Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone

The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) has issued a procurement opportunity for a specialized audio recording device, specifically seeking quotes for one Rode VideoMic NTG Camera-mount Shotgun Microphone in black (Model VMNTG). This procurement is targeted for Franklin County, with a solicitation posted on February 12, 2025, and a formal response deadline of February 27, 2025. The contract appears to be a straightforward equipment acquisition, focused on obtaining a high-quality camera-mounted microphone for potential audio/visual documentation purposes. The procurement seems designed to acquire a precise, professional-grade audio recording tool that can be mounted directly onto camera equipment, suggesting potential use in documentation, media production, or investigative recording contexts. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the narrowly defined product specification indicates a precise technical requirement that vendors must meet exactly.

No specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the provided contract opportunity details. The procurement does not appear to have explicit preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participation. The potential award value seems limited to the cost of a single microphone, which would likely be in the moderate equipment procurement range of approximately $200-$500, depending on the specific Rode VideoMic NTG model specifications. Since the solicitation is issued by a state agency (ODM) for a county-level jurisdiction (Franklin County), standard state procurement protocols are likely to be in effect. Potential vendors would need to carefully review the full solicitation documentation to ensure complete compliance with technical specifications and submission requirements. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration with this microphone procurement.
