§ 101-38.800 - General.

(a) Standard Form (SF) 149, U.S. Government National Credit Card, and SF 149A, U.S. Government Fleet Credit Card, are authorized for use by Federal agencies to obtain services and supplies at service stations dispensing items provided by contractors listed in the Defense Fuel Supply Center publication, “Government Vehicle Operator's Guide—Your Guide to Service Stations for Gasoline, Oil, and Lubrication” (DFSCH 4280.1). Activities requiring copies of the publication should submit requests to: Commander, Defense Fuel Supply Center, Attention: DSFC: OD, Cameron Station, Alexandria, VA 22304-6160.

(b) Charges for the SF 149 are processed manually by DFSC contractors. The SF 149A is designed for acceptance at electronic point of sale (EPOS) terminals in addition to manual processing. The SF 149 and SF 149A may not be used at customer activated terminals (i.e., at the fuel pump) except at fueling facilities dispensing alternative fuels where no other option exists.

(c) The SF 149 and SF 149A are the only Governmentwide credit cards approved for use by Federal agencies using IFMS vehicles for the procurement of motor fuel (including alternative fuels) and services at service stations and refueling sites dispensing items provided by the contractors listed in the Defense Fuel Supply Center publication referenced in paragraph (a) of this section. However, agencies are not required to use the SF 149 or SF 149A for motor vehicles used for purposes in which identification as Government vehicles would interfere with the performance of the functions for which the vehicles were acquired and are used. Motor vehicles included in the exception for the use of SF 149 and SF 149A are listed in §§ 101-38.200(f) and 101-38.204.

(d) GSA will provide centralized management and control of the SF 149 and SF 149A programs. Inquiries concerning the policy and administration of these programs shall be directed to the General Services Administration, ATTN: FBF, Washington, DC 20406.

(e) Federal agencies are responsible for the establishment of administrative controls to ensure that the fuel and services procured by using the SF 149 and SF 149A are for the official use of the agency and that administrative controls are maintained to prevent unauthorized use. The General Services Administration, ATTN: FBF, Washington, DC 20406, will provide assistance in establishing ordering procedures and management reporting systems pertaining to the SF 149 and SF 149A.

(f) The SF 149 and SF 149A may be used for any properly identified U.S. Government motor vehicle, boat, small aircraft, or nonvehicular equipment.
