The article directly states that this applies to the GSA smartpay cards. Those are limited to approved purchases under the micro procurement threshold under GSA directives.


Exactly my point. Micro-Purchases.


The micro threshold is $10k, as I said earlier.


Yes, I get that. You may be underestimating the size of typical PubSec deals.


I'm not talking about the multibillion dollar agency deals, I'm talking about day to day procurement like equipment, printing costs, office supplies, etc. You know, the routine purchases that keep the government running.


Orrrrrrr you misunderstood and have been doubling down repeatedly when the real numbers are literally on the same screen as your comment.
