Plumbing Service Region 5

The State of Alabama is seeking a plumbing service contract for Region 5, with an Invitation to Bid (ITB) posted on April 9, 2025, and a response deadline of May 1, 2025. The procurement appears to be for comprehensive plumbing services for military facilities, with a proposed 12-month contract that includes options for four additional 12-month extensions, contingent upon mutual written agreement. Bidders must submit pricing through the Alabamabuys supplier portal, with specific requirements for unit pricing and markup percentages. Contractors will be responsible for providing high-quality plumbing materials and labor that comply with local codes and professional standards, with award to be made on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications. Key qualifications include maintaining liability insurance and Workman's Compensation Insurance, with potential price adjustments considered for significant material or labor cost increases, subject to written approval and not exceeding industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises based on the available documentation. Contractors will be required to participate in the E-Verify program and comply with Alabama's administrative codes and state-specific regulations. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated in the provided documents, the contract appears to be structured to accommodate flexible pricing and service needs across military facilities in Region 5. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with multiple state requirements, including tax registration and immigration law adherence. The State of Alabama will process invoices on a 30-day arrears basis, and contractors must be prepared to integrate with existing facility infrastructure and meet stringent quality and regulatory standards. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate comprehensive technical capability, financial stability, and a thorough understanding of military facility plumbing service requirements.
