Wide availability of fleet credit cards and gcpc

wide availability of fleet credit cards and GCPC. Nevertheless, it is still in use especially in contingency
operations where vendors may not have the capability to process a bank credit card."
The GCPC fades out and an image of a combat zone displays at the center left as the narrator reads the
following: "In the military a contingency contracting officer and a finance paying officer with cash may be
the only way to accomplish small purchases in a combat zone."
The combat zone image stays and an image of the U.S. Forest service displays center right as the narrator
reads the following: "Civilian agencies can also use the SF 44 when other purchasing methods would be
impractical. Buying teams in the U.S. Forest Service use the SF 44 to purchase supplies needed
immediately at the fire camps for fighting forest fires. Be careful when you utilize the SF44 to observe the
four requirements listed in FAR 13.306(a)."

Closed Captioning
We have learned there are many different methods of acquisition under the SAT. These are described in
FAR Part 13. For acquisitions above the SAT there are only two basic methods of acquisition. The first is
called sealed bidding, described in FAR Part 14. The other method is contracting by negotiations,
described in FAR Part 15.
