Executive Order 2022-02D Summary

This is an Executive Order issued by the State of Ohio in 2022 establishing directives for state agencies and operations. The order applies to all departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the State of Ohio, including the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (DRC), which is the relevant agency for the GPS Alcohol and Drug Monitoring solicitation. The Executive Order sets forth policy requirements and operational guidelines that govern how state agencies must conduct their affairs and procurement activities. While the specific provisions of the order directly impact the DRC's ability to solicit vendors for monitoring services, the document establishes the framework and authority under which the GPS Alcohol and Drug Monitoring contract opportunity (DRC270020-APA) is being pursued.

The Executive Order establishes compliance requirements and operational standards that bidders responding to the DRC's GPS Alcohol and Drug Monitoring solicitation must adhere to, including any applicable set-asides, regulatory requirements, and state procurement directives. Vendors seeking to provide continuous alcohol monitoring, transdermal drug detection, GPS monitoring alternatives, or other selected monitoring options must ensure their proposals align with the directives outlined in this Executive Order. The order may include specific preferences for Ohio-based vendors, compliance certifications, or other requirements that directly impact proposal evaluation and contract award decisions for the monitoring services opportunity.
