This document is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Ohio Department of Veterans Services (DVS) and the Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) for a SAA (State Approving Agency) Education Facilities Management Conversion Project. The MOU covers fiscal years 2026 and 2027, establishing a collaborative agreement for technology modernization and process improvement.

The project involves converting the current paper-based and spreadsheet-driven certification and monitoring processes for veteran education facilities to an online application system. The estimated project cost is $317,428.40, with approximately 2,830 hours of effort spanning 11 to 15 months. DAS will provide staffing, technical support, and project management, including developing online forms for various educational institution approvals, compliance audit processes, and system documentation. The departments will share project responsibilities, with DAS invoicing DVS for actual costs and providing post-implementation support. The MOU is effective upon signature and expires on June 30, 2027, with provisions for potential amendments.
