  ZThe Comptroller General
S          of the United States
           Washington, D.C. 20548

           Decision


                      United States Government National Credit Card
           Matter of:
                      B-214459
           File:

           Date:      November 12, 1987
           DIGESTS

           I. Claims or demands against the government which seek
           payment for supplies or services sold to it must be accom-
           panied by adequate evidence of delivery to or acceptance by
           an appropriate government ofticial of the goods or services
           at issue.

           2. When settling oil company credit card claims against the
           United States, conducting audits, or prosecuting false or
           fraudulent credit card claims, the government needs to be
           able to satisfy itself, based on the documents which
           evidence those transactions, that an authorized individual
           used a valid card to properly service or supply an ofticial
           vehicle engaged on official business.

           3. Oil companies participating in the United States
           Government National Credit Card Program (SF-149) may be
           permitted to adopt new technologies which result in the
           elimination of signed paper delivery tickets (e.g., credit
           card charge receipts), if appropriate auditing and
           accounting controls are maintained and the government's
           ability to settle claims, conduct audits, and litigate
           false and fraudulent claims, are otherwise adequately
           protected.

           4. The United States Government National Credit Card
           Program (SF-149) should be modified to require users of the
           SF-149 credit card to tender their government ID along
           with the SF-149, so that the station operator can verity the
           user's name and official status.

           against the United States arising trom use of the United
