The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is procuring legal research publications as a sole-source contract with Thomson Reuters, with responses due September 17, 2026 through the Quick Quote process.

This is a sole-source procurement, indicating no open competition. The scope is legal research publications; specific titles, access terms, or user-seat counts are not detailed in the available documentation.

The total contract value is capped at $25,000 across the initial agreement and all renewal periods combined, with a maximum term of five years from the effective date. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties. Price escalation requests during performance may be approved if material, labor, or other cost components increase significantly, provided justification and supporting documentation are submitted and approved increases do not exceed 5 percent of the annual contract cost.

Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Compliance requirements include Alabama sales tax exemption certification, E-Verify enrollment verification for employees working within Alabama, Beason-Hammon Act compliance regarding immigration law, and Alabama Secretary of State registration if the supplier is a foreign corporation. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses on all bids and to cancel the contract for convenience with minimal notice, retaining all sovereign immunity rights without indemnifying suppliers.
