The state of Ohio is seeking to procure a Garrett PD 6500i Walk-Through Metal Detector for the Heartland ODMHAS (Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services) through a state and local contract opportunity. The procurement focuses on a high-security metal detection system with advanced technological features, including 21 pre-programmed settings, double detection capabilities, and 33 pinpoint detection zones. Key specifications include non-interference technology, a random alarm feature for secondary screening, and comprehensive networking capabilities that allow for remote control and data analysis. The metal detector provides critical security infrastructure with features such as LED indicators, directional countering, and multi-layered access protection. The contract opportunity was posted on April 28, 2025, with proposals due by May 15, 2025, under the contract identification number 680fa960bc87657507082346. The device must meet high-level global test certifications and is designed for environments requiring rigorous security screening, such as government facilities, correctional institutions, and high-traffic public spaces. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The Garrett PD 6500i metal detector comes with a comprehensive 24-month warranty covering labor and parts, and is cross-compatible with other detection systems. The specification sheet indicates the device can operate in temperatures ranging from 4°F to 158°F and is IP55-rated for durability against environmental challenges. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the procurement suggests a high-end security technology investment typical of state-level public safety and institutional security infrastructure. The device is manufactured in the United States and offers advanced features including solid-state control outputs, adjustable alarm volumes, and visual alarm indicators. The metal detector is constructed from scratch-resistant aluminum and provides a plug-and-play installation with no required rewiring, which could potentially reduce implementation and maintenance costs for the procuring agency.
