The Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM) is seeking quotes for a specific paper procurement, specifically requesting two reams of Blazer Digital White Paper in 11 x 17 inch size, with specifications of 80 lb Text Gloss C/2S and 500 sheets per ream. This request for quotation (RFQ) is focused on Franklin County and will be delivered to ODM headquarters in Columbus, Ohio. The procurement is structured through Ohio Buys platform, with bids required to be submitted on company letterhead and include vendor contact information. The solicitation requires a comprehensive bid package, including a PDF copy and vendor details. Evaluation criteria will prioritize the lowest responsive and responsible bid, with ODM reserving the right to reject any or all submissions, or potentially not make an award. The solicitation timeline indicates a posting date of April 25, 2025, with bid responses due by April 30, 2025, and all submitted bids must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days from the closing date. Vendor participation is exclusively limited to Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) certified through the State of Ohio, with mandatory requirements for vendors to provide their certified MBE/EDGE vendor number and certification expiration date. UNSPS codes for MBE certification must align with the paper product being solicited. Vendors must demonstrate consistency between their certification and the specific procurement requirements. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be a relatively small, targeted purchase of office supplies. The strict MBE certification requirement suggests a deliberate effort by ODM to support minority-owned businesses in government contracting. The procurement allows for significant discretion, with ODM explicitly reserving the right to cancel or reissue the RFQ for any reason, indicating flexibility in the procurement process.
