Connecting with your Buyer
Each UCSF campus department is assigned a Supply Chain Management (SCM) "buyer" to assist with high value and restricted orders. A buyer (also known as a Procurement Analyst) primarily reviews BearBuy purchase requisitions for compliance and assists the campus department with procurement functions, such as competitive bids or contract review/signature. The buyer is delegated signature authority by the UCSF Chief Procurement Officer to execute agreements (contracts) committing the University to a purchase of goods and/or services.*

*Only individuals with properly delegated authority may execute agreements committing the University to a purchase of goods and/or services. Individuals with properly delegated authority are issued a signed “Delegation Letter” from the UCSF Chief Procurement Officer indicating they are authorized to execute agreements. Departmental staff and principal investigators/faculty have very likely not received such a delegation and are not authorized to sign such agreements.
