Phillips AED Replacement Batteries - M5070A

The Ohio Department of Medicaid is seeking competitive bids for the supply of six Phillips AED Replacement Batteries (model M5070A). The solicitation emphasizes the preference for awards to vendors holding a State Term Schedule (STS), but non-STS suppliers may also bid if they are authorized by the manufacturer and if fewer than three STS suppliers submit qualifying bids. Bidders must be MBE Certified vendors and are required to reference the applicable STS Contract number on their submissions. The bid process mandates adherence to Ohio Buys' prescribed format, including submitting a PDF copy on company letterhead along with contact details, and bids must remain valid for at least 90 days post-deadline. The deadline for responses is May 23, 2025, with the award potentially going to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; however, the agency reserves the right to reject all bids, cancel, or reissue the solicitation at its discretion. Delivery of the batteries will be made to the Ohio Department of Medicaid located at 50 West Town Street, Columbus, Ohio. The contract size is estimated to be between $1,000 and $2,000. The procurement process is managed by Ohio's State and Local Government Entities (SLED), and interested vendors can find additional details and manage their bids through the Ohio Buys portal. The agency retains the right to make no award if deemed appropriate and may reissue the solicitation for any reason, ensuring a fair and competitive bidding process for qualified MBE-certified suppliers.
