OregonBuys: One unified system — modernizing state procurement
Project update

Throughout December, the project team was busy preparing for activities related to agency wave enrollments, agency core team engagement, and replacing the Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN). We also kicked off a grants management subcommittee to explore the state's need for tracking grants.

As we look back over 2019, we know there's lots of ground to cover in the new year! We look forward to working with each of you in the coming months.

Core team information needed

[Team of people working together in an office setting]We’ll soon be scheduling kickoff meetings for agencies in the large and medium-sized categories. Agencies in the small category will be convened as a group at a later date.

We need large and medium-sized agencies to help identify names and contact information for their core team members: project coordinator, business analyst, procurement subject matter experts, accounting/budget subject matter experts, and organization administrator.

ORCPP members — start preparing now
[Woman planning at the computer]

OregonBuys will replace ORPIN in mid-2020. At that time, ORPIN will transition to read-only status and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP) members will use OregonBuys to search statewide price agreements and post solicitation notices moving forward.

We'll provide more details about timing and training in the new year. In the meantime, ORCPP members can start preparing for the transition by changing references in affected procurement code or policies from ORPIN to “the state's eProcurement system”.

________________________________
Outreach to suppliers

[Man talking on cellphone]Our vendor, Periscope Holdings, is actively engaging with suppliers asking them to register in OregonBuys. Every supplier needs an account to continue doing business with the state after ORPIN is replaced. Periscope has already sent a series of email messages asking suppliers to register and will now transition to contacting suppliers by phone.

In the coming weeks, Statewide Price Agreement holders will also be asked to upload their inventory catalogs into the system. These catalogs will allow state agencies to shop the Price Agreements online in the new OregonBuys Marketplace.
