2024 Highlights
|
Core by Biocom California Rebrand
The Biocom California Purchasing Group has been the premier group purchasing organization across California for almost three decades, and as our members have expanded their teams and facilities to 40 other states, so have we. In order to best represent our expanded reach, we rebranded this year to Core by Biocom California. Our new name more clearly reflects our commitment to providing comprehensive and essential support and resources to life science companies nationwide. From startups to multinationals, our programs are designed to address the core needs of a life science business.
Portfolio Expansion
We were thrilled to roll out five new offerings in 2024: Microsoft powered by centrexIT, Hampton Inn San Francisco-Airport, Home2 Suites San Francisco-Airport, Occupational Services, Inc. and a refreshed Veolia agreement. Each program was carefully crafted to supplement our existing portfolio of programs, providing solutions to the most common challenges faced by life science companies. If you are interested to learn more about any of these new agreements, or to evaluate your company’s use of our other 30+ programs, reach out to your Biocom California account manager.

New Portfolio Addition: Used Lab Equipment
Core is excited to share that 2025 will include the launch of an expansive used lab equipment program, allowing members to manage their asset inventory and resell their surplus with ease. This addition is just one example of how your feedback plays a vital role in shaping our initiatives. We encourage all of our members to share insights with us by joining our Core Advisors committee, or by participating on our Annual Bid Council. Learn more about our committees and stay tuned for more details about this exciting program in Q1.
Welcoming Tim Scott
After 25 years serving as Biocom California’s President and CEO, Joe Panetta will be succeeded in January by long-time Biocom California board member, Tim Scott. Having served as the board chair since 2022, Scott is deeply familiar with the Biocom California mission: “I am honored to lead Biocom California as we propel the industry forward in this unprecedented era of innovation and discovery across the state. I am eager to work with Biocom California’s members and our talented, passionate team to drive this mission forward.” Learn more.
