What is the purpose of the Antitrust Review Program?
To enhance the fiscal health of the State of Ohio, its agencies, governmental entities and political subdivisions through a structured and proactive plan of periodic on site reviews aimed at identification, remediation and prevention of anticompetitive activities adversely affecting the public sector. This Program is developed with the recognition that anticompetitive schemes such as bid rigging and price fixing are often carefully and cleverly concealed, so that even the most astute of public purchasing officials could have little chance of detecting the activity in the ordinary course of business.
