The Ohio Attorney General's Office (AGO) is soliciting proposals through a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a 60-month lease of production printers and associated print management software solutions to support the agency's Copy Center operations. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide a Color Printer/Copier, a Black and White Printer, and a Black and White Printer/Copier capable of handling 300,000 combined monthly impressions to support high-volume printing operations including collection letters, BCI fingerprinting results, and trial documentation. Mandatory requirements include secure print functionality, IRS Publication 1075 compliance for federal tax information handling, disaster recovery capabilities, and integration with the existing Konica Minolta 6120 production printer at a secondary location. Deliverables include vendor installation and setup, ongoing maintenance and support, user training, and secure equipment removal with data destruction at contract end, with options for hard drive purchases. Proposals will be evaluated using a best-value methodology weighted 60 percent for technical merit (Company Overview and Experience: 20 points; Technical and Functional Response: 40 points) and 40 percent for pricing, with the highest-scoring technical proposal receiving maximum technical points and the lowest-priced proposal receiving maximum cost points. The RFP was released January 23, 2026, with an inquiry deadline of February 6, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time and a proposal submission deadline of February 23, 2026 at 11:00 AM Eastern Time via Ohio Buys; equipment demonstrations and site visits are estimated for April 2026, with notification of the apparent successful offeror expected in May 2026 and contract finalization targeted for August 2026.
The RFP contains no specified set-asides or incumbent protections, and responses are open to all qualified vendors meeting the mandatory technical and compliance requirements. The current lease arrangement involves integration with existing Konica Minolta equipment at a secondary location, and vendors must demonstrate capability to integrate seamlessly with this infrastructure; the current Copy Center averages 467,313 black and white impressions and 10,959 color impressions monthly. The AGO emphasizes cost-effectiveness and welcomes flexible and innovative pricing approaches while maintaining publicly funded, budget-conscious principles, with pricing proposals required to provide transparent, competitive, and predictable monthly lease costs with detailed breakdowns of all direct and indirect costs including setup fees, licensing, support, maintenance, and training. Vendors must meet significant compliance and security obligations including IRS Publication 1075 requirements for handling federal tax information, completion of background checks, implementation of comprehensive security controls, and adherence to AGO network access policies for both interactive and non-interactive users. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the 60-month lease term beginning in 2026 through June 30, 2027, with potential annual renewal options through February 29, 2032, indicates a multi-year commitment contingent upon funding authorization from the Ohio General Assembly each fiscal biennium.
