The agency intends to purchase between one and eight units to assist narcotics agents in locating concealed illegal narcotics within vehicles and residences. The required equipment must include upgraded lead detection, a TX panel kit, a standard accessories kit, and a MatID upgrade.

Pricing must be comprehensive, covering all equipment, delivery, setup, and warranty costs. Upon delivery, the vendor is required to assist the AGO in acceptance testing to verify device functionality, image quality, connectivity, battery performance, and accessory completeness. The contract is governed by the AGO Goods Terms and Conditions, which include a one-year warranty against material defects and viruses, as well as requirements for the contractor to indemnify the Attorney General for negligence or intellectual property infringement. Payment is contingent upon the issuance of an official State of Ohio Purchase Order and compliance with the Ohio Revised Code. Invoices must be submitted electronically to the AGO finance department with a full itemization of goods. Contractors must certify that they are not debarred from government contracts, comply with U.S. trade control laws, and adhere to state and federal equal employment opportunity laws.
