Project update

In November, we held two successful forums that brought together staff from across 36 state agencies. The first forum focused on Accounts Payable topics, and the second addressed Procurement topics. If you were unable to join us in person, please visit our website<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDAsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAxOTExMjIuMTMyODQyMDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5vcmVnb24uZ292L2Rhcy9PUkJ1eXMvUGFnZXMvZm9ydW1zLmFzcHgifQ.7do3juYtkAm7Qb6UJctqUAEK5lHQPgYeYb7vqs4UJF4/br/71765384421-l> to view the forum videos and materials.

Agency wave enrollment

[ocean wave]Soon state agencies will be able to self-select the wave in which they implement Phase 2  functionality of OregonBuys. In December, we'll send an announcement with advance notice of when the enrollment period will begin along with instructions. Designated Procurement Officers (DPOs) will make the official enrollment which will require collective agreement from Director or ABSD, IT, Procurement, and Finance.

What can ORCPP members expect?

During Phase 1 when ORPIN is replaced with OregonBuys, Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP) members will be able to search Statewide Price Agreements and post solicitations. At the same time, we'll be working with a select group of ORCPP members to pilot additional functionality. During Phase 2, the added functionality will become available to all ORCPP members. Added functionality includes: on-line receipt of responses from vendors and award/posting results.
