All Program personnel will complete GPC-specific training prior to being appointed any responsibilities within the GPC Program. In addition, all GPC personnel will keep their GPC training current to continue to hold GPC positions. All Program personnel must protect the information derived from use of the GPC. All appointments must be made in JAM, an application within PIEE used by GPC participants to initiate, review, approve, maintain, and terminate GPC appointment and delegation letters. Paper copies of appointments are not required if appointments are issued using JAM. Government contractor employees will not be appointed as A/OPCs, BOs, or CHs, nor perform independent receipt of goods and services and will not be granted access to the card-issuing bank’s electronic access system (EAS) or any of the business IT systems. However, contractors may be granted read-only access to the card-issuing bank’s EAS upon Level 3 A/OPC approval.
