This bill, titled the "Ensuring Federal Purchasing Efficiency Act," proposes to amend title 41 of the United States Code to modify the frequency of adjusting certain acquisition-related dollar thresholds. Currently, these thresholds are updated only in years evenly divisible by five, such as 2025 and 2030. The legislation specifically targets Section 1908(c)(2) and mandates a more frequent adjustment schedule. Under the proposed change, these critical procurement thresholds would be updated every three years , beginning in 2028 . This amendment aims to enhance federal purchasing efficiency by ensuring that dollar thresholds for acquisitions are more regularly aligned with current economic conditions.
