What is the primary regulatory document governing the GPC program?

The DoD Government Purchase Card Program Handbook serves as the primary regulatory document governing the Government Purchase Card (GPC) program. This handbook outlines the specific procedures, policies, and guidelines for the issuance, use, and management of government purchase cards within the Department of Defense. It provides essential information tailored to the unique needs of the DoD, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations while addressing the operational and financial accountability aspects of the GPC program.

While other documents, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Office of Management and Budget Circular, contribute to the broader regulatory framework surrounding federal acquisitions and spending, they do not focus specifically on the intricacies of the GPC program as the handbook does. Similarly, the Defense Logistics Agency Guidelines provide additional resources but are not the primary governing document for the GPC program itself.
