SOLE SOURCE - E-OSCAR Service Renewal

The Alabama Department of Human Resources is requesting a quote for renewal of E-OSCAR platform services for fiscal year 2027 under a sole-source procurement, with quotes due October 6, 2026. Only the proprietary owner of the E-OSCAR Platform is eligible to respond, effectively limiting competition to a single qualified provider.

The service renewal period runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with quarterly invoicing. The solicitation does not specify contract value, pricing, or detailed service costs. Responses must be submitted electronically through the Alabama Buys portal prior to the close deadline.

Respondents must be registered in Alabama Buys and must comply with state procurement terms. The Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act applies: any supplier employing workers in Alabama must be enrolled in E-Verify and provide documentation within five calendar days of notification or face bid rejection. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State before conducting business in the state. Price escalation requests are capped at 5 percent of annual contract costs and must be supported by manufacturer or supplier documentation, with increases limited to industry-specific price index or Consumer Price Index changes during the same period. The State accepts multiple electronic payment methods, including state credit cards, P-cards, and electronic funds transfer, at no additional cost to the State. The State reserves the right to cancel for convenience with practicable notice.
