This bill modifies the federal acquisition rules by adding sections 3131 through 3134 of title 41 to a list of contracts that will not receive the usual periodic inflation adjustments to the dollar threshold used for certain procurement procedures. The change means that contracts falling under those sections will keep their original threshold amounts, affecting federal agencies that award such contracts and the contractors who work under them.

Key Provisions

  • Amends subparagraph (B) of section 1908(b)(2) of title 41 to insert “3131 to 3134,” thereby exempting contracts covered by those sections from periodic inflation adjustments to the acquisition‑related dollar threshold.
