Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement; Overseas Use of the Purchase Card in Contingency, Humanitarian, or Peacekeeping Operations

Résumé

DoD has issued a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to permit contracting officers supporting an overseas contingency, humanitarian, or peacekeeping operation to use the Governmentwide commercial purchase card on a stand-alone basis for purchases valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold. Use of the purchase card streamlines purchasing and payment procedures and, therefore, increases operational efficiency.
