What is the P-card threshold for supplies purchases?

• A. 2000
• B. 3000
• C. 4000
• D. 1000

Answer: (B)

The P-card threshold for supplies purchases is the maximum dollar amount allowed for a single purchase charged to the government purchase card without needing extra approvals. Three thousand dollars is the value used for supplies, so you can use the P-card for routine, low-cost items up to that amount. If a supplies item costs more than this, you must use the normal procurement process or obtain the appropriate authorization. For example, a $2,800 order of office supplies can be charged to the P-card, while a $4,000 equipment purchase would require a different procurement path.
