Oregon Concrete & Aggregate Producers Association

What Oregon Concrete & Aggregate Producers Association does

Oregon Concrete & Aggregate Producers Association (OCAPA) is a private nonprofit trade association founded in 1967 and headquartered at 737 13th Street SE in Salem, Oregon. OCAPA represents aggregate producers, ready-mixed concrete producers, mining operators, and associate suppliers (admixtures, equipment, professional services, contractors) across Oregon, with selected programs extending into Southwest Washington. The association's core offerings are advocacy at local, state, and federal levels; certification training in partnership with the American Concrete Institute (ACI Field Testing Technician) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (Quality Control Technician); signature events including the 59-year-old Annual Meeting & Conference, the Winter Workshop, and the 46-year-old Excellence in Concrete Awards; and resource libraries spanning technology, sustainability, health and safety, environmental compliance, and legislative tracking.

OCAPA generates revenue through three primary streams: recurring membership dues from Producer and Associate members, registration and sponsorship fees for events and conferences, and certification program fees (e.g., Concrete Control Technician full course at $775 for members and $1,000 for non-members; ACI Field Testing Technician from $105 to $815). Go-to-market is community-led: members are acquired and retained through advocacy outcomes, committee participation, regional meetings, and tangible benefits such as SAIF workers compensation discounts (11% premium discount) and Flyer's Fleet fuel savings (2-5 cents per gallon). Distribution is a hybrid of direct enterprise engagement with producer and associate member companies, self-serve website access to technical resources, and in-person event delivery.

Underlying technology is non-proprietary: OCAPA distributes Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) tools, technical guides, and specifications developed with national partners such as the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association and Portland Cement Association, rather than operating as a software or platform company. The association is governed by a Board of Directors, committees including a Legislative Committee that meets every other week during Oregon sessions, and a small staff of 1-10 employees. Named member participants include Heidelberg Materials North America, CalPortland, Knife River Corp. Northwest, Hooker Creek Construction Materials, RiverBend Materials, and Wilsonville Concrete Products, indicating a membership base of large enterprise concrete and aggregate operators across the state.

Regional players

• California Construction and Industrial Materials Association (CalCIMA): State-level trade association for aggregate, concrete, and industrial materials producers in California. Operates in a similar advocacy + education model across a larger but adjacent West Coast market.
• Idaho Mineral Industry Association: Regional trade association representing Idaho's mineral and aggregate producers. Functions as a peer in the same Pacific Northwest mining/aggregate trade association space, with comparable advocacy and member-service model.

Broad incumbents

• National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA): National trade association representing the ready-mixed concrete industry. OCAPA partners with NRMCA on EPD verification and LEED V4 support; broader in scope and serves as OCAPA's national-level advocacy and sustainability counterpart.
• National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA): National association for the aggregates industry and a core OCAPA partner for advocacy and best practices. Operates at federal level with member companies that overlap heavily with OCAPA's Oregon producers.
• Portland Cement Association (PCA): National association for cement manufacturers and a key OCAPA partner for EPD tools and sustainability programming. Provides technical resources and represents the upstream supplier side of OCAPA's value chain.
• American Concrete Institute (ACI): National standards-setting body for concrete design and construction. OCAPA co-delivers ACI Field Testing Technician certification, making ACI a direct counterpart in the technical certification market.
• American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA): National association representing concrete pavement contractors and suppliers, including a Northwest Chapter that OCAPA partners with. Comparable in association structure but specialized to the pavement segment.

Emerging players

• Tilt-Up Concrete Association: Industry association promoting tilt-up concrete construction methods. Listed as an OCAPA partner; comparable niche trade association structure but focused on a specific construction technique rather than statewide industry representation.

Others

• Associated General Contractors (AGC): National construction industry association representing contractors. Listed as an OCAPA core partner for advocacy and industry education; comparable in its trade association structure but serves the buyer side rather than the supplier side.

Direct peers

• Washington Aggregates & Concrete Association: The state-level counterpart trade association for aggregate and ready-mix concrete producers in Washington. Directly comparable in mission, services (advocacy, certification, events), and member profile; one of OCAPA's named core strategic partners for Pacific Northwest coordination.
