THE D O D GPC P ROGRAM GPC P ROGRAM A UDITS O VERSIGHT P OLICY / STANDARDS / SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENTS The Government-wide Commercial Purchase Card Program was created by Executive Order in 1982 to provide an efficient way for agencies to purchase goods and services directly from vendors. The micro-purchase threshold was established in statute in Implementation of the GPC Program allowed DoD to replace the paper-based, time-consuming purchase order process resulting in reduced: Procurement Lead Time Transaction Cost Savings Reduced Procurement Office Workload Government Charge Card Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 established standard controls and reporting across the federal government.
