License Plate Ordering Process
USDA is utilizing the Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) to order license plates.
UNICOR's License Plate System (LPS) is a web-based system that provides agencies
with the flexibility and control of ordering their own license plates as needed.
Fleet Managers delegate LPS user access, upon their discretion, which assists in
the convenience of the lead time from manufacturer to end user. UNICOR manages the
numbering convention of license plates ordered by USDA. Thus, the possibility of
duplicates is mitigated.
Accident Reporting
All USDA employees are reminded of the accident reporting requirements stated in
AGPMR 110-34.305 and should keep a “Motor Vehicle Accident Report Kit” (AD-651)
in each vehicle. The AD-651 can be obtained from the USDA Beltsville Service Center,

Fleet Charge Card
Center (CCSC)
The USDA Charge Card Service Center (CCSC) was established to manage the charge
card program for the Department of Agriculture. The CCSC website has been developed
to provide a central repository of information on the USDA purchase, fleet, and
travel cards. The USDA Fleet Charge Card Program is managed under the USDA CCSC.
USDA awarded a task order to U.S. Bank to obtain fleet charge cards to assist USDA
agencies in supporting their mission needs. The fleet charge card is the tool for
purchasing fuel, maintenance and/or repairs for any USDA-owned or leased vehicle,
boat, aircraft, or motorized piece of equipment. The USDA Fleet Charge Card Program
is designed to provide program related information to cardholders and card program
managers; assist with any inquiries or issues involving the fleet charge card; and
process new/replacement fleet charge card requests. You can contact the USDA Fleet
Charge Card Program at CCSC@dm.usda.gov
