High Pressure Boiler Operators and/or Stationary Steam Engineers

The Ohio Department of Veteran Services, specifically the Ohio Veterans Home Sandusky (OVH), is seeking a temporary staffing agency to provide High Pressure Boiler Operators and/or Stationary Steam Engineers on a temporary basis, with potential for conversion to permanent staffing. This procurement opportunity is located in Erie County and focuses on filling critical staffing needs for specialized technical personnel responsible for operating and maintaining high-pressure boiler systems. The contract opportunity was posted on July 29, 2025, with proposals due by August 12, 2025, indicating a relatively short procurement timeline. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documents, the procurement appears to prioritize qualified technical professionals with demonstrated expertise in boiler operations and steam engineering. The scope of work suggests the selected vendor must be capable of rapidly deploying qualified personnel to the Ohio Veterans Home Sandusky facility to ensure continuous and safe operation of critical heating infrastructure.

The procurement appears to be open to qualified temporary staffing agencies, though the attached Affirmative Action Program Verification presentation suggests potential preference or requirements for businesses that can demonstrate compliance with Ohio's equal opportunity guidelines. The State of Ohio's standard terms and conditions, included in the documentation, indicate robust requirements for contractor qualifications, including potential mandates for insurance, legal compliance, and professional standards. While specific award values are not specified, the temporary-to-permanent staffing model suggests a potential multi-phase contract with variable compensation based on staffing needs and successful candidate placement. The procurement leverages the Ohio Business Gateway platform, which may provide additional resources or reporting requirements for participating vendors. The contract appears designed to provide flexible staffing solutions while maintaining the option to convert high-performing temporary personnel into permanent Ohio Veterans Home employees.
