CLGOOl OoO Governmentwide Commercial Purchase Card Overview Lesson 1

The DoD GPC Program is structured to follow the procurement authority necessary in the Program. The various authorities within the Program are referred to as "levels" and represent all the groups of GPC participants based on the level of their authority, with the cardholder {CH) at the base of the structure as Level 6 (except for Navy, where the CH is Level 7), and the Purchase Card Policy Office {PCPO) at the top of the structure as Level 1. The Level 4 for the Army/ Air Force and Defense Agencies is equivalent to the Level 5 for the Navy and USMC. This structure, or hierarchy of authority, serves for the efficient flow of information and guidance to all participants. This lesson will identify the overall structure and provide the roles and responsibilities inherent in each level. Select Air Force/Army/Defense Agencies Levels 4-6 and Navy/USMC Levels 4-7 to view their hierarchical structures.
