BCL27 C2 - Peak Service Agreement - Chemistry

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is requesting quotes for a Peak Annual Service Agreement for Chemistry (BCL27 C2) with responses due September 17, 2026. This is a Quick Quote solicitation requiring electronic submission through Alabama Buys.

The contract carries a $25,000 not-to-exceed total cost and may be renewed annually by written agreement for up to five years from the effective date. All suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit inquiries through the Supplier Portal. Suppliers certify compliance with all terms and conditions, acknowledge receipt of the solicitation and any amendments, and affirm they have not engaged in collusion or been barred from bidding.

The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Price escalation requests may be considered during contract performance if justified by material or labor cost increases, provided increases do not exceed those reflected in industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index and do not surpass 5 percent of annual contract cost; all price increases require written approval from both parties. Vendors must accept multiple forms of electronic payment including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT transfers at no additional cost to the State.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama sales tax exemption provisions, E-Verify requirements if employing workers in Alabama, and state and local sales tax registration and remittance obligations. The contract is governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery, and may be canceled by the Chief Procurement Officer for convenience of the State or by the supplier if performance is prevented by acts of God, war, or legal authority. The State retains sovereign immunity and is prohibited from indemnifying suppliers.
