In Committee
Summary
Expands procurement options and raises small-purchase limits for FEMA disaster recovery. This bill would let local governments use Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) procurement for projects under section 406 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act and raise the simplified procurement threshold from $1 million to $3 million.
Show full summary
- Local governments: Could use CM@R for section 406 activities, and the $3.0 million simplified procurement threshold lets them apply streamlined procurement rules to larger contracts.
- Contractors and construction firms: Greater authorization of CM@R and qualifications-based procurement could change how firms compete for disaster-recovery work across professional, technical, construction, and non-professional services.
- FEMA and recovery operations: Broadens purchasing options for goods and services needed to complete section 406 projects, which could increase flexibility and speed in post-disaster contracting.

Faster disaster contracts for towns and builders
This bill would give local governments more ways to hire for FEMA repair projects. For section 406 rebuilding, they could use a construction manager at risk and qualifications-based hiring. The President would have 180 days after enactment to issue those rules. It would also raise the simplified buying limit from $1 million to $3 million under the Stafford Act. This could speed repairs and cut bid costs for small contractors.
