Contractors/Grantees wishing to do business with the State of Oregon must register with the Secretary of State’s Corporation Division.

Certification Office of Business Inclusion and Diversity - The State of Oregon works to ensure that minority, women-owned, and emerging small businesses (MWESB) have equal opportunity to compete for the state’s business. Learn more about COBID and getting certified as an MWESB supplier.

Do business with OHCS

Oregon businesses, with one or more employee, that bid or propose on public contracts must provide proof that they've received training on Oregon's pay equity laws. Click here to learn more about how to get trained and certified.

ATTENTION VENDORS: The Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN) is being replaced on July 1, 2021, with a new eProcurement system called OregonBuys. When the switch happens, suppliers must be registered in OregonBuys to continue doing business with the state. Existing accounts will not transfer over and suppliers are encouraged to register now. Visit the OregonBuys webpage for registration instructions or to learn more. Registration is easy and free.

Visit this link and click on the blue "Register" button in the top right-hand corner of the webpage to get started: https://oregonbuys.gov/bso/
