(Sole Source) Alacourt On-Line Services-HQ-MA

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences is soliciting a sole-source five-year master agreement for Alacourt On-Line Services renewal under a Quick Quote with proposals due September 21, 2026, and a $25,000 total contract cost cap.

The scope covers online case management and court document services for the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences Headquarters in Auburn, Alabama, supporting unlimited users across the 60-month contract term. Line items include statement fees, case monitoring services, attorney packages at $50 per unit, and page overage charges. Pricing must be fixed for the life of the contract, valid October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031, with annual renewal by written agreement of both parties.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the platform. Respondents must certify compliance with Alabama state requirements, including Secretary of State registration (for foreign entities), E-Verify enrollment (for employers with in-state staff), state and local sales tax collection registration, and non-debarment status. The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences states it will consider its established budget when processing the award and must remain within budget constraints. Price escalation requests may be considered if material, labor, or other contract components significantly increase through no fault of the supplier, provided any increase does not exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost and is supported by appropriate justification.
