State Term Contract Procurement Cards
The items below are revised to clarify when it is appropriate to use procurement cards, and to clarify documentation requirements and time frames for processing APS Service Authorizations in the IMPACT system when using the card. This change makes policy easier to understand and increases compliance by field staff when using the card.
The policy change incorporates good business practices and allows for regions to use procedures designed to support quality assurance of purchasing procedures and documentation reviews.
