TWSP-VNMP-VNCP-VNUP-Sewing Machine Maintenance

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting quotes for sewing machine maintenance through the Alabama Buys Quick Quote platform, with responses due September 8, 2026.

Quotes must be submitted electronically through the Alabama Buys portal. The contract term extends up to five years from the effective date or until total contract cost reaches $25,000, whichever occurs first, with annual renewal options available by written agreement. Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys before submitting responses.

Compliance requirements include E-Verify verification if the supplier employs workers in Alabama, with documentation required within five calendar days of notification or the bid will be rejected. The State is exempt from sales tax and does not indemnify suppliers. Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State before transacting business in the state.

The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis on all quotes and may request written proof of qualifications, including manufacturer authorizations, professional licenses, and insurance certificates. Price escalation requests are capped at five percent of annual contract cost and must be supported by documentation showing increases in materials, labor, or other components do not exceed industry-specific or Consumer Price Index increases during the same period.

For contracts exceeding $25,000, a Disclosure Statement is required; for competitively bid contracts, only the awarded supplier must submit this within ten days of award. All supplier inquiries must be directed through the Supplier Portal to maintain documentation. By submitting a quote, suppliers affirm receipt of the solicitation and all amendments and certify they have not engaged in bid collusion.
