SOLE SOURCE - LEXISNEXIS Subscription - FY27

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting a sole-source subscription to LexisNexis online services for fiscal year 2027, with responses due October 6, 2026.

This is a sole-source procurement, eliminating competitive bidding. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform by the close date. Supplier inquiries must be submitted online through the Supplier Portal to maintain a record of all communications.

The contract is not to exceed $25,000 total, including the original agreement and any subsequent annual renewals, over a maximum period of five years from the effective date. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties.

Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will furnish an exemption letter upon request. Suppliers must certify compliance with Alabama's sales tax registration and collection requirements under Act No. 2006-557. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State before transacting business in the state. Any supplier employing one or more employees within Alabama must provide verification of E-Verify program enrollment prior to award, with documentation due within five calendar days of notification; failure to submit documentation results in bid rejection.

For this contract, a Disclosure Statement is required only from the awarded supplier within ten days of award. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis and may approve annual price increases not exceeding 5 percent of annual contract cost if justified by documented increases in materials, labor, or industry-specific indices.
