OAR 291-160-0160: Electronic Opening and Tiebreaker Processes

For any procurement conducted under these rules, DOC may elect to not hold Openings or tiebreaker events in-person. DOC, in its sole discretion and in lieu of an in-person Opening or tiebreaker event, may provide electronic options for viewing Opening or tiebreaker events, including, but not limited to, “real time” Microsoft Teams, or any other virtual electronic media available for the Opening or tiebreaker event. To the extent practicable, DOC will publish electronic Openings or tiebreaker events in the Solicitation Document or as an Addendum on the electronic procurement system approved by the State Chief Procurement Officer, or will directly notify Offerors in standing using other means available to DOC, or both.
