Foreign suppliers requiring set up in BearBuy should complete the appropriate IRS Form W-8 and submit to vendors@ucsf.edu. The IRS Form W-8BEN is used for foreign individuals and the IRS Form W-8BEN-E is used for foreign entities.
Effective immediately, we are implementing a Substitute Form W-8BEN-E. The new form has fewer pages and will save time for the supplier and complies with the IRS requirements.
The most recent version of all Supplier Registration forms can be found on the
Supply Chain Management website. Please discontinue using previous versions as they will no longer be accepted.
3. America To Go Departmental Tastings
There are 119 unique Caterers/Restaurants available in the America To Go (ATG) Punch-out today, all offering a variety of cuisines - American, Pizza, Spanish, Chinese, Italian and much more!
With the continuous expansion of caterers/restaurants available in the Punch-out, America To Go would like to expand the number of departmental tastings offered to UCSF.
What are departmental tastings?
Tastings set up with a UCSF department/unit where ATG brings in sample items from a selected group of America To Go caterers/restaurants for the department to taste from. An ATG representative works directly with the department and pulls together caterers/restaurants for the tasting based on the department's current and future event needs and event types.
What to expect:
Meet and Greet selected caterers/restaurants
Menu tastings based on department's needs (food quality, presentation, etc.)
More information on customizable orders
If you would like to participate in a tasting session, please feel free to contact Audrey Emmer from America To Go at audrey.emmer@americatogo.com.
