Suppliers employing workers in Alabama must be enrolled in E-Verify with documentation submitted within five calendar days of notification. Foreign corporations must register with the Alabama Secretary of State prior to transacting business in the state.

The total contract cost ceiling is $25,000 over the one-year initial term, with provision for annual renewal by written agreement up to a maximum five-year period from the effective date. Price escalation requests are permitted if material, labor, or other costs increase significantly, provided increases do not exceed relevant industry price indices or CPI and do not exceed 5 percent of annual contract costs. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses on all bids.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama state law and the Department of Finance Administrative Code. Contracts exceeding $25,000 trigger disclosure statement requirements.
