General Information
ITA manages the purchase card program for Headquarters, Domestic and International field offices. The purchase card, established to reduce administrative costs, is the preferred method to purchase and pay for micro-purchases (purchases less than $3,000) of services and supplies.
In addition to purchase cards, convenience checks are sometimes used to pay for micro-purchases of services and supplies under special circumstances. For more information about when the use of a convenience check may be appropriate, see the DOC’s Purchase Card Management Policy, Commerce Acquisition Manual and ITA’s Convenience Check Policy and Procedures (links below).
