Are GPC transactions subject to the same limitations as other government contracts?

GPC transactions are indeed subject to the same limitations as other government contracts. This means they must adhere to applicable regulations and limitations imposed by law, such as compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), agency-specific policies, and budgetary constraints. Maintaining this regulatory compliance ensures that GPC transactions are conducted with the same level of scrutiny and accountability expected in traditional contracting processes, thereby promoting transparency, preventing waste, and safeguarding taxpayer funds.

The need to comply with these regulations is critical for maintaining the integrity of the procurement process. By ensuring that cardholders understand and follow these limitations, it fosters responsible spending and contributes to the overall effectiveness of government purchasing initiatives. This underscores the importance of a well-trained workforce equipped to manage GPC transactions judiciously, while still adhering to the necessary legal framework governing federal acquisitions.
