Purchasing

The College of Chemistry has delegated authority to commit university funds using the BearBuy Purchase Order System or the Blucard Program. The Campus Shared Services purchasing team offers full procurement services, which include low value purchase orders up to $4,999, high value purchase requisition documentation assistance and preparation, encumbrance maintenance, and new BFS vendor ID creation.

Most orders up to $4,999 will be place within 24 hours if they include the proper name, address, phone number of the vendor, a valid chart string, and description and quantity of item to be ordered. Other orders, which include precursors and essential chemicals require Central Procurement approval and can take up to 15 days to be placed.

All College of Chemistry purchasing transactions must comply with the University of California Business and Finance Bulletin - BUS 43 - Material Management, which can be viewed on the UCOP website at http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/policies/bfb/bus43.html.

For additional information, check the financial forms section of the Forms, Documents, and Procedures webpage.
