BCL-G4-Laboratory Mice-Micro

The Alabama Department of Public Health Bureau of Clinical Laboratories is soliciting bids for female laboratory mice under a quick-quote procurement with proposals due October 1, 2026. The bureau reserves the right to decline award based on budget restrictions.

The scope is 10 female mice weighing 12–14 grams to be shipped bi-weekly from October 14, 2026, through September 30, 2027, to 204 Legends Court, Prattville, Alabama 36066. Shipping costs must be included in the bid. No alternates or substitutions are permitted. The supplier must be ready to ship within 10 business days of purchase order award; late delivery triggers purchase order cancellation, as timely receipt is critical to prevent disruption of laboratory testing activities.

The not-to-exceed contract cost is $25,000, including any renewals. The initial contract term runs through September 30, 2027, with an option to renew annually by written agreement for a maximum total contract duration of five years. Any price escalations during performance cannot exceed the percentage increase in industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index, capped at 5 percent of annual contract costs, and require written approval.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys, comply with E-Verify requirements if employing workers in Alabama, maintain Alabama sales tax registration, and cannot be debarred or suspended from state contracting. Pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the sole discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. The procurement is conducted through the Alabama Buys system under the State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer's Standard Terms and Conditions for Quick Quotes.
