Graphite Connect is now live as UCSF’s online supplier registration platform, supporting the onboarding of new PO-based suppliers and streamlining supplier data collection and validation. 

What This Means for You  

All new suppliers who provide goods and/or services to UCSF must be invited to complete registration in Graphite Connect. Once invited, new PO-based suppliers securely submit required onboarding information—including tax information, banking details and supporting documentation for ACH or wire payment methods—and a general liability Certificate of Insurance.  

Action Needed 

After you submit a supplier request in Graphite, it is reviewed and approved by Supplier Registration, and an invitation is sent to the supplier. Please remind your supplier to promptly accept and complete their Graphite invitation. Unopened invitations and incomplete registrations are the most common causes of onboarding delays. Timely completion helps keep onboarding on track.
