demonstrate that they meet the standards to be deemed a “Responsible Proposer” as defined in Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 125-247-0640(1)(F)(i) through (v). Access to this rule can be achieved at the following website:" http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/rules/OARS_100/OAR_125/125_247.html

Oregon uses the Oregon Procurement Information Network (ORPIN) as the mechanism to secure the documents necessary to apply.

The URL for ORPIN is http://orpin.oregon.gov/open.dll/welcome

The introductory page states:

"ORPIN provides access to procurement and contracting information issued by the State of Oregon, local governments, and political subdivisions. You may browse the site as an anonymous user and see summary information. Select the "Browse" option in the left navigation bar to explore these capabilities.

If you have not yet registered you may register now by selecting the "Supplier Registration" option in the left navigation bar. If you are already registered you may log on now by selecting the "Logon to ORPIN" option in the left navigation bar."

The ORPIN Help Desk is incredibly helpful to understand how to navigate this system. For further assistance please call the ORPIN Help Desk at (503) 378-4642.
