Sole Source On-Line Information Services 9/28/2026

The Alabama Department of Youth Services Legal Department is seeking sole-source procurement of on-line information services for electronic court records from the Alabama State Judicial Systems, with proposals due October 8, 2026. The awardee is Alacourt.com (State of Alabama Administrative Office of Courts), a sole-source designation that restricts competition to this vendor.

The scope comprises on-line information services providing access to electronic court records through the AL State Judicial Systems for the contract period October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and participate electronically through the Public Solicitation site prior to close.

The total contract cost is capped at $25,000. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties for a total contract period not to exceed five years from the effective date, provided total costs do not exceed $25,000. Price escalation requests may be considered if material, labor, or other contract components increase materially, provided increases do not exceed industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index and are capped at 5 percent of annual contract costs. Pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer.

Vendors must accept multiple forms of electronic payment including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT at no additional cost to the State. Suppliers employing individuals in Alabama must provide E-Verify enrollment verification. Additional compliance requirements include Alabama sales tax certification, Alabama Secretary of State registration for foreign corporations, disclosure statements for contracts exceeding $25,000, and debarment and suspension certification. Questions and inquiries must be submitted on-line through the Supplier Portal to maintain a record of all communications.
