FY26 OSP Pre-Fabricated Custom Sheds

The Ohio Department of Public Safety and Ohio State Highway Patrol is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the turnkey delivery, installation, and assembly of two two-story prefabricated custom storage sheds, each measuring 16 feet wide by 50 feet long with a loft peak height of 7 feet 5 inches. One shed will be delivered to the ODRC Corrections Training Academy in Orient, Ohio, and the second to the Marysville Post 80 K9 Facility in Marysville, Ohio, with each structure featuring site-specific customizations including distinct exterior finishes, interior framing, electrical systems, and room configurations. To qualify as responsive, bidders must submit a PDF quote with 60-90 day price validity, complete a Prior Projects & References Form documenting at least three similar projects completed within the past five years, and attend a mandatory site visit at the Orient Correctional Training Academy scheduled for February 19-23, 2026 (with pre-registration required by 2:00 PM the day prior to attendance). The award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, with the contract term extending from purchase order receipt through June 30, 2026, and potential renewal for up to 24 months upon mutual agreement. Bids are due by March 4, 2026, through the OhioBuys procurement system; however, bidders should note that an OhioBuys system outage is scheduled for February 26 through March 2, 2026, during which time bids cannot be submitted, and the solicitation has been extended beyond the standard 10 business days to accommodate this outage. Unit costs must not exceed three digits to the right of the decimal point, bids will remain firm for 90 days following opening, and ODPS reserves the right to reject any bid that does not comply with specifications or if the lowest bid is deemed excessive compared to market conditions or available funds.

The solicitation is subject to domestic preference provisions under the Buy American Act, Ohio product preferences, and the Veteran-Friendly Business Procurement Program, which may provide evaluation advantages to qualifying entities. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or women-owned businesses are explicitly identified in the solicitation documents. Bidders must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including Ohio's ethics laws, equal opportunity requirements, and Executive Orders 2019-12D and 2022-02D regarding offshore services and Russian institution prohibitions, and must pass background checks and drug testing to proceed with contract performance. The contractor will be responsible for all taxes, workers' compensation insurance, office and business expenses, and must furnish its own support staff, materials, tools, and equipment unless otherwise specified. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, compensation will be provided at an hourly rate not to exceed a specified total amount to be determined through the competitive bidding process, with payment due within 30 days of receipt of an acceptable invoice. All deliverables and work products become the property of ODPS upon completion.
