Government Purchase Card

Definition

A Government Purchase Card is a charge card used for simplified acquisition of supplies and services below the micro-purchase threshold. GPC programs provide efficient procurement for routine, low-value purchases without formal contracting procedures.

GPC purchases represent accessible market opportunities for small transactions. Understanding GPC procedures helps contractors pursue micropurchase business. GPC programs have specific rules regarding dollar limits, authorized uses, and prohibited purchases.
