DAS State Printing and Mail Services Disaster Recovery, Disaster Readiness and Response

This contract pertains to the Ohio Department of Administrative Services' efforts to establish a disaster recovery and response framework for its State Printing and Mail Services. Originally intended to secure emergency back-up printing and mail services, the contract is now being canceled and re-solicited through a new solicitation process. The primary goal is to ensure continuity of critical print and mail operations during disasters that incapacitate the Agency’s facilities, with the scope divided into two key components: Disaster Preparedness and Disaster Response. Disaster Preparedness involves testing agency applications to confirm that the contractor’s production environment is ready should a disaster occur, while Disaster Response involves the actual transfer of services to the contractor’s facilities once a disaster is declared. The contract size ranges from $500,000 to $2 million, and it is part of Ohio’s broader efforts to enhance disaster resilience for essential government services. The solicitation, identified as SRC0000029551, was posted in late October 2025 with a response deadline at the end of October 2025. The project is managed under the NAICS code 561110, which covers office administrative services, emphasizing the importance of administrative and logistical support in disaster scenarios. The contract aims to ensure that the state’s centralized print and mail operations can be swiftly transitioned to an external provider during emergencies, safeguarding ongoing communication and document distribution. Additional related solicitations include projects for fencing at multiple locations, renewal of Adobe licenses for 2026, and a Brownfield Remediation Program, indicating a broad scope of procurement activities aimed at infrastructure, technology, and environmental management within Ohio’s state operations.
