TA - Plumbing Systems MRO - FY26

The Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for Facilities Plumbing Systems Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) for Fiscal Year 2026, solicitation number SRC0000030410. The procurement seeks to award a purchase order under contract MAC043 for comprehensive plumbing maintenance and repair services across four juvenile correctional facilities: Cuyahoga Hills Juvenile Correctional Facility, Indian River Juvenile Correctional Facility, Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility, and the DYS Training Academy. Qualified suppliers must be certified/licensed technicians capable of performing preventative maintenance, system inspections, and addressing unexpected maintenance needs such as leak repairs, clog removals, and septic line interventions. The solicitation is divided into four distinct lots, with suppliers required to provide responses for each facility they wish to service. Key evaluation criteria include hourly rates for various plumbing services, compliance with Ohio code requirements, and adherence to manufacturers' recommendations. The RFQ timeline includes site visits available (but not mandatory) by May 13, 2025, with quotes due on May 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Services will be performed during normal working hours, Monday through Friday, covering the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Suppliers must submit cost proposals through OhioBuys, completing an item grid with hourly rates for regular service and trip charges, with quotes remaining valid for a minimum of 60 days. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, considering not-to-exceed pricing for existing Department of Administrative Services (DAS) contracts. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement covers multiple juvenile correctional facilities and will involve comprehensive plumbing maintenance and repair services. The solicitation covers services across multiple Ohio jurisdictions, including Cuyahoga County, Scioto County, Stark County, Cincinnati City, and Melrose Village. The purchase order will be structured to ensure comprehensive coverage of plumbing system maintenance needs across the specified juvenile correctional facilities, with a focus on preventative and responsive maintenance to ensure operational efficiency and safety of the facilities' plumbing infrastructure.
