January and February, the Project Team held kickoff meetings with large and medium-sized agency core teams. We’re now preparing for next steps of holding core team orientations. To be efficient, we're pairing agencies together based on business similarities,
size, and geographical location. We’ve drafted a pairings list that will be presented to Designated Procurement Officers (DPOs) and then shared on our project website agency resources page. Please email the Project Team at
<a href="mailto:oregonbuys.info@oregon.gov" target="_blank" title="email address">
