GSA Form 7661: Purchase Card Approval Authority

GSA Form 7661, Purchase Card Approval Authority, is a General Services Administration form, GSA 7661 12/2018, headed For New Approving Officials. GSA hosts it in its forms library, and GSA's page lists no authority or regulation.

The form records a purchase card approving official's contact details, their supervising manager, the cardholder's name and the service or staff office, chosen from a list of GSA offices. The purchase card coordinator completes the reporting hierarchy. It ends with three signature blocks: the approving official's certification, the supervising manager's certification and the purchase card coordinator's signature.

The approving official certifies not being subordinate to the cardholder and ensuring the purchase card is used properly in accordance with all purchase card policy and procedures. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
