Systemwide Procurement
Learn how to work with the UC at our new website: procurement.ucop.edu
The University of California (UC) welcomes suppliers interested in doing business with us and strives to provide fair, open and efficient opportunities for all companies. UC Procurement is the centralized procurement/supply chain hub for the entire University of California system. We develop and implement systemwide supply chain strategies and policies that leverage UC's vast purchasing power to optimize University spend.
Suppliers must register with CalUsource, our e-procurement platform, to participate in UC sourcing events. In CalUsource, suppliers can participate in systemwide, multi-campus, or campus-specific bidding activities.
To view sourcing events and bid opportunities: Public Bid Site
(Note: purchasing for the Office of the President is done by Local Procurement in the UCOP Business Resource Center.)
