Attachment 1 - Approximate Number of Employees and Cards by Agency.pdf

This attachment provides an approximate inventory of employees and procurement cards across 24 Missouri state agencies as of February 2026. The document lists the number of full-time employees, purchase cards (P-Cards), and business travel cards by agency. Major agencies include the Department of Corrections with 9,583 employees, the Department of Mental Health with 7,587 employees, and the Department of Transportation with 5,398 employees. The Transportation Department maintains the highest number of P-Cards at 1,372, followed by the Department of Conservation with 1,532 P-Cards. Across all state agencies, the total workforce comprises 52,667 employees with 5,084 active P-Cards and 70 business travel cards in circulation.

The data reflects the current state of procurement card utilization and employee headcount across Missouri's executive and judicial branches. This inventory serves as a baseline for understanding card distribution patterns, with some agencies such as Conservation and Transportation showing significantly higher card usage relative to their employee populations, suggesting different operational models or procurement practices. The smaller agencies, including the Lieutenant Governor's office with 18 employees and the State Treasurer's Office with 42 employees, maintain minimal card inventories. This comprehensive snapshot enables state leadership and procurement officials to assess card management practices and identify opportunities for standardization or operational adjustments across the state government structure.
