ITPR0003894 PDQ Connect Premium Renewal

The Ohio Department of Transportation is soliciting for the renewal of 450 PDQ Connect Premium Licenses under solicitation ITPR0003894, posted on April 7, 2026, with a deadline for submission on April 22, 2026. This is a renewal procurement, indicating a continuation of an existing software licensing arrangement rather than a new acquisition. While the complete technical specifications and detailed requirements are contained in the bid specification document (ITPR-0003894_Bid_Specs.docx), the solicitation requires vendors to meet established technical and operational standards for providing PDQ Connect Premium license services to the state agency. Bidders must review all solicitation documents, including the Purchasing Standard Terms and Conditions (05-2025), to understand the full scope of requirements, evaluation criteria, and contractual obligations. The procurement framework establishes the regulatory and procedural guidelines governing the procurement execution, though specific pricing details, contract duration terms, and detailed evaluation metrics would be documented in the complete solicitation package and any resulting award agreements.

All contractors and subcontractors bidding on this opportunity must complete and submit the Affirmation and Disclosure Form (dated 5-20-24), which requires disclosure of principal business locations, all service performance locations, and all locations where state data will be accessed, tested, maintained, backed up, or stored. Contractors must affirm compliance with Executive Orders prohibiting offshore service performance, offshore data location, and purchases from Russian institutions or companies, with all services and state data required to remain within the United States unless a duly signed waiver is obtained from the State. Contractors are obligated to immediately notify the State of any changes or shifts in service location before, during, or after contract execution, and the State retains the right to terminate the contract if services are performed or state data is located outside the United States without approved waivers. The solicitation documents do not specify incumbent vendor information, set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, or explicit budget allocations; however, as a renewal contract, pricing is likely based on previously established rates and existing vendor relationships. Prospective bidders should contact the Ohio Department of Transportation for additional information regarding pricing structure, contract term length, and any available set-aside opportunities.
