Sec. 2901.603-3  Appointment.

    General. In accordance with FAR 1.603-3, appointments will be made 
in writing on an SF 1402 for all warrants above the micro-purchase 
threshold. In addition, appointments may be made for specific functions 
unrelated to dollar threshold, such as indirect cost negotiation, debt 
management, and closeout functions.
    (a) Purchase Cards (micro-purchase threshold). Purchase cardholders 
will be appointed in accordance with the DOL Guidelines for Purchase 
Card Use and the Agency/Office procedures approved by the HCA. Agency/
Organization Purchase Card Coordinators requesting issuance of a 
purchase card must be responsible for ensuring that the purchase 
cardholder has taken an orientation course before issuance and/or use of 
the purchase card. A list of purchase cardholders is available at: 
http://www.dol.gov/oasam/foia/hotfoia/citibank-list.htm.
    (b) Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $100,000). The HCA 
may request a delegation of procurement authority not to exceed the 
simplified acquisition threshold based on education, training, and 
experience in the acquisition field. Effective July 26, 2004, all new 
appointments must comply with training requirements listed in ``OFPP 
Policy Letter No. 92-3, Procurement Professionalism Program Policy-
Training for Contracting Personnel'', dated June 24, 1992.
    (c) $500,000. The HCA may request a delegation of procurement 
authority not to exceed $500,000 based on the individual's education, 
training and experience in contracting. Although primarily reserved for 
those in the GS-1102 series, the HCA may consider business acumen, 
education, training, and experience. Effective May 27, 2004, all new 
appointments must comply with training requirements listed in ``OFPP 
Policy Letter No. 92-3, Procurement Professionalism Program Policy-
Training for Contracting Personnel'', dated June 24, 1992.

    (d) Unlimited. The HCA may request a delegation of procurement 
authority on an unlimited basis for individuals whose education, 
training, and experience in contracting warrant such authority. Although 
primarily reserved for those in the GS-1102 series, the HCA may consider 
length of service, training, and experience. Effective May 27, 2004, all 
new appointments must comply with training requirements listed in ``OFPP 
Policy Letter No. 92-3, Procurement Professionalism Program Policy-
Training for Contracting Personnel'', dated June 24, 1992.
