Even so-called "stock" quotes must include a definitive lead time for proper evaluation. If the part being quoted is not the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or does not match the specified part number, bidders must indicate this in the lead time notes in a prescribed format along with the specific part number. Any applicable core fees should also be noted. Vendors who do not carry a requested part are instructed to select "no bid." The contract is managed by a supply chain coordinator, David Drummonds, who can be contacted directly for assistance or questions regarding the bidding process. The procurement is categorized under the SLED (State, Local, and Education) organization type, and the place of performance is within Ohio. Compliance with bid submission requirements is critical to ensure a responsive proposal, and the entire process is conducted via a centralized online procurement portal accessible to vendors.
