Small Purchase Charge Card

As part of continuing efforts to streamline the State’s procurement and payment processes, the Commonwealth of Virginia has established a contract with Bank of America Visa to provide its purchasing card program to state agencies and institutions. The SPCC is the preferred payment method of the Commonwealth, and additionally, the University requires the use of the SPCC if the supplier accepts charge cards as a payment method with caveats for situations where charge card fees are imposed. See the Charge Card Fee Guidance page for details. Use of the SPCC reduces the number of Accounts Payable transactions by consolidating multiple vendor invoices into one monthly invoice from the charge card vendor. The availability of the SPCC will not supersede procedures for procuring goods. All purchases must comply with State and University procurement regulations.

Within the SPCC web menu, you will find the applicable policies, procedures, guides, information, and references for all things SPCC related. If at any point you have questions or concerns related to the SPCC, please contact your Program Administrators:
