New Government Purchasing Rules: Value Over Cost

This act changes how the U.S. government makes purchases. Instead of always choosing the cheapest option, it can now also consider "best value," meaning quality and suitability will be as important as a low price. This aims to better utilize taxpayer money and ensure the government receives products and services that best meet its needs.
Key points
The government can now purchase products and services that offer the best value, not just the lowest cost.
This change aims to improve the quality of government purchases and ensure more effective use of taxpayer money.
