QED Sampling Items

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil & Gas Resources Management is soliciting bids for laboratory sampling supplies specifically for the Cambridge Ohio Environmental Lab. This procurement opportunity focuses on acquiring critical sampling equipment, with precise specifications that mandate new, unused items aligned with OEPA sampling methodologies and drinking water certifications. The contract requires vendors to provide two specific QED QuickFilter products: 5 units of FF8500 QuickFilter Transfer Vessel & Hand Pump and 50 units of FF8200T QuickFilter High Capacity Inline Filter. The solicitation is geographically situated in Greene County, Ohio, with a bid posting date of April 16, 2025, and a firm submission deadline of May 1, 2025. Vendors must quote items exactly as specified, with no alterations permitted due to stringent environmental sampling protocol requirements. The procurement appears to be a direct, non-complex purchase requiring strict adherence to technical specifications.

While the provided documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the attached Standard Terms and Conditions document suggests a preference for Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Encouraging Diversity, Growth and Equity (EDGE) vendors. The standard terms indicate potential requirements for vendors to maintain appropriate insurance, comply with state and federal laws, and potentially submit usage reports. The contract likely involves standard state payment terms, with invoices typically due within 30 calendar days of receipt. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the procurement seems to be a targeted, specialized purchase of scientific sampling equipment. The contract appears to be structured for direct procurement without a multi-tiered selection process, focusing primarily on technical compliance and product specifications rather than complex evaluation criteria.
