Effective January 2, 2024, UCLA transitioned to its new procure-to-pay system, BruinBuy Plus. This web page is actively being updated; however, it still references the legacy BruinBuy system and processes. Review the BruinBuy Plus hub for additional information and resources.
Purchases of goods and services using a low-value order (LVO) cannot exceed $5,000 per vendor, per day, per account code, excluding transportation costs and excluding sales and/or use tax.
