. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the solicitation involves scientific laboratory supplies with an implied modest procurement value. The state reserves rights to inspect products, conduct price reasonableness analyses, and potentially cancel contracts under specific circumstances, providing extensive protective measures for the government's procurement interests.
