Becoming a UCOP supplier

In order to provide fair, open and efficient opportunities for all companies interested in doing business with the University of California, we ask all potential vendors to pre-qualify for any bidding or supplier activity. We can use the information provided to track supplier activity, to measure progress against goals for small business outreach efforts, to shorten the administrative timeline toward a mutually beneficial agreement, and to monitor compliance with required state and federal codes.

  • A completed business information form (select appropriate form):
  • A Certificate of Insurance, if providing a service, with limits in accordance with UC Policy BUS-63
