About this file
This is a fact sheet document from the State of Ohio describing the OhioBuys procurement platform and registration procedures for bidders and suppliers. OhioBuys serves as the primary online platform for conducting procurement activities with the State of Ohio, offering both catalog shopping functionality for standard goods and services and solicitation and contract management capabilities. The platform enables suppliers and bidders to search for available items including office supplies, IT equipment, laboratory supplies, and various other goods, while also allowing state users to create bid opportunities, award contracts, and manage procurement activities. All bidders and suppliers must obtain an OH|ID, a secure single sign-on credential, to access OhioBuys at https://ohiobuys.ohio.gov. The related contract opportunity involves Pymatuning State Park soliciting bids for two aluminum gangways (3' W x 20" L) and two courtesy docks (4' W x 20" L with WearDeck decking in gray) with specified steel truss frames, hardware, and floatation systems. The docks must be factory assembled and delivered to the Padanaram Boat Launch in Andover, Ohio, with a delivery date of March 13, 2026, or sooner.
The fact sheet emphasizes that both new bidders and existing suppliers should complete training through OhioBuys' web-based eLearning videos, hosted webinars, and job aids available on the platform website. Support is available through the OhioBuys project team at ohiobuys@das.ohio.gov and the Ohio Shared Services Team at OBM.ContactCenter@obm.ohio.gov or 877-644-6771. Existing suppliers may manage contacts through OhioPays at supplier.ohio.gov, while bidders manage contacts directly within OhioBuys. The dock specifications require all applicable warranties to be expressly stated in bidders' responses, with the docks featuring polyethylene shell foam-filled floats, galvanized steel hardware, stainless deck screws, and 1" x 6" WearDeck marine grade structural decking with 24" center span.
