About this file

The document is a Supplier Registration Guide for OregonBuys, a procurement platform powered by Periscope for the State of Oregon. The guide provides comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for suppliers to register on the OregonBuys system, which is now mandatory for receiving bid/solicitation notices, responding to opportunities, and conducting business with the state. The registration process involves navigating to https://oregonbuys.gov/bso/, creating an account with tax ID, company information, and administrator details, and carefully following a multi-step setup that includes setting up login credentials, entering business categories and commodity codes, and confirming system terms.

Key registration guidelines emphasize several critical points: suppliers must ensure they do not check the S2G (Periscope S2G) registration box during initial setup, use a valid email address for notifications, enter accurate company information matching their W-9, and select appropriate commodity codes for bid opportunities. Support is available through suppliersupport@periscopeholdings.com or by calling 1-855-800-5046. The system allows for multiple user access once the Seller Administrator's account is established, and suppliers can add additional users through the "Maintain Users on this Account" feature. After completing registration, suppliers will receive further communication about next steps in the adoption process.
