Supplementary Information

A summary for the FAR rule follows. For the actual revisions and/or amendments made by this FAR rule, refer to the specific subject set forth in the document preceding this summary. FAC 2025-06 amends the FAR as follows: Inflation Adjustment of Acquisition-Related Thresholds (FAR Case 2024-001) This final rule amends the FAR to further implement 41 U.S.C. 1908. Section 1908 requires an adjustment, for inflation, every 5 years (in years evenly divisible by 5) of statutory acquisition-related thresholds using the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, except for the Construction Wage Rate Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), Service Contract Labor Standards statute, performance and payment bonds (formerly the Miller Act), and trade agreements thresholds (see FAR 1.109). OFPP, DoD, GSA, and NASA are also using the same methodology to change nonstatutory FAR acquisition-related thresholds for 2025. The final rule is not expected to have a significant impact on the public or the Government because the rule is intended to maintain the status quo by adjusting acquisition-related thresholds for inflation.
