  2. As of March 1, 1998, the penalty for “loaning out” the credit card to someone else is as follows: 1. All cardholders have been reminded, in writing, of the prohibition against allowing anyone else to use the Government Credit Card. In most cases, Approving Officials have received the same reminder. Training for new cardholders emphasizes this point as well. 2. The established agency-wide penalties for the use of the Government Credit Card by someone other than the cardholder is as follows: First Offense - A warning in the form of a written reprimand Second Offense - Loss of the card In order to have the card reinstated, the employee must complete all training for new cardholders and then request approval from the Center Procurement Officer.

  8. A cardholder’s single purchase limit is $3,000. This is the dollar amount for an individual purchase. An individual purchase can be for multiple items, but the total amount, including any special handling charges or shipping charges, cannot exceed this single purchase limit. You SHALL NOT exceed $3,000 during a billing cycle to the same vendor. (A billing cycle ends on the 23rd and begins on the 24th of each month.) Splitting (fragmenting) of a requirement to fall within the $3,000 limit is prohibited. Requirements aggregating more than than $3,000 SHALL NOT be broken down into several purchases that are less than $2,500 merely to permit use of your purchase card and to avoid preparing a purchase request to be processed to the Office of Procurement.
