How These Tools Work Together
Start by meeting with an APEX counselor to confirm eligibility, complete registrations, and secure any relevant small-business certifications. Once you are set up, create keywords and NIGP codes in OregonBuys so matching bid notices arrive in your inbox. Draw on your counselor’s guidance to shape proposals that meet agency requirements and shine on value, price, and compliance. Using these two free resources together helps you navigate public contracting efficiently and bid with confidence.
