Expedited Delivery Act

The "Expedited Delivery Act" seeks to accelerate federal procurement processes by broadening the circumstances under which agencies can utilize non-competitive contracting. It amends Title 10 of the U.S. Code to allow for non-competitive awards when market research demonstrates that a property or service provides differentiated capabilities, accelerated delivery schedules, or continuous improvements . Furthermore, this legislation significantly raises the dollar thresholds for the approval of non-competitive contracts, increasing them from $10 million to $100 million and from $75 million to $500 million for various contract values. These adjustments aim to reduce administrative hurdles and expedite the acquisition of essential goods and services by requiring fewer high-level approvals for larger non-competitive awards.
