The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is requesting sealed bids on two sealed lead acid 12V batteries (INT #261091) via Quick Quote through Alabama Buys, with responses due September 8, 2026.

The batteries must meet specific performance and dimensional requirements: rated capacity 20HR, reserve capacity 25 amps, 184-minute runtime, inserted M8 battery terminals, dimensions 10.24 inches length by 6.65 inches width by 8.31 inches height, and weight of 57.74 pounds each. These are replacement units for a Big Joe Model S30128B4.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit pricing electronically by the solicitation close date. All pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. The resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement up to a total contract cost not exceeding $25,000 or a total time period of five years from the effective date, whichever occurs first.

Foreign corporations must register with the Alabama Secretary of State. Suppliers must comply with the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act and E-Verify enrollment verification if employing individuals within the state. Price escalation requests during contract performance may be considered if costs for materials or labor increase significantly through no fault of the supplier, provided the increase does not exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost and is supported by industry-specific price index or CPI documentation. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax. All suppliers must comply with state registration and tax certification requirements and acknowledge they are not barred from bidding.
