GPOExpress^SM Payment Methods

How to establish a BAC for an IPAC Account

To obtain a BAC for IPAC your agency must have an 8-digit Agency Locator Code (ALC) assigned by the Department of Treasury. To determine if your agency has such an account, please check with your financial management personnel. If your agency has an ALC, obtaining a GPO BAC is relatively simple. Complete an SF-1 or Form 3001 FY13 3001 similar to this sample and have it signed by your agency's Printing Officer.

How to establish a BAC for a Deposit Account

To open a GPO Deposit Account complete an SF-1 or Form 3001 (FY13 3001) and have it signed by the authorized individual in your agency. GPO will assign a deposit account number. This account number will serve as your BAC.

If you do not know who is the authorized individual in your agency to sign the SF-1 or have any other questions, contact the appropriate GPO National Account Manager for your agency.

How to establish a BAC using a government credit card

To obtain a BAC using a government credit card, fill out the Form 3001 (FY13 3001) or SF-1 and have it signed by the authorized individual in your agency. If you do not know who is the authorized individual in your agency to sign the SF-1 or have any other questions, contact the appropriate GPO National Account Manager for your agency. For your protection, the credit card number can be left off either form and a GPO representative will call you for the number.

Step 1:
Before completing the SF-1 or GPO Form 3001 (FY13 3001) complete the following. Once sent, your application will be reviewed and a GPO National Account Manager will contact you for either the SF-1 or Form 3001 (FY13 3001).
