What is a Procurement (P-Card)?

The Procurement Card with a visa logo serves like a credit card, and is an alternative to processing an invoice with a check request form.  The card was established to provide a more efficient and cost-effective method for purchasing and paying for small dollar transactions, as well as high-volume and repetitive purchases.  The procurement card is to be used for the procurement of general supplies and selected services.  The total amount of a transaction shall not exceed the single purchase limit of $1,000.

The P-card is a privilege granted to the department's faculty and staff and must be used in a responsible and appropriate manner. Fraudulent or intentional misuse of the card will result in revocation of the card, personnel actions against the user, and/or possible criminal charges. Periodic audits of the card custodian's transaction file and monthly summaries will be conducted by the Office of Finance and Business Services.
