The UC Asset Protection Program (UCAPP) provides an option for ongoing maintenance for multiple types of equipment.
What is the UC Asset Protection Program?
The University of California Asset Protection Program (UCAPP) is an option for new and ongoing maintenance and repair for your departmental equipment. UCAPP provides protection for electronic equipment for both preventative maintenance and repairs under one plan, saving money over buying separate maintenance plans.
The program provides repairs or maintenance of covered equipment in the following categories:
- Audio/Visual Equipment
- Clinical/Biomedical
- Diagnostic Imaging
- Information Technology Systems
- Laboratory/Scientific
- Mail Room Equipment
- Office Automation Equipment
- Radiology/X-ray
- Security/Fire Alarm Systems
- Telephone Systems
The program covers equipment of an electronic nature. The following equipment types are NOT typically covered, as they tend to be more mechanical in nature:
- Boilers
- Chillers
- Elevators and Escalators
- HVAC
- Lift Equipment
- Machinery
- Manufacturing Equipment
- Plant Operation
- Sterilization Equipment
- Vehicles
The program also does not cover software maintenance, but most manufacturers will split up software and hardware maintenance services.
With this new UCAPP program, the University of California assumes the risk associated with the service needs of the UC equipment, and departments are charged via an intercampus recharge. New service agreements will be reviewed and, if possible, UCAPP will offer a 25% discount over the vendor quoted price.
