Open RFPs in Ohio (36 live)

36 open federal opportunities name Ohio as the place of performance, plus 3,465 nationwide opportunities open to Ohio businesses. Counted live from SAM.gov, updated June 10, 2026.

Ohio's federal market revolves around the largest single-site employer in the state: Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton. Wright-Patt hosts Air Force Materiel Command, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, and the Air Force Research Laboratory's headquarters, which together make the Dayton region a national center for aerospace acquisition, research contracting, and the professional services around them. Columbus adds the Defense Logistics Agency's Land and Maritime headquarters, a high-volume buyer of spare parts and components that Ohio's manufacturing base feeds daily, plus the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland buys propulsion and aeronautics research support, the VA operates major hospitals in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Dayton, and the Corps' Great Lakes and river work fills the edges.

The State of Ohio posts its own solicitations on Ohio Buys, the eProcurement platform under the Department of Administrative Services, separate from SAM.gov in registration and content. The live numbers below come from RFPhound's daily SAM.gov scan, Ohio place-of-performance work plus the nationwide pool that DLA Land and Maritime competes much of its parts buying through.

Ohio questions

Asked by Ohio vendors.

How many RFPs are open in Ohio right now?

As of June 10, 2026, RFPhound counts 36 open federal contract opportunities naming Ohio as the place of performance, plus 3,465 nationwide opportunities with no single state named that Ohio businesses can compete for. These counts regenerate every morning from SAM.gov.

Why does Wright-Patterson matter beyond Dayton?

It is the Air Force's acquisition and research headquarters: AFMC, AFLCMC, and AFRL all sit there. Engineering services, R&D, IT, and program support are competed both locally and through nationwide vehicles, so it shapes the national market, not just Ohio's.

Where does the State of Ohio post its RFPs?

On Ohio Buys, run by the Department of Administrative Services. Cities, counties, and schools post separately. SAM.gov, the source for this page's live counts, carries only the federal pipeline.

What does DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus buy?

Spare parts and components for ground vehicles and ships in very high volume: thousands of solicitations a year, many small, many set aside for small business. Ohio machine shops and distributors are natural bidders, and most of it posts as nationwide work.
