What is the role of the GPC Agency/Organization Program Coordinator (A/OPC)?

The role of the GPC Agency/Organization Program Coordinator (A/OPC) primarily centers around the oversight of the Governmentwide Commercial Purchase Card program within a specific agency or organization. This includes ensuring that the GPC program operates within the established guidelines and regulations, thereby promoting compliance with federal acquisition regulations and policies. The A/OPC is responsible for implementing and monitoring proper usage of the GPC, as well as conducting oversight to mitigate fraud, waste, and abuse.

In this capacity, the A/OPC plays a vital role in training and educating cardholders about proper purchasing practices, but their primary focus is on overall program management and compliance. This oversight function is essential to ensure that the various stakeholders within the organization are adhering to the rules set forth by the Department of Defense and other governing entities related to the use of GPCs.
