CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 252

119th Congress · Session 2 · July 21, 2026

A fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass

The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.

What was being voted on

119-HR-1118 — Value Over Cost Act of 2026

This bill aims to amend title 41 of the United States Code. The primary purpose is to change how the multiple award schedule program operates. Specifically, it replaces the requirement for the lowest overall cost alternative'' with a standard of `best value''.
