The Review Process and Steps for Requesting a New Supplier
When the need for a new supplier arises, the process starts with submitting a Request New Supplier via the CSUBUY system. This request undergoes a two-tier review, initially by Cal Poly's Campus Supplier Management and then by the CSU Supplier Management team. Once approved at both levels, a supplier profile is created in the CSUBUY system. The user who requested the supplier will be notified as soon as the new supplier is ready for shopping, allowing you to continue with your shopping needs.
