About this file
This document contains Preference Certification Statements required by the State of Ohio for suppliers bidding on state and local contracts, specifically for janitorial services at the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) Norwalk Office. The certification statements establish the framework for evaluating supplier eligibility for scoring preferences under three categories: Domestic Preference (Buy American), Ohio Preference (Buy Ohio), and Veterans Preference (Buy Veteran). Suppliers must complete the appropriate certification section based on whether products exceed 50% of the total offered cost for both products and services. The contract opportunity is for janitorial services at 105 Cleveland Rd, Suite A, Norwalk, Ohio 44857, with a contract term running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. OOD is requesting contractors to submit a monthly fee that encompasses all requested services, including labor, supplies, and cleaning materials, along with a formal quote and any applicable state contract and catalog numbers.
The preference certification process requires suppliers to disclose the origin of products and components, with priority given to domestically manufactured products, products with at least 50% U.S.-made components, and Ohio-manufactured or Ohio-sourced products. Ohio preference eligibility includes suppliers with significant economic presence in Ohio demonstrated through tax payment, Secretary of State registration, and employment thresholds (ten or more employees or 75% or more employees based in Ohio). Border state suppliers from Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana may also qualify under modified criteria. Additionally, suppliers certified as Veteran Friendly Business Enterprises under Ohio Administrative Code 123:5-1-01(OO) may receive veterans preference consideration. Any supplier submitting false or misleading information to obtain a scoring preference will be immediately disqualified and subject to administrative or legal action, including potential debarment. The State of Ohio reserves the right to clarify any information during the evaluation process.
