GLOSSARY Abbreviation Term Description A/BO Approving/Billing Official Program Officials responsible for reviewing and approving Governmentwide Purchase Card Managing Account (MA) Billing Statements (GPC Bank Invoices) and transaction supporting data for compliance with applicable Acquisition Policies. Individuals serving as A/BOs in every Do.

The A/OPC is an individual who has responsibility for implementing, maintaining, monitoring, and overseeing GPC programs under their cognizance in accordance with governing statute, regulations, policies, and procedures. Backlog As a result of both US Bank hierarchy and system interface challenges, numerous Service transactions were not subject to data mining (DM) in a timely manner. This resulted in a case “backlog” (i. e. , cases that were not referred to a GPC program official for action in a timely manner). Cases that were not referred in a timely manner at the initiation of Smart. Pay® (SP) 3 due to technical issues, sometimes referred to as “backlog cases” are considered aged cases. CPM Component Program Manager GPC Lead(s) for each Defense Component (Service, Defense Agency/Activity). They are Level 2 s in the PIEE Hierarchy. DM Data Mining An automated process used to scan databases to detect patterns, trends, and/or anomalies for use in risk management, spend patterns, and other areas of analysis. 20

GPC Governmentwide The charge card account established with the issuing bank that enables properly authorized Commercial Purchase Government personnel to buy and pay for supplies and services in support of official Government Card business. HA Head of Activity The HA is the senior-most person in an organization that employs Agency/Organization Program Managers (A/OPCs). The HA can delegate his or her GPC oversight functions no lower than the Commanding Officer’s deputy, the Chief of Contracts or Head of Procurement, or the Chief of Contracts’ deputy or Head of Procurement’s deputy. Each Component must determine which of its roles will serve as the HA and document that determination in Component/local procedures. If a Defense Agency or Activity has been designated Head of Contracting Activity (HCA) authority as defined in FAR Part 2, their HA is the HCA or the HCA's deputy, who must be an individual in a management position not to exceed one level below the HCA. Under no circumstances can a CPM serve as the HA. IOD Insights on Demand Insights On Demand (IOD) by Oversight is an artificial intelligence DM platform that automatically analyzes Do.
