EXECUTIVE_ORDER__2022-02D.pdf

This is an Executive Order document issued by the State of Ohio in 2022 addressing government operations and policy directives. The document establishes operational guidelines and requirements for state agencies, including correctional institutions under Ohio's Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The executive order sets forth mandates regarding agency compliance, personnel management, and procurement procedures that would apply to contract opportunities such as the Belmont Correctional Institution's Protestant Chaplain position. The order emphasizes efficiency, cost management, and adherence to state procurement standards for all contracting activities. No specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, or award dates are outlined within the executive order itself, as it serves as an overarching policy framework rather than a specific solicitation document.

The executive order establishes the regulatory and procedural foundation under which state agencies must conduct their contracting activities, including hiring practices for specialized positions such as chaplaincy services. The document does not contain specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information related to individual contract opportunities. Rather, it provides the governance structure and requirements that state agencies, including the Belmont Correctional Institution with its population of approximately 2,500 incarcerated persons, must follow when procuring services and filling specialized positions through contractual arrangements.
