I.M.P.A.C. will be printed on all cards, which stands for International Merchant Purchase Authorization Card. The Director of Contracting will issue the Delegation of Authority to cardholders. The delegation will specify the authority being delegated and any limitations on the authority. The Approving Official should be the cardholder's supervisor or a higher level official. No other person is authorized to use the card, other than the cardholder.
Cardholders are procurement officials.
The use of the credit card does not authorize purchases that are not otherwise authorized by law or regulation. In addition, screening of requirements against availability from regular supply channels is required. The DOC, Support Division is responsible for oversight of this program. Inspections are held semi-annual. The BPA is only an agreement, not a contract, and is like a charge account.
