The UC Davis Supplier Expo is an annual in-person event providing resources and information for small and local suppliers in the greater Sacramento area.
Overview
Our UC Davis Health Procurement, UC Davis Supply Chain Management, and our teams supporting community inclusion and economic growth host this annual event to help suppliers learn more about doing business with UC Davis!
This event is generally held in the Spring each year. Specific date, time, and location information will be posted once it has been finalized, usually early in each calendar year.
We appreciate your interest!
2026 Summary
At the August 2026 event at the Oak Park Community Center in Sacramento, suppliers visited and engaged with more than 20 UC Davis Health and Davis campus departments, multiple chambers of commerce, the City of Sacramento, CALSTRS, and more. Breakout sessions on small business resources available from the State of California Department of General Services (DGS) and the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) Procurement were well-attended.
