The solicitation was posted on September 3, 2025, with a response deadline set for September 9, 2025. The contract size ranges from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $500,000, and the procurement falls under the NAICS code 335314, which pertains to household laundry equipment manufacturing, though in this context, it relates to power inverters.

Interested vendors can find additional details and participate through the OhioBuys procurement portal. The contract’s focus on a specific set-aside and the requirement to be on Grainger’s contract underscores the department’s commitment to ensuring competitive, fair bidding while prioritizing minority business participation.
