FSMA Food Safety Penalty Software 266417

The State of Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries is seeking quotes for a Food Penalty Letter Generator Software designed to interface with the existing Alabama Food and Safety Hub Database, with an annual subscription component. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 67ebdc35ef4ea580b3026d38, is specifically targeting a technological solution for generating food safety penalty documentation. The software must seamlessly integrate with the department's current database infrastructure, enabling efficient processing and communication of food safety penalty information. The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2025, with proposals due by April 3, 2025, indicating a very tight response window of approximately three days. Potential vendors must carefully review the attached Quick Quote Standard Boilerplate document, which outlines comprehensive submission requirements, including necessary certifications, compliance with state procurement policies, and adherence to specific state regulations such as the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, though respondents must be registered with Alabama Buys and comply with state immigration verification requirements through the E-Verify program. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to develop a specialized software solution for food safety penalty documentation. Vendors must be prepared to provide manufacturer's authorization, relevant professional licenses, and appropriate insurance certificates. The document suggests that the state reserves the right to thoroughly analyze bid pricing and inspect delivered products, with potential for rejecting proposals that do not meet precise specifications. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the specialized nature of the software and the requirement for database integration suggests this could be a moderate to significant technology procurement for the state's agricultural regulatory infrastructure.
