Data Security & Business Terms

There are two important aspects of software purchasing: Data security and business terms. Both are required for any software purchase! Download the flowchart linked below to help you navigate the software purchasing process.

Step 1: Data security

  1. Check the UC ANR Portal for a listing of software that have passed Vendor Risk Assessments (VRA).
  2. If you see the software/app you'd like to purchase on that list, note the Agreement Number (and Reassessment Date), and proceed to Step 2: Business Terms.
    1. If there's no Agreement Number on the VRA list, search for the Purchase Agreement in Aggie Enterprise Procurement.
  3. If you don't see the software/app you'd like to purchase on that list, fill out the VRA Request Form. Depending on the case, IT may require an additional data security appendix, called an Appendix DS.
  4. If UC ANR IT does not approve the VRA for the software/app, follow their instructions or select a different software/app.

Step 2: Business Terms

  1. Download (or take screenshots of) Terms & Conditions or Terms of Service. Do not accept any Terms & Conditions on your own, even when using your P-Card!
  2. Submit a Purchase Request Form to BOC via email. Also include the following, based on the security protection level indicated on the VRA:

P1 or P2

For new software:

  1. Approved VRA and its expiration date
  2. Software Related Services Form

If repurchasing software (w/ active VRA):

a. Note that the VRA is active and include expiration date. 
b. Software Related Services Form

If repurchasing software (w/ expired VRA):

a. Renewed VRA and its expiration date
b. Software Related Services Form

P3 or P4

For new software:

a. Approved VRA and its expiration date
b. Software Related Services Form
c. Vendor Terms & Conditions 
(download or screenshot - do not accept the Terms & Conditions)

If repurchasing software (w/ active VRA):

a. Note that the VRA is active and include expiration date. 
b. Software Related Services Form
c. Vendor Terms & Conditions 
(download or screenshot - do not accept the Terms & Conditions)

If repurchasing software (w/ expired VRA):

a. Renewed VRA and its expiration date
b. Software Related Services Form
c. Vendor Terms & Conditions: (download or screenshot - do not accept the Terms & Conditions)

3. BOC will route the purchase request and a PO/No-Cost Agreement form to UC Davis Supply Chain Management. 

4. UC Davis signs off on the Terms & Conditions for your software/app and fills out a Purchase Order (PO). BOC will follow up with you once we hear back from UC Davis.

Note: If UC Davis does not approve the software/app, follow BOC's instructions, or select a different software/app.

For questions regarding the purchase of computer software/apps please contact the Business Operations Center.
