The Statement of Work (SOW) is required for:
- Any purchase of Professional, Consulting or Personal Services
- Purchases of common services that involve multiple phases, timelines, and/or milestones
- Purchases of goods, software or equipment with a service component (e.g. installation, training, maintenance) involving multiple phases, timelines and/or milestones
The UCSF SOW should be completed by the end-user department requesting the services. Supplier input may be needed to help complete it. When the UCSF SOW is complete, please submit the unsigned UCSF SOW with your BearBuy form.
Note: Using a supplier’s SOW template may require negotiation by an Supply Chain Management (SCM) buyer and delay your order. It is not recommended.
