Steelcase Performance Standards

The University of California finalized a new contract with Steelcase, Inc. This page provides a summary of the standards used to measure Steelcase's performance.

Note: Use Marketplace, UCSD's online buying site to order Steelcase from BKM or STORE if your department has access.

  • If you're not sure that your department has access, check the list of departments and representatives (Excel) to find out.
  • If your department is listed, you can go directly to Marketplace and start shopping. If you can't find the item you want, contact the UC Call Center, (877) 722-9090 for assistance.
  • If your department doesn't have access to Marketplace, see Getting Set Up in Marketplace.
