SUMMARY:	Effective June 14, 2010, management of the State P-Card and Travel Card programs will be transferred from the Division of Accounts and Reports to the Division of Purchases

With the implementation of SMART, the Department of Administration has been reviewing its statutory directives, along with statewide programs centrally administered, in order to re-organize these functions into the best support organization possible. Two of these areas are the P-Card and Travel Card programs. Effective June 14, 2010, the management of the State Procurement Card (P-Card) and Travel Card programs will be transferred from the Division of Accounts and Reports (A&R) to the Division of Purchases.

• Tim Hund will continue to be the central P-Card Administrator, but will physically relocate to the Division of Purchases on this effective date. In addition, Jill Martin, Division of Purchases, will be assigned as the backup administrator.
• P-Card and Travel Card program information currently provided at A&R’s home page will be moved to the Division of Purchases home page.

Tim Hund’s contact information will remain unchanged:

• Email – tim.hund@da.ks.gov
• Phone – 785-368-6347

Jill Martin’s contact information is:

• Email – jill.martin@da.ks.gov
• Phone – 785-296-3123

In addition, beginning June 14, the Division of Purchases mailing address and FAX are to be used for any P-Card and Travel Card program written correspondence:

Division of Purchases

Landon State Office Building, Room 102N 
Topeka, Kansas 66612-1286
