The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) through Ohio Penal Industries (OPI) is seeking quotes for innerspring mattress cores to be used in mattress manufacturing at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution.

Technical specifications require perimeter and interior coils to be 13-gauge, with a 5-inch coil height, and constructed from high carbon spring steel with tensile strength between 205,000 and 275,000 p.s.i. All coils must be Bonnell type with a minimum of three turns, and border rods must be 6-gauge high carbon spring steel extending around the full perimeter. The mattress cores must be heat-treated after assembly, compressed, and crated to meet safety requirements, with delivery in bundles of 20 units. The solicitation was posted on December 30, 2025, with quotes due by January 9, 2026, covering jurisdictions including Sandusky County and Cincinnati City.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendors for this contract. There are no explicit details provided about award values, budget ranges, or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The solicitation appears to be a straightforward procurement for standardized mattress cores with precise technical specifications intended for use in a correctional facility setting. While the document outlines detailed technical requirements for the innerspring mattress cores, it does not provide comprehensive information about the full procurement process, potential vendor qualifications, or contract award specifics. Potential vendors would need to carefully review the full specifications and ensure they can meet the exact technical requirements for manufacturing and delivering the mattress cores to the Chillicothe Correctional Institution.
