Uniform Statewide Accounting System (USAS)

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts will update the USAS purchase category code (PCC) titles to align with the Statewide Procurement Division requirements and CAPPS PCC titles, and to improve reporting of Department of Information Resources (DIR) purchases. Effective Sept. 1, agencies must use PCCs I and N for DIR purchases on USAS document type 2 only.

PCC updates include:

• I – DIR Contract Non-Bulk Purchase (renamed)
• N – DIR Contract Bulk Purchase (new code)
• J and Y will be inactivated as of Sept. 1

The 86th Legislature made many changes to Article IX of the General Appropriations Act (GAA) that take effect Sept. 1. See Changes to Article IX of the GAA and Other Bills of Interest to State Agencies (FPP F.008) for a summary of these changes and major bills passed that affect state agencies.
