The State of Ohio's preference certification framework allows eligible suppliers to compete for scoring preferences under three categories: Domestic Preference (Buy American), Ohio Preference (Buy Ohio), and Veterans Preference (Buy Veteran). To qualify for Ohio preference, suppliers must demonstrate significant economic presence in Ohio through tax payment, Secretary of State registration, and employment thresholds of either ten or more employees or 75% or more employees based in Ohio; border state suppliers from Kentucky, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana may qualify under modified criteria. Suppliers certified as Veteran Friendly Business Enterprises under Ohio Administrative Code 123:5-1-01(OO) may receive veterans preference consideration. The procurement documents do not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specified budget ranges for this contract opportunity. 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.
