DEAN.HUNSTAD(AT)NAVY.MIL, 202-685-6734, DSN 325-6734// RMKS/1.  I WANT 
TO EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UPCOMING TRANSITION OF THE 
GOVERNMENT CHARGE CARD PROGRAM (GCCP) TO A NEW CONTRACT PROVIDER.  THIS 
MESSAGE SUPPORTS THE EFFORTS DETAILED IN REFERENCES A AND B WHICH 
ANNOUNCE THE GOVERNMENT-WIDE TRANSITION FROM THE CURRENT TO NEW 
CONTRACT PROVIDERS.  THE GCCP INCLUDES THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
TRAVEL, PURCHASE, AND FLEET CARD PROGRAMS.  OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, THE 
GCCP HAS BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR OPERATIONS, ACCOUNTING FOR OVER 
2.7 BILLION IN ANNUAL PURCHASES.  THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE 
TRANSITIONED TO A NEW SERVICE PROVIDER.  THE SUCCESS OF THIS TRANSITION 
IS CRITICAL TO UNINTERRUPTED MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT.  INVOLVEMENT AT 
ALL LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL.
2.  THE GCCP IS PART OF THE GENERAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATION SMARTPAY 
PROGRAM.  THE SMARTPAY CONTRACT ENDS 29 NOVEMBER 2008 AND THE SMARTPAY 
2 CONTRACT BEGINS ON 30 NOVEMBER 2008.  NAVY AND MARINE CORPS COMPONENT 
PROGRAM MANAGERS ARE WORKING WITH AGENCY PROGRAM COORDINATORS (APC) TO 
FACILITATE A SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION.  THE CONTRACT TRANSITION CREATES 
ADDITIONAL WORKLOAD AND CHALLENGES FOR COMMAND APCS.  FOR COMMANDING 
OFFICERS, OFFICERS IN CHARGE, AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL, IT IS 
IMPORTANT THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR COMMANDS CHARGE CARD TRANSITION 
PLANS (TRAVEL, PURCHASE, AND FLEET CARD PROGRAMS) AND PROVIDE SUPPORT 
TO YOUR COMMAND APC AS NECESSARY TO ENSURE SUCCESS.
