About this file

This is a Supplier Registration Guide for OregonBuys, the State of Oregon's electronic procurement system administered by Periscope Holdings. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for vendors seeking to register and conduct business with the State of Oregon. To participate in state and local contract opportunities, suppliers must register through the OregonBuys portal at https://oregonbuys.gov/bso/ by providing required information including Tax ID (EIN or SSN), company name, email address, and country of origin. The registration process requires completion of multiple tabs including Company Information, Administrator, Address, Terms, Categories & Certifications, and Commodity/Service Codes. Registered vendors will receive bid and solicitation notices via the email address designated during registration and must respond to opportunities through the OregonBuys platform. The system requires vendors to identify relevant NIGP commodity codes corresponding to their business services to receive appropriate opportunity notifications. First-time users receive a temporary password via email from donotreply@oregonbuys.gov and must change this password upon initial login while ensuring they do not register for the Periscope S2G service during the setup process.

The registration process is free and available to domestic and foreign vendors, though foreign vendors must provide a U.S. Tax ID or foreign Tax ID if a U.S. ID is unavailable. Once registration is complete and the account becomes active, vendors gain full access to solicit opportunities and respond to state bids. Multiple users may be added to a single company account after the Seller Administrator establishes the primary account through the "Maintain Users on this Account" function. Vendors requiring technical assistance during registration can contact Periscope Holdings at suppliersupport@periscopeholdings.com or by telephone at 1-855-800-5046. The guide emphasizes the critical importance of clicking "Save & Continue" after completing each registration step to ensure proper account setup and system configuration for conducting business with the State of Oregon.
