The university is required to participate in the Buy Ohio Program, defined by the Ohio Revised Code Section 125.11 and the Ohio Administrative Code Section 123.5 1-26.
Under the Buy Ohio Program bidding procedures are unchanged; however, a 5% economic preference is afforded to those vendors located in Ohio and bidders from "border states”, as determined by the state of Ohio.
Current “border states” include: Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, Pennsylvania.
The OSU Bid Certification Form is used to determine if a bidder qualifies for the Buy Ohio Program.
Purchasing strives to heighten awareness of all the Ohio suppliers and products that are made in Ohio that are currently under contract with the University.
