Purchase Card Information - GSA Smart Pay Purchase Card

The PSC Purchase Card Program oversees the use and issuance of purchase cards for all of OS, ACF and AoA. The purchase card is the preferred method to purchase supplies and services up to the micropurchase threshold, currently $3,000 ($2,500 for services subject to the Service Contract Act; and $2,000 for construction).

Training is required annually for all cardholders and approving officials, and prior to setting up a new account, and is located online on the HHS University Learning portal. The training course, “Using the Purchase Card at HHS”, is a new course created by the OS, Office of Grants and Acquisition Policy and Accountability (OGAPA), and covers policy’s and regulations governing all HHS Purchase Card Programs.

The HHS Purchase Card Guide should be used as guidance for the use of the purchase card.

If you have been selected to receive a purchase card, complete the online training course on the HHS University website; complete the Request for Purchase Card Form; review and sign the Cardholder and Approving Official Training Certification form, and send all 3 pages to the Division of Quality Assurance, Room 5C-10, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857; scanned and emailed to Sheri.Kretschmaier@psc.hhs.gov; or Fax to (301) 480-0143.

Cardholders and Approving Officials, under the PSC Purchase Card Program, are required to use the Managing/Accounting Credit Card System (MACCS), https://maccs.dfo.psc.gov/. For information on MACCS, please contact the Tier 1 Helpdesk on 1-866-ONE-DHHS (866-663-3447).
