The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is seeking responses for supply and delivery of a water cooler through its Quick Quotes portal, with responses due October 9, 2026.

This is a quick quote solicitation under Alabama's standard terms and conditions framework. Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through the platform. Delivery is to 301 S. Ripley St.; contact Phillip Upshaw at 334-676-6261 for delivery coordination.

The maximum total contract cost is $25,000, inclusive of the original agreement and any subsequent renewals, with a total time period not to exceed five years from the effective date. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties. Pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. Price escalation requests may be considered if material, labor, or other contract components significantly increase through no fault of the supplier, provided justification and documentation are submitted, with increases not exceeding the industry-specific price index or Consumer Price Index and capped at 5 percent of annual contract cost.

The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax and will provide exemption letters upon request.
