Scope and Applicability.

This instruction applies to all DON activities using the Purchase Card Program. Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) activities are bound by the DON EBUSOPSOFFINST 4200.2 for Purchase Card Program procurement purposes.

PCPNs are interim policy updates. A complete instruction would include the NAVSUPINST 4200.99 and all interim PCPNs. Purchase Card Administrative Notices (PCANs) are non-policy notices for Purchase Card Program participants. Both PCPNs and PCANs will be distributed to Level III Agency Program Coordinators (APCs). They will also be distributed via the email subscription on our website: https://www.navsup.navy.mil/ccpmd. All PCPNs and PCANs will be posted on this website within 24 hours of distribution. APCs shall sign up for the DON Consolidated Card Program Management Division (CCPMD) email subscription in order to receive policy and administrative notices. It is highly encouraged that Approving Officials (AOs) and Cardholders (CHs) also sign up for the email subscription.

Purpose.

Provide DON guidance on policies and procedures regarding the use of the GCPC program and is supplemental to references (a) through (t). This instruction was written to incorporate Purchase Card Policy Notices (PCPNs), updates to acquisition policy and financial management policy into one document. This instruction will be supplemented with local Internal Operating Procedures (IOPs) that do not conflict with the guidance provided.
