- Legacy punchout catalogs will be retired in phases.
- By January 2027 (target), MyMarketplace will become the primary catalog purchasing experience.
What is Staying the Same?
- BearBuy remains UCSF's purchasing system.
- Requisition and approval processes remain unchanged.
- Procurement policies remain unchanged.
- Supplier contracts and pricing remain unchanged.
- Non-catalog purchasing processes remain unchanged.
