The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), specifically the Division of Mineral Resources Management's Coal Regulatory program, is seeking to procure two seismograph units for geological monitoring and risk assessment of coal mines. The procurement is located in Tuscarawas County and will be delivered to the ODNR's New Philadelphia office at 2207 Reiser Avenue, SE.

The procurement is focused on obtaining specialized scientific equipment to support the agency's geological risk assessment capabilities. The contract opportunity was posted on July 3, 2025, with proposals due by July 24, 2025. The seismographs will be used to monitor and assess geological structures and geodynamic risks associated with coal mining operations within the state of Ohio. The procurement appears to be a direct purchase without complex bidding requirements, emphasizing technical specifications and delivery capabilities.

Potential vendors should carefully review the technical requirements and ensure their proposed equipment can effectively support the Coal Regulatory program's geological risk assessment objectives.
