WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the House passed the Ensuring Federal Purchasing Efficiency Act introduced by Rep. Pat Fallon (TX-04). This bill requires the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council to adjust certain acquisition-related dollar thresholds for inflation every three years instead of every five years.

“Our House majority promised the American people that we would work to make the federal government more streamlined and efficient,” commented Rep. Pat Fallon. “It’s our duty to deliver on this promise to the American taxpayer, which is why I’m glad to join my House colleagues in passing my Ensuring Federal Purchasing Efficiency Act, which would afford the federal government the ability to make more frequent inflation-related adjustments with regard to acquiring goods and services. This would help the federal government save taxpayer dollars spent on administrative costs and clean up the procurement policies that hamper small businesses that deal with federal agencies. The federal government must have a better handle on how it spends taxpayer dollars, and my bill is a strong step forward towards increasing bureaucratic efficiency.”
