  • Counsel vendors on how to do business with UCSF.
  • Provides key campus buying personnel with vendor source materials in the form of directories and source lists.
  • Acts as the liaison between small business vendors and campus buyers, referring vendors to the procurement specialists as appropriate.

Allow four weeks for processing your submitted Business Information Form. Information on your company will be entered into appropriate vendor data systems and can then be made available to campus buyers. This is not in lieu of marketing to the campus.

 

Further, Federal Contracts above $500,000.00 require the placement of a specified proportion of contract expenditures with such enterprises. To that specific end, UCSF has established a Small Business Diversity Program.
