We are full of anticipation as July 1 is almost upon us! After months of planning and preparation, the Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN) will be replaced with OregonBuys on July 1. This will mark the completion of the first phase in this two-phased project.
ORPIN is now in archive mode and remains available for historical purposes. Starting July 1, all state procurement activity will be processed through OregonBuys and staff will use the OregonBuys Marketplace to browse statewide price agreements.
We want to thank the army of agency staff and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (OrCPP) members who partnered with us to get to this point. You've helped with testing, participated in core teams, stepped up as organization administrators, sent in templates, and attended training. We wouldn't be replacing ORPIN without your collaboration - thank you for helping make OregonBuys a success!
OregonBuys: One unified system — modernizing state procurement
Transitioning to a new system isn't always easy. We've created a couple of new web pages to help with the switch to OregonBuys.
Visit the new web pages below to access self-paced training modules along with instruction guides and a terminology crosswalk. These resources are free and available to you anytime (Workday Learning account required):

Suppliers, it's never too late to register for a supplier account in OregonBuys.
