Federal Acquisition Regulation: 

Inflation Adjustment of AcquisitionRelated Thresholds 

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD), 

General Services Administration (GSA), 

and National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: DoD, GSA, and NASA are 

proposing to amend the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to further 

implement the statute, which requires 

an adjustment every five years of 

statutory acquisition-related thresholds 

for inflation. The adjustment uses the 

Consumer Price Index for all urban 

consumers and does not apply to the 

Construction Wage Rate Requirements 

statute (Davis-Bacon Act), Service 

Contract Labor Standards statute, 

performance and payment bonds, and 

trade agreements thresholds. DoD, GSA, 

and NASA are also proposing to use the 

same methodology to adjust 

nonstatutory FAR acquisition-related 

thresholds in 2025. 

DATES: Interested parties should submit 

written comments to the Regulatory 

Secretariat Division at the address 

shown below on or before January 28, 

2025 to be considered in the formation 

of the final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

This rule proposes to amend multiple 

FAR parts to further implement 41 

U.S.C. 1908. Section 1908 requires an 

adjustment every five years (on October 

1 of each year evenly divisible by five) 

of statutory acquisition-related 

thresholds for inflation, using the 

Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all urban 

consumers, except for the Construction 

Wage Rate Requirements statute (DavisBacon Act), Service Contract Labor 

Standards statute, performance and 

payment bonds, and trade agreements 

thresholds (see FAR 1.109). As a matter 

of policy, DoD, GSA, and NASA are also 

proposing to use the same methodology 

to adjust nonstatutory FAR acquisitionrelated thresholds on October 1, 2025. 

This is the fifth review of FAR 

acquisition-related thresholds since the 

statute was passed on October 28, 2004 

(section 807 of the Ronald W. Reagan 

National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2005). The last review was 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with PROPOSALS
94650 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

conducted under FAR Case 2019–013 

during fiscal year (FY) 2020. The final 

rule under that case was published in 

the Federal Register on October 2, 2020 

(85 FR 62485), effective October 1, 2020. 

II. Discussion and Analysis 

A. What is an acquisition-related 

threshold? 

This case builds on the review of FAR 

thresholds in FY 2005, FY 2010, FY 

2015, and FY 2020, using the same 

interpretation of an acquisition-related 

threshold. 41 U.S.C. 1908 is applicable 

to ‘‘a dollar threshold that is specified 

in law as a factor in defining the scope 

of the applicability of a policy, 

procedure, requirement, or restriction 

provided in that law to the procurement 

of property or services by an executive 

agency, as the Federal Acquisition 

Regulatory Council (the Council) 

determines.’’ 

There are other thresholds in the FAR 

that, while not specified in law, 

nevertheless meet all the other criteria. 

These thresholds may have their origin 

in Executive order or regulation. 

Therefore, the Council has determined 

that in this case ‘‘acquisition-related 

threshold’’ has a broader meaning, i.e., 

a threshold that is specified in law, 

Executive order, or regulation as a factor 

in defining the scope of the applicability 

of a policy, procedure, requirement, or 

restriction provided in that law, 

Executive order, or regulation to the 

procurement of property or services by 

an Executive agency. DoD, GSA, and 

NASA conclude that acquisition-related 

thresholds are generally tied to the 

value of a contract, subcontract, or 

modification. 

This rule does not address thresholds 

that are not acquisition-related. 

Examples of thresholds that are not 

‘‘acquisition-related,’’ as defined in this 

proposed rule, include thresholds 

relating to claims, penalties, 

withholding, payments, required levels 

of insurance, small business size 

standards, liquidated damages, and 

protests. 

B. What acquisition-related thresholds 

are not subject to escalation adjustment 

under this case? 

41 U.S.C. 1908 does not permit 

escalation of acquisition-related 

thresholds established by the 

Construction Wage Rate Requirements 

statute (Davis Bacon Act), the Service 

Contract Labor Standards statute, 

performance and payment bonds 

(formerly the Miller Act), or the United 

States Trade Representative pursuant to 

the authority of the Trade Agreements 

Act of 1979. 

Also, the statute does not authorize 

the FAR to escalate thresholds 

originating in Executive order or the 

implementing agency (such as the 

Department of Labor or the Small 

Business Administration), unless the 

Executive order or agency regulations 

are first amended. 

