AVL - FY2027 Ethnic NewsWatch Subscription

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting responses for an FY2027 Ethnic NewsWatch subscription through a Quick Quote process on the Alabama Buys platform, with responses due September 9, 2026.

Responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys by the closing date and time. Suppliers must register in the system prior to submission. The contract term may extend up to five years from the effective date with annual renewal options available by written agreement, provided the total contract cost does not exceed $25,000 including the original agreement and any subsequent renewals.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama sales tax exemption provisions, accept multiple forms of electronic payment — state-issued credit cards and EFT transfers — at no additional cost, and register with the Alabama Secretary of State if operating as a foreign corporation. Suppliers employing workers in Alabama must enroll in E-Verify. For contracts exceeding $25,000, suppliers must submit a disclosure statement and certification of Alabama sales tax registration. The State reserves the right to inspect all delivered products before acceptance and may cancel contracts for convenience with reasonable notice. The State will not indemnify suppliers and retains sovereign immunity rights. Price escalation analysis and cost realism evaluation may be conducted at the State's discretion. Payment inquiries are directed to the receiving agency, and late payment penalties are governed by Code of Alabama Section 41-16-3.
