Sole source-splash BI-IT

The State of Alabama is conducting a sole source procurement for SPLASH BI (Business Intelligence) IT software and implementation services, with a protest period closing October 2, 2026.

This is a non-competitive acquisition. The sole source justification document (DOPQQBPV4.08.26.pdf, 263 KB) establishes that only one vendor has been identified as capable of meeting Alabama's specific technical requirements, existing system infrastructure compatibility, and business intelligence operational needs. The procurement bypasses competitive bidding procedures based on vendor incumbency status, unique qualifications, or circumstances that warrant non-competitive award under Alabama procurement regulations.

The scope encompasses Business Intelligence software acquisition and associated implementation services. The contract documentation addresses cost analysis, performance capabilities, and implementation requirements specific to the state's Business Intelligence infrastructure. The vendor selected demonstrates necessary technical qualifications for integration with Alabama's existing systems and operational environment.

Funding sources and pricing structure are documented in the justification file. Administrative and technical rationales supporting the sole source approach are provided in accordance with Alabama procurement regulations.
