LECI Grease Trap Pumping

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Corrections (ODRC) through Lebanon Correctional Institution (LeCI) is procuring monthly grease trap pumping services for an approximately 5,000-gallon grease trap located outside the institution's perimeter. This service procurement is being conducted through OhioBuys, Ohio's cooperative purchasing platform, with bids due by April 24, 2026, and a posting date of March 31, 2026. The selected vendor must provide monthly service completion with invoicing upon each service delivery and must be prepared to work within an institutional environment that may involve exposure to confined residents, unusual facility conditions, and potential emergency on-call requirements. The procurement requires all-inclusive pricing proposals submitted via the OhioBuys platform, with evaluation conducted in accordance with Article 1-15 of the Instructions to Bidders. Awarded contractors must complete background checks through the LEADS system prior to service performance at the contractor's cost, identify all personnel to ODRC within one week of contract award, and comply with all applicable state, federal, and local laws as well as ODRC policies and procedures. ODRC will provide necessary training, facility preparation, escorts, gate pass approval, and project acceptance sign-off to support successful service delivery.

The procurement is not restricted to designated set-asides or specific business classifications, though all contractors and subcontractors must comply with the Affirmation and Disclosure Form requirements, which mandate that all services be performed within the United States and that state data remain within U.S. borders unless a written waiver is obtained from the State of Ohio. Additionally, contractors must affirm compliance with Executive Order 2022-02D, prohibiting services from Russian companies or institutions. All contractors must complete the Independent Contractor/Worker Acknowledgment Form (PEDACKN) within 30 days of service commencement and must maintain specified insurance coverage including $2,000,000 commercial general liability, $1,000,000 automobile liability, and workers' compensation as required by state law. The procurement documents do not identify an incumbent vendor, existing contract amounts, or a specific budget allocation, as these determinations are to be made by the Ordering Agency upon purchase order issuance. No prior technical infrastructure or system integration requirements are noted in the solicitation materials.
