Procurement Thresholds for Implementation of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979
Published Date: 2/3/2026
Notice
Summary
Starting in 2026 and through 2027, the U.S. Trade Representative updated the dollar amounts that decide when certain trade rules kick in for government buying. This affects businesses and governments involved in trade deals like USMCA, Australia, and others. The new thresholds make sure the rules match current economic data, so contracts above these amounts follow trade agreements smoothly.
