Idexx DFO

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is seeking quotes for Idexx diagnostic and laboratory equipment and supplies through a Quick Quote solicitation, with responses due September 11, 2026.

The scope covers analyzers, reagents, and ancillary supplies for veterinary and clinical laboratory operations. The request identifies specific item quantities and product specifications, though detailed line items are not enumerated in the available summary.

Resulting contracts may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties, up to a total contract cost of $25,000 or a total time period of five years from the effective date, whichever is reached first. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and does not indemnify suppliers.

Suppliers must register in the Alabama Buys procurement system and submit responses electronically through that platform. Supplier inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal to maintain a record of communications. Suppliers certify compliance with all solicitation terms upon submission and affirm they are not barred from bidding or in violation of collusion restrictions. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State, and suppliers employing workers in Alabama must provide E-Verify documentation and comply with the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act.

The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses. Price escalations not to exceed 5% of annual contract cost may be approved when justified by material, labor, or component cost increases supported by documentation. Contracts are governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery. The State retains the right to cancel contracts for convenience with practicable notice or to reject bids for non-compliance with tax certification requirements or other contract conditions.
