Insurance Requirements

UCR policy requires all suppliers doing business with the University to carry insurance

Certificates of Insurance: The University requires contractors, vendors, and suppliers who provide goods and services to the University to have insurance and to provide the University with a certificate of insurance as evidence of coverage. Insurance certificates issued to the University should name "The Regents of the University of California" as an additional insured as indicated in the University of California Terms and Conditions. Detailed information regarding UC insurance requirements can be found in the University of California Business and Finance Bulletins under BUS 63.

PO suppliers with valid insurance certificates must upload their certificate in the 'PO Supplier Business Classifications/Certs' section of their supplier profile. Learn more here. Also send a copy of the certificate of insurance* to uc@instracking.com or mail to:

The Regents of the University of California

In support of small businesses that do not possess the requisite insurance coverage as specified in Article 9 of University of California Terms and Conditions, the University has a program available through Campus Connexions to assist. For a small fee of $750, suppliers can purchase "Vendor Liability (Procurement)" coverage in the required amounts. This coverage protects the vendor/contractor for one year while working at any UC facility.

The University’s insurance requirements depend on the scope of work and associated risks. A UCR professional buyer will contact you if additional coverage, such as Professional Liability Insurance, may be required based on the specific scope of work or activity. The standard minimum insurance requirements are:

Commercial General Liability Each Occurrence Products/Completed Operations Aggregate Personal and Advertising Injury General Aggregate	$1,000,000 $2,000,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000
