The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting a sole-source quote for KUKA Robotics under Quick Quote procedures, with responses due September 22, 2026.

Responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys by the published close date and time. By submitting a quote, suppliers affirm receipt and understanding of the solicitation, all amendments, and agreement to furnish items or services at quoted prices while certifying compliance with all applicable terms and conditions.

The maximum total contract cost is $25,000 including the original agreement and any subsequent renewals, or a maximum contract term of five years from the effective date, whichever applies first. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties.

The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all bids. Price escalation requests may be considered during performance if material, labor, or other costs increase significantly through no fault of the supplier, provided such increases do not exceed the applicable industry-specific price index or Consumer Price Index during the same period and are capped at five percent of annual contract costs.

The State maintains a sales tax exemption under Alabama Code and will furnish exemption letters upon request. Vendors must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and electronic fund transfers. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State. Suppliers employing workers in Alabama must complete E-Verify enrollment verification. Contracts exceeding $25,000 require Disclosure Statements and certification of compliance with Alabama sales tax registration and collection requirements.
