On August 23, the Amazon Business punch-out catalog was launched in BearBuy. The Supply Chain Management business systems team worked closely with Amazon to ensure that the certifications we recognize in supplier diversity are visible when making a purchase.

Certified suppliers in Amazon Business feature a note under the seller credential (image 1) and include an organization preferred admin note (image 2).

UCSF cannot currently count Amazon Business purchases toward our certified small and diverse spend goals, but every purchase from these contributes to our community-focused mission. We encourage you to purchase from certified small and diverse business wherever possible to support supplier diversity and the Anchor Institution Mission.

Please continue to use the Supplier Diversity tools in BearBuy to source individual certified small and diverse suppliers and make your purchases count toward our spend goals.
