FY27 Quest Diagnostics Clinical Labs

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting bids for a sole-source daily member-based data feed from Quest Diagnostics in HL7 format via secure FTP, with bids due September 25, 2026.

This is a quick quote procurement under Alabama Buys. Suppliers must register in the platform and submit responses electronically by the close deadline. All inquiries go through the Supplier Portal. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement up to a total cost of $25,000 (including the original agreement and renewals combined) or five years from the effective date, whichever is reached first.

Supplier compliance requirements include E-Verify enrollment verification for workers in Alabama, debarment and suspension certification, and sales tax registration certification. Contracts exceeding $25,000 trigger disclosure statements due within ten days of award. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify suppliers.

The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses on all bids. Price increases up to 5 percent of annual contract cost may be approved if justified by documented increases in materials or labor aligned with industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index. Vendors must accept electronic payment at no additional cost to the State, and invoices must be directed to the receiving agency for payment inquiries.

All disputes are resolved through good faith negotiation or alternative dispute resolution in Montgomery, Alabama.
