1_Disqualifying_Offenses_2025.pdf

This document is a disqualifying offenses list established by the State of Ohio for contractor eligibility and compliance purposes. The file outlines specific criminal offenses and violations that render individuals and organizations ineligible to participate in state and local contract opportunities, including the Renovation at JFK High School - Welding Lab project. The disqualifying offenses criteria apply to all bidders, contractors, and their personnel who seek to work on state-funded projects in Ohio, establishing baseline eligibility requirements that must be met prior to contract award and throughout the contract performance period.

The disqualifying offenses list serves as a screening mechanism to ensure that only qualified and compliant entities can participate in state procurement processes. Bidders responding to the JFK High School welding lab renovation and other Ohio contract opportunities must certify that they and their proposed team members have not been convicted of or charged with any offenses listed in this document. Non-compliance with these eligibility requirements results in automatic disqualification from consideration and potential contract award. This mechanism is fundamental to Ohio's procurement integrity standards and applies uniformly across all state and local contract opportunities to maintain accountability and public trust in the contracting process.
