About AICCUBuys
AICCUBuys is a joint initiative developed in partnership between the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FoundationCCC) and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU). Operated through FoundationCCC’s Enterprise and Procurement Services department, AICCUBuys focuses exclusively on providing strategic sourcing to meet the unique procurement needs of AICCU member institutions.
Strategic Sourcing for Higher Education Institutions
AICCU represents over 80 independent, nonprofit colleges and universities that make up the Independent California Colleges and Universities (ICCU) sector—a key contributor to California’s advanced workforce and global leadership in innovation.
Through AICCUBuys, member institutions can access exclusive discounts of up to 85% on a wide range of products—from cutting-edge educational technology and software to high-quality classroom furnishings and equipment—helping colleges and universities optimize their investments and maximize value.
Backed by Statutory Authority
AICCU institutions may utilize FoundationCCC agreements, which are developed based on longstanding principles of cooperative utilization and in compliance with public contract law requirements. Although AICCU institutions are not obligated to follow these requirements, the use of these agreements is subject to each institution’s individual policies and procedures.
Our programs also adhere to the Enterprise and Procurement Services Procurement and Contracting Policy, which provides guidelines for securing agreements under our statutory authority.
