Contracting Policy

The goal of UHS is to utilize contracts with our GPO partner whenever possible for purchased products and/or services to obtain the best overall quality and price. In the absence of a GPO contract for a product or service, UHS will establish corporate agreements with qualified suppliers based on the below criteria:

  • Supplier products must be of high quality and durability.
  • Supplier must provide national sales coverage and account management to meet the needs of all UHS facilities.
  • Supplier must have the necessary capacity to handle large volume and meet delivery expectations and fill rates.
