This is a Pre-Proposal Conference Slide Deck for the State of Ohio Computer Center Steady-State Operations (SOCC-SS) Request for Proposals. The State of Ohio is soliciting proposals from one contractor to provide operational support, implement modern infrastructure services management tools, and align the SOCC with a modernized, future-state operating model. The scope of work encompasses staff augmentation services, mainframe services, facilities technical management services, XF services, and implementation services across multiple statements of work (Parts 1a through 1e). Proposals are due September 30, 2026, and must be submitted through OhioBuys, Ohio's electronic procurement system. Bidders should use Chrome as the preferred browser and maintain only a single logged-in window per user account to avoid system errors during submission. Technical support for OhioBuys platform questions only is available at 614-466-5090 during the final 48 hours before the deadline.

The RFP includes detailed specifications and service requirements contained in Part 1a through Part 1e statements of work, state IT policy and service standards (Exhibit 1), and facilities equipment asset listings (Exhibit 4). Cost-summary templates for proposal pricing are provided for bidder preparation. The source materials do not contain accessible details regarding contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor, evaluation criteria weighting, or specific procurement timeline milestones beyond the September 30 proposal submission deadline. Technical support personnel will not answer substantive questions regarding the solicitation itself, limiting assistance to submission platform technical issues only.
