Your Dean's Office Purchasing team is here to ensure your order requests are in compliance with UCLA policy, provide guidance on vendor selection and purchasing policy, and validate that your purchase and reimbursement requests are complete prior to submission to Corporate Financial Services for transaction.
Who are We? Check out our Organizational Chart to meet the team!
If you are a Dean's Office employee or customer, all purchase and reimbursement requests must be submitted through the Procurement Portal.
Place your orders in advance. Allow 5 business days for purchase requests under $5,000, 4 weeks for purchases over $5,000 but less than $500,000, and 12 weeks for purchases over $500,000.
Submit all required information. Non-food & entertainment orders above $5,000 will require that a quote from the vendor be submitted to the Procurement Portal before services are rendered. If a quote is not submitted, the order will be considered an unauthorized purchase. Follow our how-to guides below to ensure you submit all required documentation to avoid delays.
