GPO 4044 — Line of Accounting

Please read before downloading and submitting the GPO 4044

The GPO 4044 (Simplified Purchase Agreement (SPA) Work Order) is used to place work on a SPA Program.

It is required to submit the Work Order to GPO immediately after the order is placed with the contractor. Failure to do so may result in delay of payment to the contactor and untimely delays in the agency receiving their bill. In addition, ensure that the Work Order is a valid number and it has not been used on a previous order and verify the Jacket, Purchase Order number, State and Contractor’s Code prior to submission. Contact your Contract Administrator if you have questions regarding this information.

Important information: The Line of Accounting (LOA) is an identification code assigned by the customer agency doing business with GPO.  It provides reference information to the agency’s original obligating document and is used to verify that billings are properly charged. The LOA is a variable length, alpha-numeric code.

The agencies listed below require an LOA or other accounting information in order to properly process their billings. If you are submitting a GPO 4044 on behalf of one of these agencies, the LOA or other accounting information MUST be included on the GPO 4044. Please enter this information in the field “Line of Accounting/Document Reference Number.” Information entered in this field will appear on the IPAC statement. In addition, please include your email address and phone number (commercial) in the “Additional Information” field in the middle of the form.  Incomplete data may delay processing your request.

Some agencies require two Lines of Accounting. If your agency is one of those, enter the second LOA in the “Additional Information” field on the GPO 4044.

If your agency is not listed below or you have an LOA code, download the 4044.
