The procurement is being conducted through the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correction (ODRC), with a bid submission deadline of October 24, 2025, at 4:00:00 p.m. Columbus time.

The bid will remain firm for 90 days after opening, and bidders must comply with preferences for domestic and Ohio products.

The state has implemented specific restrictions and guidelines for potential vendors, including Executive Order 2019-12D, which prohibits contracting for services to be performed outside the United States, and Executive Order 2022-02D, which prevents contracts with Russian institutions or companies. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documents, Ohio typically supports equal opportunity employment and ADA services.
