Replacement Tags MGADM

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences is soliciting bids for replacement tags through a Quick Quote procurement process. The procurement covers two distinct deliverables: Item #1 consists of two replacement tags for Standard Locker Keys numbered 1-30, and Item #2 consists of one replacement tag for Standard Locker Keys numbered 1-20 (blank). All items must be delivered to 525 Carter Hill Road, Montgomery, Alabama 36106. The solicitation was posted on April 3, 2026, with a due date of April 21, 2026, providing suppliers with approximately 18 days to submit their bid responses. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and participate electronically through that platform. The evaluation criteria include cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer, with particular emphasis on the agency's requirement to remain within budget when processing awards. No specific budget allocation has been disclosed in the solicitation materials.

The solicitation does not explicitly identify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or other specific organization types. Suppliers must comply with E-Verify requirements if they employ workers within Alabama and must certify compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, including immigration laws and sales tax collection requirements. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will not indemnify suppliers. The contract resulting from this Quick Quote may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties for a maximum total contract cost not to exceed $25,000 or a maximum term of five years from the effective date, whichever occurs first. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the solicitation materials. The award will be determined based on budget considerations, with the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences obligated to maintain expenditures within its allocated budget.
