Core Clear and Charge Stations

The Ohio Attorney General's Office, specifically the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI), is conducting a Request for Quotations (RFQ) to procure thirty (30) Core Clear and Charge Stations (C3S) from qualified vendors. The specific product sought is the 908 Devices Core Clear & Charge Station with product code 810-00271, with strict requirements that all items must be new, unmarked, and free from defects. Vendors are required to submit their responses through the Ohio Buys website, preferably with attachments in searchable PDF format. The procurement timeline includes an inquiry period from October 23, 2025, closing on November 3, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time, with quotes due by November 7, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. Eastern Time. The AGO will award the contract to the lowest-priced responsible and responsive vendor, with quotes required to remain valid for at least 60 days from the quote due date. Evaluation criteria include pricing, responsiveness, and the ability to meet the technical specifications of the Core Clear and Charge Stations.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The procurement is focused on obtaining a standard manufacturer's warranty that includes replacement parts and repair services at no additional cost, with the warranty commencing upon delivery and acceptance of the equipment. The AGO has noted that pricing should not assume long-term financing beyond the current biennium, which concludes on June 30, 2027, and reserves the right to negotiate all terms associated with the solicitation. While a specific budget range is not detailed in the documentation, the procurement involves thirty units of specialized equipment. The jurisdiction for this procurement is Mahoning County, Ohio, and the contract appears to be for the direct use of the Attorney General's Office. The solicitation suggests a one-time purchase of specialized technological equipment with specific technical requirements.
