Benefits of the agreements & ordering

  • Net contract pricing (no freight, hazardous material, dry ice, or other charges)
  • Volume sales generated when your department buys from these suppliers make it easier for the university to negotiate even better prices when contracts are renewed.
  • UCR's eProcurement site, Oracle Procurement, offers one-stop shopping via online punchout catalogs featuring many goods and services negotiated through these agreements. 
    • Note: Cell Signaling is not a punchout supplier in Oracle Procurement; purchases can be made through a request form.
