Purpose
The Commonwealth Purchasing Card Program is authorized by Management Directive 310.23 and subject to all subsequent amendments and revisions. Management Directive 310.23 and the Procurement Handbook outline the policies, procedures, and processes that govern usage of the Purchasing Card for the procurement of materials and services by which all purchases must comply.

Benefits
The Purchasing Card offers many benefits to the Commonwealth and the supplier community. Suppliers are paid within two to three business days of the purchase. Additionally, the Commonwealth receives a 1.47% rebate after a monthly purchase threshold is met, which will increase as spending with the purchasing card increases. This rebate is returned to the Purchasing Cardholder’s organizational budget.

P-Card Benefits
The Purchasing Card will only affect the Commonwealth’s credit status and not reflect on the Cardholder’s and/or Authorized User’s personal credit history. The cardholder and/or Authorized User are not responsible for payment of authorized purchases.

Overview
The Commonwealth’s Purchasing Card (P-Card) is similar to a personal credit card in that the contractor receives payment directly from the card issuer rather than the Commonwealth. The contractor is required to pay a fee to the card issuer. Any and all card issuer fees related to this type of payment are the responsibility of the contractor.
15
![Page 16: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overview
1. In no case will the Commonwealth allow increases in prices to offset P-Card fees paid by the contractor or other card issuer charges incurred by the contractor unless it is specifically stated in the terms of the contract or purchase order. Some contractors may not agree to payment through the P-Card.
2. Additional guidance can be obtained by referring to Management Directive 310.23, amended, Commonwealth Purchasing Card Program.

![Page 17: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Overview
3. The P-Card provides a method of payment for materials and services procured in accordance with the Commonwealth’s procurement policies. It is NOT a method of contract award. Procedural requirements for awards of contracts and orders must still be followed. Compliance with these requirements is the responsibility of the P-Card user.

When can the P-Card be Used?
18
![Page 19: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When can the P-Card be Used?
The Purchasing Card is a method of payment for materials/services.
Before making a purchase, consider:Is the material/service on a Commonwealth or Agency contract?If the answer is yes, then you must procure the item from the contracted supplier.Depending on the contract language and the amount of the purchase, payment may be made using the purchasing card.
19
![Page 20: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Using the Purchasing Card
Purchasing Card most commonly used as a method of payment for: Small, no-bid procurements ($0 - $5,000) Purchases from DGS statewide contracts, when the
contract allows for use of the purchasing card and the value of the order is less than $5,000. Some strategically sourced contracts allow for the use of the purchasing card.
20
![Page 21: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Small, No-Bid Procurements
$0 - $5,000Small, no-bid procurement purchases can be
paid using the purchasing card.
21
![Page 22: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Per the DGS Procurement Handbook
Small procurements should not reflect a pattern of repeated procurements from the same supplier and should reflect cost equal to or less than the market price.
Requirements cannot be artificially divided to stay within the small procurement threshold.
Don’t just go to the same supplier for everything unless the needed item is under contract.
Should reflect best value – shop around.Pay with the purchasing card, if purchasing card
policy permits and if the supplier accepts the purchasing card.

![Page 23: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Determining Whether Need Falls Within Small, No-Bid Procurement
Consider known need for fiscal year. Review past history Discuss planned needs for year Use your organization’s collective judgment
If known need exceeds $5,000 in fiscal year, then Purchaser follows the requirements for competitive bidding; i.e., small, informal-bid procurement ($5,000-$10,000) or formal, competitive bidding (over $10,000). You cannot use your Purchasing Card.
23
![Page 24: DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES BUREAU OF PROCUREMENT JUNE 2011 Purchasing Card (P-Card)Training](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051210/55157e1255034691418b5516/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Determining Whether Need Falls Within Small, No-Bid Procurement
Scenario: What happens if known needs for a material is not anticipated to be over $5,000 in a fiscal year and you make a Purchasing Card purchase for $3,000 and now there is an unanticipated need for another $2,500 within the same fiscal year?
Department practice: Seek informal quotes for the new, unanticipated $2,500 need. Award to the lowest responsible and responsive supplier. Use your Purchasing Card; however, document the scenario so it doesn’t appear as circumvention.

Approved Usage
4. The procurement is one of the following types:
a. For procurements of materials and services that are on DGS statewide contracts:

Unapproved Usage
31
Split Payment – to make multiple payments of less than $5,000. For example, an item $4,500, and the freight charges are $600 for a total purchase price of $5,100. A split purchase would be to pay for the item and the freight separately.
Split Purchase – Artificially dividing procurement requirements so as to constitute a small procurement. (Procurement Handbook, Part 1 Chapter 6, D.4) (Example: Your need is for $5,500; and you decide to do two separate purchases, rather than following the requirements for competitive bidding.)

P-Card Enabled vs. P-Card Accepted
P-Card Enabled means a supplier is set up to automatically allow the use of a P-Card using an SRM shopping cart on an enabled approved contract. Users with the P-Card Requisitioner role can create orders through the SRM system and use their P-Card to pay for purchases $5,000 or less from the P-Card enabled contracts. P-Card orders are auto-faxed to the supplier with the appropriate P-Card data on the purchase order.A P-Card enabled supplier may have one or more P-Card enabled contracts. These contracts must meet specific criteria before they can be designated as P-Card enabled.
