Voting machines

The Ohio Multiple Award Contract (MAC) OT902619 is a comprehensive Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for voting systems and related election technology equipment. The contract enables state agencies, higher education institutions, and cooperative purchasing members to procure critical voting infrastructure, including ADA-accessible voting units, high-speed optical scanners, touchscreen voting units, and compatible printers. Its scope covers not only hardware procurement but also encompasses five-year service and maintenance schedules, software licensing, and essential training components for election technology implementations across Ohio counties.

The IDV is awarded to five prime contractors: Clear Ballot Group, Dominion Voting Systems, Election Systems & Software (ES&S), Hart InterCivic, and Unisyn Voting Solutions. Administered by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS), this competitive selection contract is currently effective from 11/21/18 through 11/30/25, providing statewide coverage for Ohio's election technology needs. Each vendor must have voting system solutions certified by the Ohio Secretary of State and meet stringent technical, security, and operational requirements. While specific contract value details are not explicitly stated, the IDV allows for flexible purchasing using both state-funded and non-state-funded allocations, with a standard 90-day delivery timeline after order receipt.
