GSA SmartPay®
The GSA SmartPay® 2 program provides charge cards to U.S. government agencies/departments, as well as tribal governments, through master contracts that are negotiated with major national banks. There are currently over 350 agencies/organizations participating in the program spending $30 billion annually, through 100 million transactions on over three million cards.
In June 2007, the Office of Charge Card Management awarded the GSA SmartPay® 2 master contracts to Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, and U.S. Bank. Through these contracts, agencies can obtain a number of different types of charge card products and services to support their mission needs, including:
- Purchase Cards: Purchasing general supplies and services;
- Travel Cards: Travel expenses related to official government travel (airline, hotel, meals, incidentals);
- Fleet Cards: Fuel and supplies for government vehicles; and
- Integrated Cards: Two or more business lines (card types) whose processes are integrated into one card.
Most agencies have transitioned to the new GSA SmartPay 2 cards on November 29, 2008; however, DHS (purchase only) will continue to use the GSA SmartPay 1 charge cards until they transition in June 2009.
Qualified agencies/organizations that are interested in obtaining charge card services can issue a task order under the master contract, and receive offers from the charge card providers.