C. How do the Defense Acquisition 

Regulations Council and the Civilian 

Agency Acquisition Council (the 

Councils) analyze a statutory 

acquisition-related threshold? 

If an acquisition-related threshold is 

based on statute, the matrix at https:// 

www.regulations.gov identifies the 

statute and the statutory threshold, 

including the original threshold and any 

FAR revisions. 

With the exception of thresholds set 

by the Construction Wage Rate 

Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), 

Service Contract Labor Standards 

statute, performance and payment 

bonds (formerly the Miller Act), and the 

United States Trade Representative 

pursuant to the authority of the Trade 

Agreements Act of 1979, 41 U.S.C. 1908 

requires that the Councils adjust the 

acquisition-related thresholds for 

inflation using the CPI for all urban 

consumers. Acquisition-related 

thresholds in statutes that were in effect 

on October 1, 2000, are only subject to 

escalation from that date forward. For 

purposes of this proposed rule, the 

matrix includes calculation of escalation 

based on the estimated CPI value for 

March 2025 (currently projected at 

323.193) divided by the CPI for the date 

of enactment of the statute or regulation 

(October 2000, for statutes enacted prior 

to October 1, 2000). The Councils will 

subsequently adjust as necessary before 

issuance of the final rule. 

Once the escalation factor is applied 

to the acquisition-related threshold, 

then the threshold must be rounded as 

follows: 

<$10,000 ................... Nearest $500. 

$10,000–<$100,000 .. Nearest $5,000. 

$100,000–<$1 million Nearest $50,000. 

$1 million–<$10 million.Nearest $500,000. 

$10 million–<$100 

million.

Nearest $5 million. 

$100 million–<$1 billion.Nearest $50 million. 

$1 billion or more ...... Nearest $500 million. 

The calculations in this proposed rule 

are all based on the base year amount, 

because escalated amounts in the 2020 

rule were subject to rounding. 

Therefore, using those amounts as the 

base would distort future calculations. 

In 2020, some thresholds, although 

subject to inflation calculation, did not 

actually change, because the inflation in 

2020 was insufficient to overcome the 

rounding requirements—i.e., the 

escalation factor when applied did not 

cause the escalated values to be high 

enough to round to the next higher 

value. However, in FY 2025 many 

thresholds that did not escalate in 2020 

have increased through other statutory 

actions or will now escalate because of 

five additional years of inflation. 

Likewise, some thresholds that were 

escalated in 2020 will not escalate in 

2025. 

The thresholds for defining a major 

system differ for the civilian agencies 

and DoD. The FAR will continue to 

escalate the major systems threshold for 

the civilian agencies; however, DoD has 

determined that for DoD the major 

systems thresholds in the FAR must be 

consistent with the major systems 

thresholds in DoD Instruction 5000.85, 

Major Capability Acquisition, 

established in accordance with the 

authority in 10 U.S.C. 3041. For the 

purposes of this rule, the thresholds are 

unchanged. 

This proposed rule has been 

coordinated with the Department of 

Labor and the Small Business 

Administration in areas of the 

regulation for which they are the lead 

agency. 

D. How do the Councils analyze a 

nonstatutory acquisition-related 

threshold? 

No statutory authorization is required 

to escalate thresholds that are policybased within the FAR. For consistency, 

escalation of the FAR policy-based 

acquisition-related thresholds is 

recommended using the same formula 

applied to the statutory thresholds, 

unless there is a valid reason for not 

doing so. 

E. What is the effect of this proposed 

rule on the most heavily-used 

thresholds? 

This rule includes the following 

proposed changes to heavily-used 

thresholds. All these inflation increases 

assume that the current rate of inflation 

continues. 

• The micro-purchase threshold at 

FAR 2.101 will increase from $10,000 to 

$15,000. Paragraphs (3)(i) and (ii) of the 

definition, for acquisitions to support 

contingency operations or to facilitate 

defense against certain attacks, are 

proposed to increase from $20,000 to 

$25,000 and from $35,000 to $40,000, 

respectively. Paragraph (4)(i), for 

acquisitions from institutions of higher 

education, nonprofit entities, or 

nonprofit and independent research 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules 94651 

activities, is proposed to increase from 

$10,000 to $15,000. 

