SPO Online Decommissioning & Transition to NDBuys

The North Dakota State Procurement Office (SPO), operating under the Office of Management and Budget, is issuing a decommissioning and transition notice for its SPO Online procurement platform, which will be discontinued effective February 28, 2026, with all future solicitation activities transitioning to NDBuys, North Dakota's new procurement system. This is not a traditional procurement solicitation but rather a platform migration notification affecting all current vendors and suppliers utilizing SPO Online. The primary deliverable is the successful transition of all vendor accounts and procurement activities from the legacy SPO Online system to NDBuys. Key objectives include ensuring continuity of access to North Dakota's procurement opportunities and modernizing the procurement infrastructure to a more efficient platform. Vendors without an ND Login ID must create accounts through the NDBuys Welcome Page using the email address associated with their SPO Online access, while those with existing NDLogin IDs can proceed directly to NDBuys. The deadline for this notice is March 31, 2026. Vendors requiring assistance with the transition may contact support at ndbuys@nd.gov or 701-328-2740.

This notice does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, or specific contract award values, as it serves as a platform transition notification rather than a competitive solicitation. The document emphasizes that vendors must use the correct email address associated with their SPO Online accounts to maintain uninterrupted access to procurement opportunities in the new NDBuys system. No evaluation criteria, pricing terms, or funding details are provided in this decommissioning notice. The transition represents a shift to modern procurement technology infrastructure designed to improve efficiency and vendor accessibility. All future North Dakota state and local procurement activities will be conducted exclusively through NDBuys following the platform discontinuation.
