Project update

As 2021 ends, we're doing some reflecting on project accomplishments from the last 12 months. We know that each success was possible because of collaboration with partners like you. We’re especially proud of the July 2021 transition from ORPIN to OregonBuys. This transition took an immense effort from state agencies and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (OrCPP) members — and we want to say how truly grateful we are for your partnership!

Here's how the project team engaged with you in 2021:

The month of December found the project team and agency volunteers concluding enterprise process designs and process validations work. We also collected Wave 1 agency user templates and continued training course development.

We hope the holiday season brings peaceful moments and beautiful memories to you and yours! We look forward to working with you in the new year.