• The simplified acquisition 

threshold will increase from $250,000 to 

$350,000. Paragraphs (1)(i) and (ii) of 

the definition, for acquisitions to 

support contingency operations or to 

facilitate defense against certain attacks, 

are proposed to increase from $800,000 

to $1 million and from $1.5 million to 

$2 million, respectively. Paragraph (2) 

of the definition, for acquisitions to 

support humanitarian or peacekeeping 

operations, is proposed to increase from 

$500,000 to $650,000. 

• The threshold for reporting first-tier 

subcontract information including 

executive compensation (FAR subpart 

4.14) will increase from $30,000 to 

$40,000. 

• The preaward and postaward 

notices (FAR part 5) remain at $25,000 

because of trade agreements. 

• The threshold requirement for 

limiting competition (FAR part 6) to 

eligible 8(a) awards over $25 million is 

increased to $30 million. 

• Approval thresholds of 

justifications for other than full and 

open competition (FAR 6.304) will 

increase from $750,000 to $950,000. 

Paragraphs (a)(3) and (4) will increase 

from $15 million to $20 million and 

from $75 million to $95 million, 

respectively. The $100 million 

threshold applicable to DoD, NASA, and 

the Coast Guard will increase to $150 

million. 

• The ceiling for using simplified 

procedures for certain commercial 

products and commercial services (FAR 

13.500) will increase from $7.5 million 

to $9.5 million. For acquisitions 

described at FAR 13.500(c), the ceiling 

will increase from $15 million to $20 

million. 

• The cost or pricing data threshold 

(FAR 15.403–4) will increase from $2 

million to $2.5 million. 

• The threshold for justifications of 

single-award indefinite-delivery 

contracts (FAR 16.504(c)(1)(ii)(D)(1)) 

will increase from $100 million to $150 

million. 

• The prime contractor 

subcontracting plan (FAR 19.702) floor 

will increase from $750,000 to $950,000. 

The construction threshold will increase 

from $1.5 million to $2 million. 

This proposed rule is based on a 

projected CPI of 323.193 for March 

2025. If the actual CPI for March 2025 

is higher than 323.193, then additional 

statutory thresholds may be subject to 

escalation in the final rule, even though 

not included in the proposed rule. 

III. Applicability to Contracts at or 

Below the Simplified Acquisition 

Threshold (SAT) and for Commercial 

Products (Including Commercially 

Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items) 

or for Commercial Services 

This proposed rule does not create 

any new provisions or clauses, nor does 

it change the applicability of any 

existing provisions or clauses included 

in solicitations and contracts valued at 

or below the SAT, or for commercial 

products, including COTS items, or for 

commercial services. 

IV. Expected Impact of the Rule 

The proposed rule is not expected to 

have a significant impact on the public 

or the Government because the rule is 

intended to maintain the status quo by 

adjusting acquisition-related thresholds 

for inflation. The escalation of statutory 

acquisition-related thresholds is 

mandated by 41 U.S.C. 1908, including 

how to calculate the escalation. The 

impact on heavily-used FAR thresholds 

is described in Section II.E. of this 

preamble. 

The most impactful threshold 

escalations will likely be associated 

with the proposed increases to the 

micro-purchase threshold (MPT) and 

SAT. According to data from the Federal 

Procurement Data System (FPDS), the 

average number of Federal awards 

valued at or below the current MPT 

($10,000) during FY 2022 through FY 

2024 was approximately 562,324. Those 

actions were awarded to approximately 

18,440 unique entities. For the same 

period, FPDS data indicates that 

between the current MPT and the 

proposed threshold value of $15,000, 

another 49,321 awards were made to 

approximately 13,788 unique entities. 

While it is unclear how much 

duplication there is between the unique 

entities for each data point, the data 

illustrates an approximate 9 percent 

increase in the number of actions that 

would be considered under the MPT. 

For actions above the current MPT but 

valued at or below the current SAT 

($250,000), FPDS data for the same 

period indicates that an average of 

235,020 contract actions were awarded 

to approximately 48,686 unique entities. 

According to FPDS data between the 

current SAT and the proposed threshold 

value of $350,000, another 5,150 (2 

percent) contract actions could be 

awarded to approximately 3,580 entities 

using the flexibilities afforded to 

contracts at or below the SAT. 

