On March 14, the UCSF AIM Procurement and Economic Impact Programs presented as an exhibitor at the How to Do Business with the State of California workshop at the SF Permit Center in San Francisco. The event had a great turnout, with a long line of businesses awaiting to meet with UCSF.  

UCSF is a reciprocity partner of the State of California by way of the systemwide Small Business (SB) First Program, a program that helps streamline the procurement process for SB and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE)-certified businesses. See more details here. We continue to strive for 25 percent diverse spending on addressable procurement opportunities where possible.  

If you are looking for a certified business and need more support, please contact Marliz Copado with the procurement opportunity. For suppliers who need additional support with certification, please connect them with our local allies NORCAL APEX Accelerator and Small Business Development Center SF.
