What happens to GPC charge limitations when employees change duty stations?

The charge limitations on a Governmentwide Commercial Purchase Card (GPC) typically remain with the cardholder, even when employees change duty stations. This means that the established spending limits that have been set for the GPC do not automatically reset or change due to a location transfer. The continuity of these limitations helps ensure that the cardholder retains consistent access to the same level of spending authority, which is important for managing operational needs without interruption.

Maintaining these limitations with the cardholder supports the integrity of the program, since the oversight and accountability are personal to the individual who has received the training and authorization to use the card. This ensures that spending limits are adhered to and that transactions are still aligned with the mission and budgetary constraints of the respective agency. In contrast, the other options suggest scenarios that could disrupt the established spending practices or introduce inconsistencies, which would not align with the intended management of the GPC program.
