Dear Colleges,
Happy New Year!
Welcome to the January 2026 edition of the VCCS Procurement Scorecard.
We are excited to announce that beginning on January 20, 2026, we will be rolling out mandatory PCard training for all cardholders, approvers, and administrators. The intent of this training is to provide the knowledge and tools needed to help all our Colleges improve PCard procurement compliance. Please see the communication sent January 6, 2026, to select one of four sessions to attend.
The results for this month’s edition of our Scorecard are detailed below for the following areas that require our collective efforts to meet the Commonwealth of Virginia’s standards:
- Confirming Orders
- PCard Non-Compliance
- SWaM Performance
- eVA Dashboard Certification
VCCS Procurement Scorecard:
- Confirming Orders for December: 10.10%; Goal is 5% or less
- PCard Compliance as of November: 24.07%; Goal is 15% or less
- SWaM Performance (Fiscal Year to Date 2026): 40.16%; Goal is 42% or more

(2) PCard Non-Compliance:
Current: 24.07%; Goal is 15% or less
New this month, we are introducing a mandatory PCard training program along with an escalation plan, both designed to strengthen procurement compliance when using PCards. (Please see the communication sent January 6, 2026, to select one of four sessions to attend.)
Congratulations! PCard non-compliance findings dropped to 24% in November. Let’s keep this momentum going!
The three most frequent findings for non-compliance were:
- ‘No Evidence of a single quote’
- ‘Non-SWaM purchase without evidence of SWaM search or justification’
- ‘Receiving not completed in eVA’
REMINDER: When an eVA PO is issued for a purchase, requestors are REQUIRED to complete the ‘receiving in eVA’. There are training modules available in the SSC Content Library that cover five different topics related to ‘receiving in eVA’ to assist you (Tip: Use your MyCollege login credentials to access the Content Library).

Please note:
- Commonwealth agencies are measured on a Fiscal Year basis (July 1 – June 30).
- Reporting is done with a one-month lag.
- This *number, as well as your respective College SWaM percentage, is reflective of all adjustments and/or subcontractor spend entered into the Expenditure Dashboard for the Fiscal Year.
