Dept. Of Agriculture - Boaz Lab - Dump Trailer

The Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries is seeking competitive quotes for a specific dump trailer procurement for the Mitchem Sparks Regional Diagnostic Laboratory located in Boaz, AL. The solicitation requires one (1) Circle W 5x10 Tandem 3.5K Axle Dump Trailer with specific features including a scissor hoist, tarp kit, 7K jack, and double rear door. A critical qualification for potential suppliers is geographic proximity, mandating that the awarded vendor must be located within fifty (50) miles of 1445 Federal Drive in Montgomery, Alabama. The procurement timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on November 17, 2025, with proposals due by November 26, 2025. Interested suppliers can obtain bid assistance through the Alabama Buys helpdesk at (334) 353-0700, and the primary point of contact for this procurement is Gary Lovelady, who can be reached at (334) 240-7149.

The contract opportunity spans multiple jurisdictions including Etowah County and Birmingham City, though no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly stated in the solicitation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration with the new dump trailer. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement appears to be a straightforward equipment acquisition with relatively standard specifications. The geographical restriction of within fifty miles of Montgomery suggests a localized procurement strategy designed to facilitate convenient equipment pickup by the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical specifications and ensure their ability to meet the geographic proximity requirement before submitting a proposal.
