Former Federal employee here. To buy something for thousands of dollars we were required to work with a Contracting Officer and go through a rigorous bid process. But when we needed some pencils or safety vests or AA batteries for the wall clock, we were allowed to make small purchases on a government credit card without so much paperwork. It’s called “micro-purchasing” and it just makes sense—sense that Republicans seem to be lacking.
