REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP)

DOHxxxx

The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is soliciting proposals from contractors with the ability and

interest to offer professional services to provide non-fatal overdose data from hospitals to ODH.

1. PROJECT INFORMATION:

1.1. Project Title: Non-Fatal Overdose Reporting

1.2. Solicitation Posting Date: 12/16/2025

received by this date. Applications must be submitted via Ohio Buys. Each application

component must be clearly labeled.

1.6. Project Background: Each year, approximately 4,000 Ohioans are dying from an unintentional

drug overdose (OD). While making some gains, Ohio is 5th highest in the number of OD deaths

and 12th highest in OD death rates (per 100,000). Individuals who have survived an overdose are

at high risk of a future fatal overdose. Overdose is a reportable condition that emergency

departments must report to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).

1.7. Project Objective: This project's goal is to continue to receive non-fatal overdose individual

encounters, as reportable by emergency departments, through automatic data feeds transmitted

to ODH. As another valuable tool for preventing drug overdoses, this data will be used to:

1) Allow prescribing providers to see a patient’s overdose history through an indicator in the Ohio

Automated Rx Reporting System (OARRS); and 2) Direct statewide policies and targeted actions.

1.8. Projected Estimated Budget: $67,000 NOT TO EXCEED FOR PROJECT PERIOD

1.9. Project Award: 1 Award

1.10. Approximate Project Period: 02/01/2026 – 6/30/2027.

ODH reserves the right to execute multiple agreements with awarded provider to fulﬁll the

entire project period, subject to and contingent on the discretionary decision of the Ohio

General Assembly to appropriate funds (if needed) for the biennium, satisfactory performance

of the awarded providers and the needs of the Ohio Department of Health

1.11. Agreement Term: 02/01/2026 - 6/30/2027 with up to four (4) years of additional Renewal Terms

may not exceed after 6/30/2031.

1.12. Renewal Terms: 12-month optional renewal period(s) dependent upon the receipt and approval

of funds to ODH for this project, this agreement may be renewed into four (4) 12-month terms.

• Renewal Optional Year 4: 7/01/2030 – 6/30/2031.

At the sole option of ODH, ODH may extend this Contract past the initial Agreement Term for a

period of ninety (90) days. Renewal terms may be exercised by mutual agreement between the

Contractor and ODH. The cumulative time of all mutual renewals may not exceed four (4)

additional years and are subject to and are contingent upon the discretionary decision of the Ohio

General Assembly to appropriate funds for this project in each new biennium. If any renewal is

exercised, a new contract will be issued at the beginning of the new biennium. ODH may evaluate

whether a renewal is appropriate considering the satisfactory performance of the Contractor and

the future and continuing needs of ODH’s Programs.
