Linens (Bath Towels, Wash Cloths and Kitchen Towels)

The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) has established an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contract (CRP30852) for the procurement of textile products, specifically focused on linens and towel-based items. This requisite program covers multiple terry cloth products including bath towels, wash cloths, and kitchen towels in various configurations, available in white and dark green color options. The contract provides state agencies, political subdivisions, and instrumentalities across Ohio's 88 counties with a standardized procurement mechanism for these essential textile goods, with products predominantly constructed from 86% cotton/14% polyester blends and some premium 100% cotton options.

The IDV is awarded to Goodwill Industries of Akron, Ohio, Inc. and will be in effect from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027. The contract is a mandatory use vehicle with case-based pricing ranging from $127 for kitchen towels to $299 for premium wash cloths. Delivery timeframes are standard at 14 days for in-stock items and 15-30 days for out-of-stock products. State agencies can purchase up to $2,500 using a state payment card, with larger purchases requiring an official state purchase order. The contract includes a mandatory 0.4% revenue share requirement, which contractors must remit quarterly to the state within 30 days of each reporting period.
