The UMB PurchasingPlan checklist icon on orange circle Card (PCard) is designed to simplify the purchasing of goods and services. The PCards may be used for authorized purchase of $4,999 or less. All PCard purchases must follow State and UMB policies. With the exception of the limitations addressed in Section 3.5 of the User's Guide, use of the PCard is encouraged for any other purchases, provided that they are necessary, reasonably priced and “further the business of the State.” 

 

The PCard User's Guide is the best resource for ensuring that you are following all UMB policies and procedures for PCard purchases.
