The TAX160100 Facilities Mgmt-Administration TAXNOR1 supports the operational readiness and day-to-day functionality of state-owned facilities through targeted procurement of maintenance supplies, specialized equipment, and facilities support services. Its core mission centers on sustaining safe, efficient, and well-maintained physical infrastructure across Ohio’s public sector operations. Strategic priorities include acquiring durable goods and consumables essential for facility upkeep, such as cleaning tools, filtration systems, lighting components, and outdoor amenities like patio umbrellas, reflecting a focus on both routine maintenance and environmental enhancements. The agency prioritizes reliability and functionality over innovation, emphasizing procurement of industrial-grade, long-lasting items that minimize lifecycle costs and reduce operational disruptions.
Procurement patterns reveal a consistent demand for merchant wholesale-sourced goods, particularly in plumbing and heating supplies, industrial machinery, home furnishings, and miscellaneous durable goods. Contracts are typically issued as direct solicitations without set-asides, suggesting a preference for open competition and rapid acquisition cycles to meet time-sensitive facility needs. The agency relies heavily on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products and vendor-supplied maintenance kits, indicating a decentralized, demand-driven procurement model rather than centralized inventory management.
Primary NAICS targets include 561210 for facilities support services, 423830 for industrial equipment, 423850 for maintenance supplies, and 339994 for cleaning tools, reflecting a focus on operational sustainment rather than capital construction. The agency shows no preference for socio-economic set-asides and engages broadly with commercial wholesalers and manufacturers capable of delivering standardized, compliant products. Vendor relationships appear transactional, with emphasis on delivery speed, product consistency, and technical specifications over long-term partnerships.
Organized under Ohio’s Department of Administration, this unit operates as a centralized facilities support function with statewide scope, utilizing standard federal and state procurement vehicles to acquire goods essential to maintaining public infrastructure. Its structure is lean, focused on enabling other state agencies through reliable supply chain execution.
