State Fire Marshal Uniforms

The Ohio Department of Commerce is seeking a contractor to provide professional services for outfitting the State Fire Marshal’s eight Bureaus with uniforms via dedicated online ordering portals. Each bureau will have its own web portal to select, order, and track uniform items, with orders individualized and packaged by employee name and bureau. The contract mandates the supply of a full range of uniform apparel—such as snag-proof tactical polos, easy-care work shirts, lightweight tactical pants and shorts, crewneck sweatshirts, quarter zip job shirts, waterproof duty jackets, knit and ball caps, expandable mesh vests, and formal Class A uniforms—with various technical specifications and color options, all featuring the State Fire Marshal logo and offered in both men's and women's sizing. The project budget is capped at $60,800 and requires the contractor to manage setup and maintenance of each bureau’s ordering portal, ensuring accessibility, tracking, and transparency. Requirements for bidders include registration as a vendor with the State of Ohio and adherence to minority business enterprise participation and all applicable state regulations. Performance locations are specified by each bureau, and the contract period will begin upon execution and continue as outlined in the agreement. This initiative supports the Ohio Fire Academy’s mission to enhance statewide emergency response capabilities and standardize uniform distribution for personnel in training and service.
