Purchasing Services
Small Business Development
It is the policy of the University of California, consistent
with State and federal law, to ensure that all business enterprises
have equal access to business contracting opportunities at
the University.
Small Business should, like all potential suppliers to the
University, complete the appropriate forms to pre-register
with UCOP (see: Becoming a UCOP supplier).
Small Business owners may wish to familiarize themselves
with the U.C. Business policies governing the purchase of
goods and services, particularly as they apply to Small Businesses.
UCOP Business and Finance Bulletin 43 (BUS-43) is relevant
to suppliers and potential suppliers to the University. Small
Businesses will be especially interested in BUS-43, Part
5, though it is the recommendation of the University to become
familiar with the entire policy (see: Policies
and Procedures).
Once a company is pre-registered as described in Becoming
a UCOP Supplier, that company is eligible to bid on
available University business. The University posts Requests
for Proposals (RFPs), Requests for Quotations (RFQs), and
similar bidding opportunities at http://www.ucop.edu/purchserv/rfp/welcome.html
