Federal Tech Procurement Overhaul: Faster Buying, More Opportunities for Small Business.

This Act streamlines how the federal government purchases technology, including cloud services, AI, and cybersecurity solutions. It raises the limits for simplified purchasing procedures, aiming to increase efficiency in public spending and improve the quality of digital services provided to citizens. Crucially, it reduces bureaucratic hurdles, making it easier for small businesses to compete for and win government contracts.
Key points
The limit for simplified technology purchases by federal agencies is raised from $250,000 to $500,000, speeding up government system modernization.
Small businesses gain easier access to contracts as agencies must accept relevant private sector or non-government experience (past performance).
Mandatory specialized training is established for procurement officials, focusing on modern technologies (AI, cloud) and preventing waste and fraud.
The micro-purchase limit increases from $10,000 to $25,000, and advance payments for cloud subscriptions are now permitted.
