University intellectual property includes all uses of the school name, including Berkeley and California, as well as all logos, landmarks, statues, buildings, departmental names, pictures, Cal Band recordings, references to the University like ASUC, Lair of the Bear, CAA, resource labs, etc. A list of current licensees has been provided below for your convenience.

Coming Soon - UC Systemwide Audio Visual Contract Awards
|
|
Supply Chain Management is currently working with Takara Bio USA on implementing a catalog for the future.

|
Fast Track Approval Update
|
|
As of April 14, 2019, all low-value catalog (under $5K) and non-catalog (under $1K) orders that are filled out correctly are auto-approved the same day. Since Fast Track Approvals were implemented purchase order turn-around times have improved significantly. In the last 30 days same day completed orders improved by 62% over FY18. Currently, 67% of ALL BearBuy orders are completed by the next day. We encourage you to use the BearBuy Catalogs for quicker turnaround times, cart to purchase order dispatch.

Splitting COA At Header Level Vs. Line Level
Splitting COA at the Header level will apply the spit to all lines on the PO.
Spltting COA by line level allows you to customize COA percentage allocated to that specific line. BEST PRACTICE for Subaward: Put line 1 COA at the header and then edit each line with their own unique COA. For any questions on how to split a COA please contact your regional group:
