Do Business with UCSF

  • Supplier completes & submits a UCSF Supplier Business Information Form (BIF)
  • Supplier business data is entered into UCSF Materiel Management Department’s Supplier Database within four weeks of receipt of completed form.
  • Small Business Program Unit is notified of procurement opportunities from UCSF buyers or other campus purchasers.
  • Small Business Program Unit searches the Supplier Database for all small businesses and related small business subsets* that can potentially provide the products and/or services the UCSF buyers or other campus purchaser requires. The contact information for the supplier is forwarded on the requesting purchaser.
  • After referrals are made, the inquiring UCSF buyer or other campus purchaser manages the process and is responsible for contacting selected suppliers for further information (i.e. Bid notification, RFP solicitation, Insurance issues, etc.).
  • Supplier completes a new UCSF Supplier Business Information Form (BIF) every three years or sooner if significant changes in business data occur (i.e. contact information, business structure, products/services, certification, references, etc.).
  • UCSF Materiel Management Department does not release UCSF buyers or other campus purchaser names and contact information to suppliers. However, the Small Business Program Unit works proactively to provide maximum practical opportunity to small businesses and their relevant subsets*.
  • Although having your business data in our supplier database does not guarantee that you will be contacted for business opportunities, it is a necessary step in our process and will increase the likelihood of being considered for business opportunities.
