Qty 4 - 4TB Hard Drive

Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) is conducting a procurement for four Samsung 4TB 990 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drives, with the specific model number MZ-V9P4TOB/AM. The solicitation was posted on October 21, 2025, with proposals due by November 6, 2025. This procurement is a simple solicitation through the OhioBuys electronic procurement platform, which requires potential vendors to register and submit responses electronically. Vendors must complete the online submission process, which includes creating an Ohio|ID for system access and potentially completing preference certification statements. The procurement appears to be a direct purchase of specific hardware technology, with requirements for vendors to provide detailed product specifications and potentially demonstrate compliance with state procurement guidelines. Interested vendors must carefully review the attached documentation, including the Standard Terms and Conditions, and ensure they meet all technical and administrative requirements for submission.

The procurement opportunity includes potential preference considerations for domestic, Ohio-based, and veteran-owned businesses through the Preference Certification Statements document. Vendors must carefully document their business origins, manufacturing locations, and economic presence in Ohio or border states to potentially qualify for additional scoring advantages. The OOD standard terms indicate strict compliance requirements, including maintaining proper accounting records, adhering to data security protocols, and prohibiting offshore services. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a relatively small quantity of high-performance solid-state drives. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, provide competitive pricing, and comply with Ohio state procurement regulations. The solicitation appears open to qualified technology suppliers who can meet the specific hardware requirements and navigate the OhioBuys electronic procurement system.
