The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is requesting proposals for AvaTax Connector-API services under a Quick Quote mechanism, with responses due October 1, 2026. The quoted quantity is 150,000 units at $35,827.35.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the platform. All inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal to create a formal record.

The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement, up to a total contract cost of $25,000 including the original agreement and any renewals, or for a total time period of five years from the effective date, whichever applies first. Pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. Price escalation requests may be considered if material or labor costs increase significantly through no fault of the supplier, provided increases do not exceed 5% of the annual contract cost and are supported by manufacturer documentation or industry-specific price indices.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama state requirements, including E-Verify enrollment verification for those employing workers within the state, registration with the Alabama Secretary of State for foreign entities, and certification of compliance with sales tax registration requirements under Act No. 2006-557. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax pursuant to Section 40-23-4(a)(11) of the Code of Alabama 1975.
