Sole source-johnson controls-aatc

The Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDT), a state-funded entity within the Alabama Department of Commerce, has issued a sole-source procurement for Johnson Controls with a response due date of September 15, 2026. The specific goods or services being procured are not detailed in the posted materials.

This is a sole-source procurement, which restricts competition to Johnson Controls exclusively. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys and comply with AIDT's mandatory Financial Terms and Conditions, including submission of W-9 forms, E-Verify Memoranda of Understanding, Certificates of Compliance with the Beason-Hammon Act, and fully executed vendor agreements. All work is subject to AIDT's statewide procurement requirements across all of AIDT's locations.

Payment terms are NET 30 days from invoice date. AIDT operates under Alabama law as a state agency exempt from sales tax and waives no sovereign immunity. All disputes must be resolved through good faith negotiation followed by non-binding alternative dispute resolution in Montgomery, Alabama. Vendors must comply with federal and state immigration laws through E-Verify participation and cannot engage in economic boycotts as defined by Alabama Acts 2016-312 and 2023-409. Contracts are terminable by either party with 30 days written notice and are contingent upon legislative appropriations; if appropriations cease, AIDT may cancel the contract and reimburse non-recurring costs only.

The resulting contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties up to a total cost of $25,000 or a maximum term of five years from the effective date. Responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys. No pre-bid meeting, site visit, or question deadline is specified in the posted materials.
