Systemwide Procurement
We develop and implement systemwide supply chain strategies and policies that leverage UC's vast purchasing power to optimize University spend.
UC Procurement uses strategic and collaborative sourcing methods supported by technology and data analysis to optimize spend across the UC system, creating significant savings for the University.
UC Procurement partners with campus procurement teams to standardize policies, practices and agreements to make it easier to do business with the University. OUR STORY
