Implementation Plan
According to ORS279A.159,
any person conducting a procurement or administering a contract for a
state contracting agency must have adequate education, training,
professional experience, or a combination thereof, by December 31, 2018.
We are implementing a new procurement training program to meet these requirements. Key elements include:
- Developing an Oregon Procurement Body of Knowledge (OPBoK)
- Developing and implementing training components for:
- Any person that administers a contract.
- Any person that conducts a procurement.
- Updating the statewide procurement training policy and certification procedure.
- Creating a strategic plan for 2019 and beyond.
What is the Oregon Procurement Body of Knowledge? (OPBoK)
This document lists all knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) that
anyone conducting a procurement or administering a contract must
possess when conducting a procurement for a state agency in Oregon.
- The OPBoK forms the basis for procurement Learning Event (LE) learning objective development.
- The OPBoK indicates which level in the state certification process the KSA applies.
The OPBok is a dynamic document that is subject to change based on emergent procurement-related legislation or rulemaking.
