Streamlining Federal Contracting: Faster Procedures for All Agencies.

This law standardizes and simplifies how all federal agencies award large task and delivery contracts, extending efficient procedures previously limited mostly to the Department of Defense. The goal is to make government procurement faster and more consistent, potentially leading to more efficient use of taxpayer funds for services, including construction. It also creates an exception allowing faster single-source awards for contracts over $100 million if non-competitive procedures are already justified.
Key points
Standardized Rules: All federal agencies can now use streamlined contracting procedures previously mainly available to the Department of Defense.
Broader Scope: Simplified procedures now cover a wider range of services, including construction, moving beyond just hourly rate services.
Large Contract Awards: Easier process for awarding single-source contracts exceeding $100 million, provided the agency has already justified why competition is not required.
