Overview

The Purchasing Card program is co-sponsored by the Department of Administrative Services Procurement Services and the Office of the State Comptroller. It is designed and intended to more effectively meet purchasing and travel needs. It streamlines and simplifies the purchasing and accounts payable functions by eliminating waste and low value activities, ultimately reducing transaction costs and improving vendor relations. The Purchasing Card (P-Card) is a payment tool that facilitates the timely acquisition of materials, automates data transactions for accounting purposes, supports travel services, and offers flexible controls to help ensure proper usage.
