SODC Commercial Electric Double Convection Oven

The Southwest Ohio Developmental Center (SODC), operating under the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), has issued a Request for Quotation (SRC 0000027479) for a commercial electric double convection oven to be procured for Clermont County. The solicitation seeks one commercial grade electric double convection oven with specific technical requirements, including double convection capability, 208V 3-phase electric power, stainless steel construction, and capacity to accommodate five 18x26 inch baking pans in each section. The oven must feature casters, removable racks, oven lamps in each compartment, four doors, a timer, and an operating temperature range of 200-500 degrees Fahrenheit. The procurement timeline requires vendors to submit inquiries by January 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM, with final quotes due on January 31, 2025, at 4:00 PM. Bidders must submit proposals through OhioBuys, providing complete model numbers, equipment pictures, warranty information, and including all associated parts, labor, and permit/engineering service fees. The contract will be awarded to the most cost-effective bidder, with quotes required to remain valid for a minimum of 30 days, and the project expected to commence within 30 days of award.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must complete and submit two critical forms: the Standard Affirmation and Disclosure Form (addressing offshore services and responses to geopolitical conflicts) and the Contractor Information Form, which requires detailed company information including employee demographics, nationwide and Ohio-specific operations, and OAKS Supplier ID or Tax Identification Number. The form mandates disclosure of business locations, service performance locations, and data storage sites, with the state retaining the right to terminate contracts if services are moved outside the United States without approved waivers. While no specific budget range is provided in the available documents, vendors must demonstrate compliance with all technical specifications and submit comprehensive documentation to be considered. The procurement is specifically for the SODC and will be executed through standard Ohio state contracting procedures, with a focus on obtaining a high-quality, functional commercial convection oven that meets the center's operational requirements.
