Uniform Guidance Implementation
Uniform Guidance (UG) is the set of rules and regulations that governs the administration of federally funded projects during their lifespan. The bulk of Uniform Guidance went into effect on December 26, 2014, but much of the guidelines that impact University Procurement Services were delayed. To be compliant with UG standards, PSCS has implemented these guidelines effective July 1, 2018. This implementation is a requirement for UCSC to remain eligible to receive federal funds.

If you are involved in the purchase of goods and services for sponsored projects, please review the recently posted guidelines on Uniform Guidance. The UCOP Source Selection & Price Reasonableness Justification Form is to be completed by the requesting Department and attached to the CruzBuy requisition for all federally funded purchases greater than or equal to $10,000.
