Which is an example of unauthorized use of the GPC?

The selection of buying power tools for personal home use is an example of unauthorized use of the Government Purchase Card (GPC). The GPC is intended solely for official government business and purposes, and any personal purchases fall outside the scope of acceptable use. Using government funds for personal items not only violates procurement regulations but also undermines the integrity of the purchasing system.

In contrast, purchasing office furniture for a new workspace, acquiring promotional materials for a government event, and ordering supplies needed for a military training exercise are all legitimate uses of the GPC. These activities directly support government operations and fulfill official needs, thereby aligning with the purpose of the card.
