FY27 - Pine Straw

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) is requesting quotes for the provision of 600 bales of long needle pine straw to be delivered in 100-bale increments on request during fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027), with quotes due September 18, 2026.

All deliveries are to the ADEM Main Office at 1400 Coliseum Boulevard, Montgomery, Alabama. Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform prior to the closing deadline.

The maximum contract value is $25,000, encompassing the initial agreement and any subsequent annual renewals extending up to five years from the effective date. Pricing is subject to state analysis for cost realism and price reasonableness at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. Price escalation requests are permissible only when material or labor costs significantly increase through no fault of the supplier, with increases capped at 5 percent of annual contract cost.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama tax certification requirements, E-Verify employment verification if applicable, and foreign corporation registration requirements. All contracts are governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery, Alabama. The state reserves the right to inspect all delivered products before acceptance and to cancel the contract for convenience with reasonable notice.
