Oregon's Final Disparity Study Findings Virtual Event - Friday December 15th

---

Dear Interested Parties,

This will be our last virtual event for 2023- please join us!

The DAS PS Office of Procurement Equity has published the final 2023 Oregon Disparity Study.

The State of Oregon commissioned BBC Research & Consulting to evaluate and measure barriers Oregon businesses face as part of the state government's contract and procurement processes. The report will help the state better understand outcomes in its contracting and procurement processes and help identify the next steps to address any substantial disparities. 

In the study, BBC analyzed $3.2 billion worth of contracts and procurements the Executive Branch agencies awarded over five years – from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2022. The report details each analysis's methodology, results, and recommended actions for the state.

Here is the link to the published 2023 Oregon Disparity Study and the high-level final presentation on the study.

You will hear information regarding the study and after the presentation there will be time to ask questions and share your input on ways the state can improve its procurement processes to better serve all Oregonians.
