The State of Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Engineering, is seeking to procure 25 Bluebeam document editing software licenses through a competitive solicitation process. The contract opportunity, identified as 25-736-210-DNR ENG BLUEBEAM EDITING SOFTWARE, was posted on March 6, 2025, with proposals due by March 21, 2025. The primary deliverable is the procurement of document editing software to support the engineering division's operational needs. Potential vendors must carefully review and comply with the attached documentation, including the Addendum to Bid Quote Base Template, Data Security and Privacy Terms, and State IT Policy Standard and Service Requirements. Contractors will be expected to adhere to rigorous data security protocols, including implementing multi-factor authentication, encrypting data, and maintaining an Information Security Program aligned with NIST Special Publication 800-53 moderate baseline standards. The procurement appears to have specific set-aside considerations for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) businesses, in alignment with Ohio's commitment to supporting diverse suppliers. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, potential respondents must meet comprehensive compliance requirements, including adherence to Ohio state ethics laws, open trade regulations, and maintenance of appropriate insurance coverage. The contract is contingent on Ohio General Assembly appropriations, which means funding availability could impact contract continuation. Vendors must also comply with state restrictions on offshore services and demonstrate a drug-free workplace. Although the exact budget range is not explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement is for 25 software licenses, suggesting a moderate-scale technology investment. Successful contractors will need to integrate with existing state IT infrastructure, including potential connections to systems like OAKS, Ohio Business Gateway, and eLicense.
