On December 5, 2023, UCSF staff were given access to use their Procurement Card (P-Card) for purchases in the UCSF Amazon Business account using a separate portal outside of BearBuy. An added benefit, P-Card holders also can buy gift cards in Amazon Business.

What do you do if you don’t have a P-Card? SCM encourages departments to apply for a P-Card to use in the Amazon Business P-Card portal, as well as other low-value and low-risk goods and services.

The P-Card is a University credit card issued by U.S. Bank that enables timely purchases of business related, low-value goods (under $5,000) and low-risk services. It provides a convenient and fast payment to suppliers that accept credit cards. UCSF pays U.S. Bank directly for the charges on P-Cards.

To learn more about P-Card and how to apply for one, visit SCM’s Card Programs webpage. For P-Card related inquiries, please contact [email protected]. 

You can find out more about using your P-Card in the Amazon portal here.