While not significant in number or 

percentage, the data appears to illustrate 

slight decreases in the number of 

contract actions that were valued at or 

under the MPT for each of the reported 

fiscal years. However, the number of 

contract actions having a value between 

the MPT and the SAT have increased 

slightly. DoD, GSA, and NASA assume 

that these changes, however 

insignificant, illustrate that the value of 

Federal procurements have increased, 

resulting in more regulatory burden on 

offerors and contractors. 

DoD, GSA, and NASA expect this 

proposed rule to provide the 

adjustments necessary to mitigate the 

impact of inflation on both the public 

and the Government as intended under 

41 U.S.C. 1908. The rule does not 

change direction to contracting officers, 

nor does it change the applicability of 

any requirements for offerors and 

contractors. 

V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 (as 

amended by E.O. 14094) and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. This is not a significant 

regulatory action and, therefore, was not 

subject to review under section 6(b) of 

E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. 

VI. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect 

this rule to have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities within the meaning of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601– 

612, because the rule maintains the 

status quo by adjusting thresholds for 

actual inflationary increases in the CPI. 

However, an Initial Regulatory 

Flexibility Analysis has been performed 

and is summarized as follows: 

This proposed rule will amend the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement 

41 U.S.C. 1908 and to amend other 

acquisition-related dollar thresholds that are 

based on policy rather than statute in order 

to adjust for the changing value of the dollar. 

41 U.S.C. 1908 requires adjustment every 5 

years of statutory acquisition-related dollar 

thresholds, except for Construction Wage 

Rate Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), 

Service Contract Labor Standards statute, 

performance and payment bonds (formerly 

the Miller Act), and trade agreements 

thresholds. While reviewing all statutory 

acquisition-related thresholds, this case 

presented an opportunity to also review all 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with PROPOSALS
94652 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

nonstatutory acquisition-related thresholds 

in the FAR that are based on policy. 

The objective of the rule is to maintain the 

status quo by adjusting acquisition-related 

thresholds for inflation. The legal basis is 41 

U.S.C. 1908. The promulgation of the FAR is 

authorized by 40 U.S.C. 121(c); 10 U.S.C. 

chapter 4 and 10 U.S.C. chapter 137 legacy 

provisions (see 10 U.S.C. 3016); and 51 

U.S.C. 20113. 

This rule will have a minimal impact on 

small entities that submit offers or are 

awarded contracts by the Federal 

Government. However, most of the threshold 

changes proposed in this rule are not 

expected to have any significant economic 

impact on small entities because the 

threshold changes are intended to maintain 

the status quo by adjusting for changes in the 

value of the dollar. Often any impact will be 

beneficial, by preventing burdensome 

requirements from applying to more and 

more acquisitions, as the dollar loses value. 

According to the System for Award 

Management (SAM), as of December 2023, 

there were 361,685 entities registered as 

small businesses under any North American 

Industry Classification System code. This 

rule assumes that any of the 361,685 small 

entities registered in SAM may experience 

some benefit from a reduction in burden as 

a result of this proposed rule. 

The rule does not impose any new 

reporting, recordkeeping, or compliance 

requirements. Changes in thresholds for 

approved information collection 

requirements are intended to maintain the 

status quo and prevent those requirements 

from increasing over time. 

The rule does not duplicate, overlap, or 

conflict with any other Federal rules. 

There are no practical alternatives that will 

accomplish the objectives of the statute. 

The Regulatory Secretariat Division 

has submitted a copy of the IRFA to the 

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration. A copy of the 

IRFA may be obtained from the 

Regulatory Secretariat Division. DoD, 

GSA, and NASA invite comments from 

small business concerns and other 

interested parties on the expected 

impact of this rule on small entities. 

DoD, GSA, and NASA will also 

consider comments from small entities 

concerning the existing regulations in 

subparts affected by the rule in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. Interested 

parties must submit such comments 

separately and should cite 5 U.S.C. 610 

(FAR Case 2024–001), in 

correspondence. 

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

apply. The proposed changes to the FAR 

do not impose new information 

collection requirements that require the 

approval of the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 

3501, et seq. By adjusting the thresholds 

for inflation, the status quo for the 

current information collection 

requirements is maintained under the 

following OMB clearance numbers: 

9000–0007, 1250–0004, and 1293–0005.
