bluCard is UC Berkeley's procurement card. Because it's for the general purchasing of goods and some services, it enjoys the highest usage by campus customers of the three card programs currently offered (the other cards are the Event Planner Card and the Travel Study Card). It provides department buyers a way to purchase and pay for routine low dollar cost products and services, requests for personal reimbursements, blanket purchase order releases, and petty cash transactions.

Although there is added convenience associated with this procurement method, there are also special roles and responsiblities that come with the privilege of participating in the bluCard program.
