The state of Ohio is seeking to procure a specialized flatbed trailer with specific technical requirements for heavy-duty transportation purposes. The procurement opportunity involves a low-profile flat deck trailer measuring 35 feet, featuring a Demco 2 5/16" square gooseneck coupler rated for 30,000 pounds and equipped with two 12,000-pound axles. The trailer must include electric and spring suspension mechanisms, a straight deck configuration, and two slide-in ramps. According to the attached specification document, the trailer requires a comprehensive set of standard features, including a ProBeam engineered I-beam neck, 2" x 6" x 1/8" rectangular tubing frame, and a 102" wide deck constructed with 2" treated pine lumber. The contract opportunity was posted on September 17, 2025, with proposals due by September 28, 2025. Potential vendors must provide a trailer with specific technical specifications, including 16" black wheels, radial tires, retractable steps, a lockable front toolbox, 8' ramps, DOT-approved flush mount LED lights, and an all-weather 7-way RV wiring harness. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions were explicitly noted in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified trailer manufacturers and suppliers who can meet the stringent technical specifications. The trailer requires comprehensive safety features, including safety chains, an electric breakaway kit, DOT reflective tape, and amber side turn flashers. The specification highlights industry-leading axle and structural warranty coverage, which may factor into vendor selection. Although a precise budget range was not specified, the detailed technical requirements suggest a high-end, professional-grade trailer procurement. The trailer's specifications indicate a significant investment in transportation infrastructure, with a focus on durability, safety, and performance. Potential vendors should carefully review the technical requirements and be prepared to demonstrate compliance with the state of Ohio's specific equipment standards.
