Purchases with the purchase card must meet which of the following criteria?

Bona Fide Need
Annual Budget Approval
Emergency Purchase Requirement
Vendor Contract Signatures

The correct answer is: Bona Fide Need

The correct answer is focused on the concept of "Bona Fide Need," which refers to the requirement that purchases made using the purchase card must be based on an actual, necessary requirement for goods or services. This principle ensures that federal funds are utilized efficiently and only for legitimate, essential needs within the agency's operational framework. Adhering to this criterion helps prevent wasteful spending and reinforces the responsible management of government resources. It also aligns with the legal obligations under fiscal regulations that emphasize the necessity of purchases in fulfilling an agency's mission. The other options, while relevant to overall procurement processes, do not specifically address the critical criteria for purchases made with a purchase card. Annual Budget Approval relates more to the overall allocation of funds rather than immediate purchasing decisions. Emergency Purchase Requirement is applicable in specific urgent situations but is not a blanket requirement for all purchase card transactions. Vendor Contract Signatures are pertinent to formal procurement methods and are not a necessary condition for purchases made using a purchase card, which are typically less formal and more flexible.
