Bill > S2137

This bill, known as the "Expedited Delivery Act," modifies existing federal procurement regulations to expand the circumstances under which the government can use non-competitive procedures for purchasing goods and services. Specifically, the bill amends Section 3204 of Title 10 of the United States Code to allow for non-competitive procurement when market research indicates that the property or service provides differentiated capabilities, accelerated delivery schedules, or continuous improvements. The bill significantly increases the monetary thresholds for when non-competitive procedures can be used, raising the limits from $10,000,000 to $100,000,000, from $500,000 to $10,000,000, and from $75,000,000 to $500,000,000. Additionally, the bill streamlines the justification process for using non-competitive procedures, removing some existing certification requirements and simplifying the language around procurement documentation. These changes are intended to provide more flexibility for government agencies in acquiring innovative or time-sensitive technologies and services, potentially accelerating the procurement process for critical or cutting-edge items.
