Limits on Micro-Purchases and Simplified Acquisition Thresholds Increased

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2018 increased the micro-purchase threshold from $3,000 to $10,000 and the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) from $150,000 to $250,000 (see 2018 NDAA Sections 806 and 805 respectively). Until the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) can be formally amended, Government agencies have been authorized to issue class deviations implementing these provision. The Energy Department has already issued its class deviation to raise these thresholds and most likely, other agencies will soon issue their own class deviations.
