Tourism Pass RFI.docxTourism Pass RFI.docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by TourismOhio, a division of the Ohio Department of Development, seeking vendor information regarding the implementation, administration, and ongoing operational support of a statewide Tourism Pass program. The RFI is designed to gather planning information from qualified vendors about how such a program could be structured and operated. This solicitation is explicitly stated to be for planning purposes only and does not constitute a competitive procurement or obligate the State of Ohio to issue future contracts or awards. No specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' conferences, award dates, or contract terms are detailed in the available documentation.

The RFI does not establish pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or specific funding amounts and sources at this stage. As a planning document, it represents the state's preliminary exploration of vendor capabilities and market solutions for managing a statewide tourism pass initiative. Vendors responding to this RFI should understand that their participation does not guarantee future contract opportunities, though their input will inform the state's strategic planning process for this potential program.
