G12-603736/Thermocouple

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, on behalf of Mobile County and Mobile City, is issuing a Quick Quote solicitation (G12-603736) for the procurement of two Cole-Palmer Fluke 80PK-1 Suregrip Beaded Type-K Thermocouple Probes (Item #50-993-320) with no substitutions permitted. The solicitation was posted on March 16, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 19, 2026. All deliverables must be shipped to 3704 Fairground Road, Montgomery, Alabama 36110. Vendors must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and submit their responses electronically through that platform by the solicitation close date and time. Required qualifications include vendor tax-exempt status, registration with the Alabama Secretary of State for foreign entities, and E-Verify program enrollment verification prior to award if the vendor employs workers in Alabama. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses on all bids and may request written proof of qualifications such as manufacturer authorization and certificates of insurance.

The solicitation does not specify any particular set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or other specific organization types beyond the standard compliance requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available documentation. Vendors must comply with state sales tax registration and remittance requirements and must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT. The State of Alabama is exempt from paying sales tax, and vendors are required to provide tax exemption documentation upon request. While no specific award value or budget range is provided in the solicitation documents, bids exceeding $25,000 will require completion of a Disclosure Statement. For bids under this threshold, the budget appears to reflect the cost of two specialized thermocouple probes plus shipping to the specified Montgomery location.
