Welcome to the website of the Procurement Department. Our goal is to provide assistance in purchasing goods and services for San Francisco State University through efficient management of the procurement process while ensuring compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and California State University policies.

Resources on how to navigate the Contracts module, can be found on the Chancellor's Office website.
Additionally, on a campus level, Fiscal Services terminated the contract for the “Imaging System”, a repository for Contracts, Purchase Orders and Insurance documents. The data from the Imaging System was migrated into OnBase. Contracts, purchase orders and insurance documents can now be found in OnBase.
To request OnBase access, visit the ServiceNow Portal and search for "OnBase" . Select "Request Account Access to OnBase" in the drop-down menu.
Upon completion of the service ticket, and only when connected to VPN, you may access OnBase with your new OnBase credentials using the web client, at https://onbase.sfsu.edu.
For training on how to retrieve data in OnBase, please contact Fiscal Affairs.
