The Amount-based PO, Professional/Personal/Consulting Services, After the Fact PO and Meeting & Entertainment Payment Request forms in BearBuy have been updated to align with University of California Regents Policy 5402. These updates ensure compliance with UCSF’s internal service delivery standards.

Under this policy, certain services -such as janitorial, moving, security, valet parking, and full-service catering - must be performed by UCSF employees whenever available. If UCSF resources are unavailable and an exception is needed, departments must follow the updated process and submit the appropriate documentation for HR approval before submitting a BearBuy request.
