AGO461500 - Camera Lenses - FY25

The state of Ohio is seeking to procure camera lenses through a Quick Quote process (Contract ID: 681bdb3f9c3574b2ae09fd4a) designated as AGO461500 for Fiscal Year 2025. This procurement opportunity involves replacing existing lenses and requires bidders to provide a trade-in value for 16 used Nikon 24-200 lenses as part of their bid response. The solicitation was posted on May 7, 2025, with proposals due by May 12, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline. Bidders must understand that they are accepting the trade-in lenses in their current condition and will not be permitted to return them after the transaction. The total quoted price must incorporate the trade-in value, which will be directly deducted from the purchase amount of the new lenses on the resulting purchase order. Key evaluation criteria appear to focus on the comprehensive pricing approach that includes the trade-in valuation and the ability to meet the specified lens replacement requirements.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to multiple vendors capable of supplying camera lenses and providing a competitive trade-in valuation. The contract seems targeted at equipment replacement for the Ohio Attorney General's Office (AGO), suggesting a focused procurement with specific technological requirements. No incumbent vendors or precise budget ranges are specified in the current documentation. The procurement method of a Quick Quote implies a streamlined selection process with an emphasis on direct pricing and immediate equipment replacement. Potential bidders should carefully review the terms, particularly the "as-is" condition of the trade-in lenses, and prepare comprehensive responses that address both the new lens procurement and the trade-in valuation.
