Ensuring Federal Purchasing Efficiency Act
Sponsored By: Representative Fallon, Pat [R-TX-4]
In Committee
Summary
This bill would set a three-year cycle for updating federal acquisition dollar thresholds, starting in 2028. It would amend 41 U.S.C. 1908(c)(2) by replacing the timing tied to years evenly divisible by five with the phrase '2028, and every 3 years thereafter'. The change affects only the schedule for adjusting acquisition-related dollar thresholds used in federal procurement. It does not change the underlying threshold amounts, definitions, programs, funding authorizations, eligibility rules, or enforcement mechanisms in Title 41. The section adds no new programs, appropriations, or tax changes.

New 3-Year Update Schedule for Contract Limits
This bill would change how often federal procurement dollar thresholds are updated. It would set the first adjustment in 2028 and require updates every three years after that. It would replace the current rule that updates thresholds only in years evenly divisible by five. It would not change the threshold amounts, programs, eligibility rules, funding, or enforcement — only the timing of updates. Federal agencies and businesses that bid on contracts, including small firms, would be affected.
