Degree Verifications

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting degree verifications through a Quick Quote mechanism with responses due September 18, 2026.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically by the close date. All bidders must acknowledge receipt of the solicitation and any amendments, certify compliance with terms and conditions, and affirm no collusive bidding. For contracts exceeding $25,000, a Disclosure Statement is required with the proposal; for competitive bid awards, the disclosure statement may be deferred to the selected supplier and must be submitted within ten days of award. Suppliers employing one or more employees within Alabama must provide E-Verify enrollment documentation prior to award.

The contract resulting from this solicitation may be renewed annually by written agreement, with a total contract cost not to exceed $25,000 (including the original agreement and any subsequent renewals) or a total time period of five years from the effective date, whichever comes first. The State is exempt from paying sales tax. Suppliers must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT. All suppliers must certify compliance with Alabama State and local sales, use, and lease tax collection and remittance requirements under Section 41-4-142. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Price increases during contract performance are limited to 5 percent of the annual contract cost and require written approval from both parties.
