OSP Contract – FY26 Renewal - Guard1 Plus Timekeeping

The Ohio State Procurement (OSP) Contract for FY26 is seeking a renewal of the Guard1 Plus Timekeeping system, with specific licensing and service requirements. The procurement involves the acquisition of 2 Attendant Licenses (G1PSE-SUP-AL), 2 Client Licenses (G1PSE-SUP-CL), 1 Reporting Services license (G1PSE-SUP-RS), and 1 Guard1 Plus Software License (G1PSE-SUP-SL). The contract is scheduled for a renewal period from November 4, 2025, to November 3, 2026. The posting date is September 15, 2025, with a submission deadline of September 30, 2025. The procurement appears focused on maintaining and potentially expanding the state's current timekeeping infrastructure, suggesting a need for continuity of existing technological systems. Potential vendors must carefully review the specific license quantities and service requirements to ensure complete compliance with the state's specifications.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, vendors should anticipate standard state procurement requirements for qualification. The contract seems primarily technical in nature, potentially limiting respondents to vendors with specialized timekeeping and licensing software expertise. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the current documentation. The precise budget range or potential award value is not specified, which suggests vendors should be prepared to provide competitive pricing based on the exact license and service requirements. Given the specialized nature of the Guard1 Plus Timekeeping system, respondents will likely need demonstrated experience with similar enterprise-level timekeeping solutions and the ability to provide comprehensive support for the specified license types. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical compatibility, implementation capabilities, and ongoing support for the state's timekeeping infrastructure.
