Membership club card fee's, such as Sam's club cards, are allowed but should be justified by the agency or governing authority to show that the anticipated savings from using the card would exceed the cost of the card fee. This justification should be maintained on file with the government entity. Each subsequent year, the government entity shall document actual savings for the previous year which substantiate the cost of the card. This would not mean documenting savings on each and every purchase but enough documentation to substantiate adequate savings to justify the expense of the card.
State agencies desiring to obtain a membership club card shall submit to the Office of Purchasing, Travel and Fleet Management f or approval with written justification for the need of a membership club card.
