DRC UNIFORM APPAREL FOR THE OHIO DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION AND CORRECTION

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (DRC) is seeking a vendor to provide complete uniform apparel for its security staff. The contract covers men’s and women’s shorts, pants, polo shirts (short‑ and long‑sleeved), button‑down shirts (short‑ and long‑sleeved), and jackets, with a requirement that each uniformed employee receive three shirts and three bottom pieces each fiscal year. The agency operates a decentralized ordering process, allowing each institution to place orders independently under the same contract framework. This solicitation has been amended twice, most recently to add a substitution clause and to extend the inquiry and submission dates. • Required items: shorts, pants, short‑ and long‑sleeve polos, short‑ and long‑sleeve button‑down shirts, jackets. • Quantity commitment: three shirts and three bottoms per employee per year (exact staff count not disclosed). • Contract is a single‑lot ITB (Lot #1) with an open‑for‑bidding status, and the award will be made after the September 3, 2026 deadline. • Vendors must be registered in the OhioBuys Supplier Portal; no OAKS registration required. • Technical support is available via 1‑877‑644‑6771 (general) and 614‑466‑5090 (last‑48‑hour submission questions).
