A key control for PG&E is having a purchase order in place for each good or service we purchase from your organization before any work begins.
We will be investigating and installing corrective actions for each instance where an after-the-fact purchase order has to be issued. Please register the AFPO activity in the application link below to report situations where you have already commenced work without a purchase order first being issued.

Please be sure to read and understand our Supplier Quality Requirements for Materials and our Supplier Qualification Manual.
Suppliers that provide material that is considered "high risk" are required to be ISO 9001 certified. Please access the documents below for a list of material families that are risk ranked as "high."
On Oct. 24, 2016, PG&E launched a web-based solution (eSCR) to replace the paper forms and email process currently used to submit Supplier Change Requests. While the Change Management Process and its requirements haven’t changed, eSCR allows suppliers to launch the process via an online form and submit the required documentation as attachments.
The Supplier Change Request program provides a formal system for assesing, tracking and documenting material recalls and changes that affect fit, form or function of procured material – including but not limited to changes in manufacturing site location, changes in sub-suppliers and changes to key manufacturing equipment. The SCR program requires pre-approval of those changes to avoid the adverse effect of random changes.

Due to climate and environmental issues in the state of California, wildfire is a significant threat needing attention for prevention and mitigation. Therefore, PG&E has revised procedural standards to best support addressing this urgent situation.
All suppliers working in the field are expected to adhere to these requirements taking responsibility for actions which could potentially cause wildfire. This includes awareness of wildfire risk in geographic areas where work is to be performed, properly outfitting vehicles and personnel with adequate training and tools; ensuring each individual is accountable for preventing and mitigating potential wildfire risk.
