Are acquisitions conducted with a government-wide commercial purchase card covered by section 508?
If the card is used to conduct an open-market purchase of $2,500 or less and the action occurs prior to October 1, 2004, the action would not be covered by the procurement provisions of section 508. By contrast, if the action occurs after October 1, 2004, it would be covered by those provisions. In addition, if the card is used to pay for an order (in any amount) under an existing indefinite- quantity contract placed on or after June 25, 2001 (the date the FAR rule takes effect), the action would be covered by those provisions. G.3.
