FY27 Thomson Reuter Westlaw Renewal

The Alabama Medicaid Agency is soliciting bids for sole-source renewal of Thomson Reuters Westlaw Library and electronic legal research products under a Quick Quote solicitation with bids due September 25, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement.

The contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with provisions for annual renewals by written agreement up to a total contract cost of $25,000 or a maximum five-year period from the effective date. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform prior to close.

All bids must include a Disclosure Statement if the contract exceeds $25,000. Suppliers must certify compliance with Alabama sales and use tax regulations, the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, and verify enrollment in the E-Verify program if employing workers in Alabama. The State reserves the right to analyze cost realism and price reasonableness and may request price justification. Price escalations during contract performance are permitted up to 5 percent of annual contract cost if justified by industry-specific price indices or Consumer Price Index data. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify suppliers. Contracts may be canceled for convenience by the Chief Procurement Officer with reasonable notice, or by the supplier if performance is prevented by acts of God or other unavoidable circumstances.
