The lowest procurement burden is applied to items purchased through the eBuy Marketplace (3%)! Other methods can vary from 11% up to 25% in procurement burden.
eBuy Marketplace is continually expanding to include more vendors.
When you return an item, the restocking fee can be as high as 30%. Make sure you have the correct product number and description.
Our mission is to provide effective and efficient procurement services and solutions to the Laboratory while sustaining the highest level of stewardship. Our vision is to be a trusted partner, providing exceptional procurement solutions contributing to science that changes the world. Our goal is to dramatically improve customer satisfaction and engagement while adhering to applicable requirements.
Before making a request, please take the time to choose the proper procurement channel (eBuy, ePro, or P-Card). Not only will this expedite your order and prevent any delays, but not doing so creates a danger of an unauthorized commitment. If you have any questions about which procurement channel is best, contact Lamar Moore at 510-486-6389
Contract Agreements: Only those who have delegated Procurement authority may enter into contracts, modify contracts, terminate contracts or contractually bind Berkeley Lab for the purchase of goods or services.
Unauthorized Procurement: Do not make a commitment (signed or verbal) without prior approval! Unauthorized procurement is subject to disciplinary action and you may be personally responsible for payment of charges incurred. See HERE (scroll down to the Unauthorized Procurement section).
Examples of unauthorized procurement include but are not limited to:
Services: Executing repairs on campus housed equipment without securing a Berkeley Lab P.O. in advance
Goods: Placing an order with a vendor without going through the MSD and/or Berkeley Lab procurement process
Contracts: Signing contracts on behalf of Berkeley Lab

Berkeley, Ca 94720
Remember, you can amend all billing details pre-populated on the payment pages before you request an invoice for any and all publication vendors.
