SPO+Online+Decommission+Draft.docx

This is a decommissioning and transition notice issued by the North Dakota State Procurement Office (SPO), operating under the Office of Management and Budget. The document notifies vendors and suppliers of the discontinuation of the SPO Online procurement platform effective February 28, with all future solicitation activities transitioning to NDBuys, North Dakota's new procurement system. The notice provides instructions for vendors based on their current login status: those without an ND Login ID must visit the NDBuys Welcome Page, select "Create an account," complete required fields using the email address associated with their SPO Online access, and subsequently use their NDLogin ID to access NDBuys. Vendors who already possess an NDLogin ID linked to their email address can proceed directly to the NDBuys Welcome Page, enter their credentials, and access their homepage.

The transition represents a shift to a more modern and efficient procurement platform. No specific contract awards, pricing terms, or funding details are outlined in this document, as it serves primarily as a notification and instructional notice for platform migration. Vendors requiring assistance during the transition process are directed to contact the support team via email at ndbuys@nd.gov or by telephone at 701-328-2740. The document emphasizes the importance of using the correct email address for account creation to ensure uninterrupted access to procurement opportunities in the new system.
