BCL-G18-Short Arc Bulb-Fisher-Micro

The Alabama Department of Public Health Bureau of Clinical Laboratories is soliciting the procurement of four 103 Watt Osram HBO Mercury Short Arc Bulbs with a 300-hour life span. This is a strict procurement with no alternates or substitutions permitted. Due to the critical nature of laboratory testing, the order must be ready to ship within ten business days of the purchase order award, and the order is subject to cancellation if this timeframe is not met. The state reserves the right to withhold the award based on budget restrictions. The contract is governed by the laws of Alabama, with the City of Montgomery as the sole venue for litigation and the Board of Adjustment of the State of Alabama as the sole remedy for monetary disputes. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and provide E-Verify documentation within five calendar days of notification. The state is exempt from sales tax, and vendors must accept electronic payments, including P-cards and EFT, at no additional cost. The total contract value is capped at 25,000 dollars, and the agreement may be renewed annually for up to five years. Award decisions will be based on price reasonableness and cost realism, and the state may require proof of manufacturer authorization, professional licenses, or insurance certificates.
