Streamlining FEMA Procurement Procedures Act of 2025

United States119th CongressHR-5533House of Representatives
Updated: Sep 20, 2025

Summary

This bill mandates the President to establish regulations within 180 days of enactment. These regulations will enable local governments to utilize Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) procurement methods for activities carried out under Section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The aim is to provide greater flexibility in how local entities acquire necessary goods and services for disaster recovery and reconstruction. The CMAR methods permitted will encompass qualifications-based procurement procedures for various acquisitions, including professional, technical, construction-related, and non-professional services. Furthermore, the bill significantly amends Section 422(a) of the Stafford Act by increasing the simplified procedure threshold from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 , thereby streamlining the process for smaller-scale projects.
