About ULSCA

The University Logistics and Supply Chain Association (ULSCA) began in the mid-70’s called the Big Ten Materials Management Group.  Over the course of the next 30 years, the organization adopted various names as it grew encompassing multiple large universities with “stores”, and operations focused on improving the warehouse based supply model. 

In August of 2015 the organization settled on the current title. The following year the ULSCA entered into a partnership with the National Association of Educational Procurement (NAEP) in an effort to align expertise in distribution and logistics with procurement and contracting creating a complete Supply Chain partnership with a Higher Education focus. The partnership focuses on excellent educational programs, expansive membership, strong history of effectiveness, and administrative assistance.
 
ULSCA continues to seek opportunities to expand its scope, evaluate new partnerships and welcome new members. Our organization celebrates great diversity as our members are engaged in the supply chain process in schools across the country. The organization has grown substantially, but remains a small enough to provide ready access to experienced and supportive colleagues and through NAEP, to a network of professional resources.
 
We are proud of our history of service to higher education and we are excited about our potential as we continue to grow partnerships between our members, vendors and other organizations
