Oregon Metro

Metro is the regional government for the Oregon portion of the Portland metropolitan area. It is the only directly elected regional government and metropolitan planning organization in the United States. Metro works with communities, businesses and residents in the Portland metropolitan area to chart a wise course for the future while protecting the things we love about this place.

Metro serves more than 1.5 million people in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. The agency's boundary encompasses Portland, Oregon and 23 other cities – from the Columbia River in the north to the bend of the Willamette River near Wilsonville, and from the foothills of the Coast Range near Forest Grove to the banks of the Sandy River at Troutdale.

Why contract with Metro?

If you operate a minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned or emerging small business, you can tap into opportunities to compete for contracts to serve Metro – from the Oregon Zoo to the Portland Expo Center.

Metro awards millions of dollars in contracts for products and services each year and actively solicits bids and proposals from businesses that are certified by the State of Oregon's Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID).
