Can an agency buy Copilot training on a purchase card?

Usually, yes. How the micro-purchase threshold works for training, and what to have ready.

Short answer

Usually, yes. Federal purchases at or below the micro-purchase threshold, $15,000 since October 1, 2025, can be paid by government purchase card. Every single Puget Sound AI training session is priced below that threshold, from $2,500 for a half day to $8,500 for a two-day cohort.

The thresholds that matter

  • Micro-purchase threshold: $15,000. Raised from $10,000 in FAR 2.101, effective October 1, 2025. Purchases at or below it can be made by an authorized cardholder without full competition.
  • Simplified acquisition threshold: $350,000. Raised from $250,000 on the same date. Readiness reviews, rollout programs, and builds usually fit here under FAR Part 13.

What fits on a card

One training session is one purchase. A half-day Copilot Essentials session at $2,500, a full-day Power Automate workshop at $4,500, or the two-day Copilot Studio cohort at $8,500 each sit under the threshold with room for on-site travel, which is billed at cost and written into the quote.

Do not split a requirement

Agencies may not break one requirement into several smaller purchases to stay under a threshold. If you need to train every staff member, admin, and leader as one program, buy it as one requirement, usually under simplified acquisition. We quote it as a single rollout program.

State and local agencies

The FAR thresholds apply to federal buyers. State, county, and city governments set their own purchase card limits and procurement rules. Check with your purchasing office. A fixed written quote works under either set of rules.

Can a federal agency buy Copilot training on a purchase card?

Usually, yes. Purchases at or below the $15,000 federal micro-purchase threshold can be paid by government purchase card, and every single Puget Sound AI training session is priced below it.

What is the federal micro-purchase threshold?

Since October 1, 2025, $15,000 under FAR 2.101, up from $10,000. The simplified acquisition threshold rose to $350,000 on the same date.

Can we book several sessions on a card?

Only when each purchase is a separate requirement. Agencies may not split one requirement into smaller purchases to stay under a threshold. A rollout for several groups usually fits simplified acquisition instead.

Do state and local agencies follow the same threshold?

No. State, county, and city governments set their own purchase card limits and procurement rules. Check with your purchasing office; we provide a fixed written quote either way.
