On January 3, all One Workplace (OWP) campus deliveries transitioned to their third-party partner Corporate Interior Solutions (CIS), a small, minority-owned business. This “Tier II” pilot program is part of the UCSF Anchor Institution Initiative’s push to create the broadest opportunity for all qualified suppliers.  

OWP and UCSF worked together to ensure the order/delivery process would be the same and there will be no additional expense. This applies to all OWP campus onsite and at-home deliveries. All deliveries through CIS will be considered as Tier II diversity-owned spend, which will be captured by volume and reported on a quarterly basis. 

We’d love to hear your feedback on your interactions with CIS. Please fill out this brief survey. 

Diverse businesses can drive economic growth and make a significant contribution to our local communities. The UCSF Anchor Procurement Team encourages departments to use small, local, diverse businesses. 

If you would like support in your effort to include diverse, small, and local business in your purchasing or want to join the Anchors Away Team, please contact Marliz Copado.
