UC is committed to economic and socially-responsible procurement.

Whether you are already a vendor partner or are exploring working with us for the first time, you must register in CalUsource – the eSourcing platform used by the University of California.

Creating an account will give you access to the latest bids selected for inclusion in our Public Bid Site. Keep an eye on the platform for updates and new opportunities! Awardees must register separately in the campus procurement systems to complete transactions. Each campus may have unique requirements and processes.

NOTE: There is no UC preferred vendor list, nor is there one location to review all RFx events taking place at UC campuses or health centers. The Public Bid Site (part of CalUsource) is not exhaustive to all RFx and sourcing opportunities at UC.
