The Department maintains for state agencies an electronic reporting system within ORPIN for reporting Personal Services Contracts. Each state agency that is not exempt from the Public Contracting Code must report in ORPIN or other Electronic Procurement System approved by the State Chief Procurement Officer each Personal Services Contract and Amendment.

Whenever a state agency pays more in a calendar year under a Personal Services Contract for services historically performed by state employees than the state agency would have paid to the state agency’s employees performing the same Work, the state agency must so report through ORPIN or other Electronic Procurement System approved by the State Chief Procurement Officer and include in the report a statement of justification for the greater costs, according to ORS 279A.140 (State procurement of goods and services)(2)(h)(A)(i).(3)
The Department must submit a report to the Legislature summarizing state agency Personal Services Contracts. This report must include the name of the state agency, the not-to-exceed amount of the Contracts, the name(s) of Contractor(s), the duration of Contract(s) and the basic purpose of the Contract(s). The report must also include the total dollar figure of all Personal Services Contracts for each fiscal year.(4)
The Department maintains an electronic file of Personal Services Contracts report forms for public review. The electronic file includes a justification statement, when applicable, and documentation of the selection process for each Contract.(5)
The state agency must keep in the Procurement File all Personal Services Contracts, justification statements, when applicable, documentation of the selection process for each Contract, and the report forms in compliance with OAR 166-300-0015 (Administrative Records)(7) and any other applicable laws.
