CO - FPO - Security issued Key equipment Req. 4/4/2025

The state of Ohio is seeking security key equipment for Facilities custody staff, specifically to be shipped to the Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility located at 640 Island Road in Circleville, Ohio. This procurement opportunity, identified by the State Local Contract Opportunity ID 68027a5be26efafddc06af02, covers the jurisdictions of Putnam County and Cincinnati City. The primary deliverable is tamper-proof key equipment, as detailed in the attached Tamper-Proof Key Rings document from Key Systems Inc. (KSI), which offers uniquely serial-numbered stainless steel key rings in various sizes ranging from 1" to 4" in diameter, capable of holding between 14 to 66 keys. The procurement is scheduled with a posting date of April 4, 2025, and a critical submission deadline of April 18, 2025. The key rings are designed with a crimped, tamper-evident seal to prevent asset substitution and allow 360-degree key rotation, with additional features including color-coded identification tags and optional key and fob shields.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears focused on standard security equipment for juvenile correctional facilities. The proposed solution includes a comprehensive starter kit containing 30 rings of various sizes, three specialized management tools (Closing Tool, Crimping Tool, and Knipex Cutting Tool), and 50 color-coded identification tags. The product is marketed as an "Industry Standard Among Security Professionals" and can be used to secure various assets including keys, utility knives, medical equipment, and cash management systems. The stainless steel rings are constructed with a 4mm thickness, suggesting durability and long-term usage. Although exact budget ranges are not specified, the procurement appears to be a targeted replacement or enhancement of existing key management infrastructure for correctional facility security staff. Potential vendors should carefully review the technical specifications and be prepared to demonstrate compliance with the detailed product requirements outlined in the Tamper-Proof Key Rings documentation.
