Lab/Scientific Supplies FY27-FO-Mobile

The State of Alabama is soliciting quotes for laboratory and scientific supplies for fiscal year 2027 under a Quick Quote vehicle through the Alabama Buys system, with quotes due September 22, 2026.

This is a Quick Quote procurement governed by the State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer standard terms. The resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement, up to a total contract cost not to exceed $25,000 or a total time period of five years from the effective date, whichever limit is reached first. Pricing may be escalated up to 5 percent annually if documented material or labor cost increases are approved in writing.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the Public Solicitation site. All supplier inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State; suppliers with Alabama employees must enroll in E-Verify. Suppliers certify compliance with all solicitation terms, non-participation in bid-rigging or collusion, and acknowledge that false certifications may result in contract voidification. The state reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses, request qualifications documentation, and inspect all products before acceptance.

Vendors must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the state, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT transfers. The contract is governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery, Alabama; the state retains sovereign immunity and prohibits indemnification of suppliers.

Award will be made to the responsive and responsible vendor offering best value to the state. Pricing should be itemized with unit costs and total amounts for each line item. The procurement may include set-asides for small businesses or minority-owned enterprises in accordance with Alabama procurement regulations.
