Benefits 

  • Intentional focus on small, local and disadvantaged businesses by putting them first in our procurement process
  • Federal funding agencies encourage the use of state and locally sourced agreements. Using a UCOP Agreement supplier is a valid justification for your purchase as the source selection of the Sole Source Price Reasonableness Justification Form (SSPRJF)
  • Products and services valued at over $100,000, and purchased through UCOP Strategic Sourcing agreements, do not have to go through the competitive bid process, saving time and money
  • UCSD's online buying site, offers one-stop shopping via online catalogs, punchouts, and Labvia searches feature many of the goods and services negotiated through Strategic Sourcing contracts
  • Volume sales, generated when your department buys from Strategic Sourcing suppliers, make it easier for the University to negotiate even better prices when contracts are renewed
  • These vendors have agreed to, and signed common UC Terms and Conditions to protect us from any unforeseen issues that non-catalog vendors may present, such as no returns, unexpected or high shipping fees, no warranty, distributor fees, etc.
  • By narrow­ing the number of suppliers used in the business, “partnering” in alliances, and entering into mutually beneficial contracts, UC and its suppliers can work together to achieve standardization and improve­ments in cost, quality, and higher levels of custom­er-based service
