What this bill would do
This Act is titled the "Ensuring Federal Purchasing Efficiency Act." It proposes an amendment to title 41 of the United States Code. Specifically, it aims to change the time period used for adjusting certain acquisition-related dollar thresholds. The bill seeks to strike the current requirement for adjustments every five years. Instead, it replaces that with a schedule starting in 2028 and occurring every 3 years thereafter.
