Conservation/Parks/DeSoto - FY27 RENEWAL of Lock System

The State of Alabama is seeking a quote to renew phone support services for a Ving Card Lock System at DeSoto State Park (1299 Blalock Drive NE, Fort Payne, Alabama 35967) under an all-or-none, sole-source renewal, with quotes due October 21, 2026.

This is a sole-source renewal with no competitive procurement; the incumbent vendor is the sole qualified provider for the existing Ving Card Lock System. Quotes must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys and the Public Solicitation site. All inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal.

The contract term runs October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with an annual cost cap of $25,000. The contract is subject to renewal for a maximum total contract cost of $25,000 or five years from the effective date, whichever occurs first. Price escalation requests cannot exceed five percent of the annual contract cost or industry-specific price index increases.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys, comply with Alabama's E-Verify enrollment requirements (with documentation due within five calendar days of award notification), and certify debarment and suspension status. Foreign corporations must register with the Alabama Secretary of State before conducting business in the state. The State retains the right to conduct price reasonableness and cost realism analysis.

The solicitation is governed by Alabama's Standard Terms and Conditions for Quick Quotes, with Alabama law and Montgomery venue controlling. By submitting a quote, suppliers affirm receipt of all amendments, agree to furnish services at quoted prices, and certify compliance with collusive-bidding prohibitions.
