The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting weekly paper recycling pickup services at 375 S Ripley Street in Montgomery, Alabama under a Quick Quote vehicle, with responses due September 22, 2026 and service commencing October 1, 2026.

The scope covers weekly pickup of up to 16 bins (90-gallon capacity) from the loading dock. Bins arrive pre-loaded and require on-site emptying and return to the facility. Pickup dates are scheduled by call. The contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with optional annual renewals by written agreement for a maximum total contract cost of $25,000 across all renewal periods or a maximum five-year term from the effective date.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that system. E-Verify compliance is required for suppliers employing workers in Alabama, and suppliers must certify compliance with Alabama sales tax collection laws. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify the supplier. Suppliers must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State.

Annual price increases are permitted up to 5% of the prior year's contract cost, provided the increase does not exceed industry-specific price index or Consumer Price Index increases during the same period. The State retains the right to cancel for convenience with as much notice as practicable. All contracts are governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery; disputes proceed through good faith negotiation, mediation, or the Board of Adjustment.
