Procurement

UC ANR Procurement is a division dedicated to strengthening procurement expertise across UC ANR. UC ANR's statewide distribution creates a uniquely complex supply chain, and Procurement works to improve business processes, reduce costs, and identify value opportunities at all levels. UC ANR Procurement joined the UC Systemwide Procurement Leadership Council in 2024.
