We are excited to announce the launch of Graphite Connect, UCSF’s new supplier registration and onboarding tool. Graphite Connect represents a major improvement in the supplier registration process, streamlining the onboarding of new suppliers who provide goods and/or services to UCSF. With Graphite Connect, UCSF is replacing forms and email-based supplier data collection processes for new Purchase Order (PO) suppliers. Supply Chain Management will launch Graphite Connect on February 26, 2026. Scope of Graphite ConnectGraphite Connect is a secure, cloud-based supplier registration platform designed to modernize UCSF’s supplier onboarding process. Initially, Graphite Connect will be used only for new suppliers that provide goods and/or services to UCSF, which are considered Purchase Order (PO)-based suppliers. Profiles for legacy suppliers will continue to be maintained using the existing forms-based data collection process until further notice. Additionally, profiles for payment-only payees, such as suppliers used for Payment Request Form Activity Types, will continue to be requested and maintained using the existing forms-based process until further notice. Please note: Forms to request new suppliers who provide goods and/or services to UCSF (PO-based) will no longer be accepted after March 6, 2026. ResourcesTo learn more about how this change impacts campus departments and how to invite a new supplier, visit Graphite Connect for Departments. Suppliers who are invited to register should refer to Graphite Connect for Suppliers.
