ENGR-Red Eagle - Lumber

The solicitation for lumber under contract title ENGR-Red Eagle - Lumber, with solicitation number SRC0000035116, is issued by the Alabama Department of Corrections, Engineering office and is open for response until August 11, 2026. This procurement is governed by a comprehensive set of state-level contractual clauses rather than federal FAR provisions, with 32 locally defined clauses covering key aspects of supplier obligations, compliance, and contract administration. The work involves delivering lumber to locations within Alabama, with acceptance occurring at the destination after government inspection, and title transferring only upon formal acceptance. The contract has a maximum term of five years with annual renewals, subject to a total cost cap of $25,000. Contractors must comply with Alabama-specific legal requirements including E-Verify registration for all new hires, certification of adherence to state sales tax laws, and affirmation of non-debarment status on both federal and state lists. No line-item pricing details are provided, and the award basis is not explicitly stated as LPTA or trade-off, though cost realism and price reasonableness are explicitly considered. The supplier must be registered with the Alabama Secretary of State, and foreign corporations must meet state registration mandates. Price increases are capped at 5% annually and require prior written approval, while prompt payment terms include interest penalties for late payments. The contractor bears all risk of loss until acceptance and is responsible for all applicable taxes. The State may terminate for convenience without cause, or for cause due to default. Documentation such as proof of insurance, licenses, and manufacturer authorizations may be required upon request. Electronic submission through the Alabama Buys Supplier Portal is mandatory, and all agreements must be signed; click-wrap or electronic assents are invalid unless formally executed by an authorized state official. The contract is governed by Alabama law, with disputes to be resolved in Montgomery, and no indemnification is provided by the State to the supplier. Records must be retained for three years, and the State retains audit rights. There are no stated socioeconomic set-asides, size certifications, or UEI/CAGE requirements, and no specific packaging, marking, or technical quality standards such as ASTM or ANSI are referenced.
