Canon Copiers

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) to procure sixteen Canon copiers across eleven Ohio locations, specifically fourteen Canon iR ADV DX C5840i multifunction printers and two Canon iR ADV DX 529iF models. The procurement seeks an authorized Canon equipment dealer to supply, deliver, and install these devices, with a contract period from February 23, 2026, to June 30, 2026. Deliverables include complete network setup, staff training, and transportation of existing copiers to OOD's Columbus warehouse, with all equipment required to be fully functional by April 30, 2026. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, considering factors such as contractor experience, financial condition, previous contract performance, and management capabilities. Electronic responses must be submitted through the OhioBuys platform by the specified deadline, with all required attachments and documentation, including certification statements and compliance forms.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations, but bidders must complete mandatory certification statements related to domestic sourcing, Ohio preference, and veterans preference. The project is partially funded through federal grants from the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with the Vocational Rehabilitation program receiving 78.7% of its funding through a DOE VR grant. In federal fiscal year 2025, OOD received $177,897,297 in federal funds, with state appropriations covering the remaining 21.3% of total costs. Contractors must comply with equal employment opportunity laws, Ohio ethics regulations, and various state and federal requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant investment in modernizing OOD's printing and document management infrastructure across multiple locations.
