Great news!!!! The U.S. Government has issued Class Deviation 2018-O0013 increasing the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) from $150K to $250K for Department of Defense (DOD) acquisitions of supplies and services.  This Class Deviation supersedes the previous deviation 2017-O0007.

This is REALLY REALLY REALLY good for both small business AND government agencies.

• Micro-Purchase threshold for DOD maintained at $5K except:
  • $10K for DOD basic research
  • $10K for higher education
  • Defense against or recovery from cyber, nuclear, biological, chemical of radiological attacks
    • $20K inside the U.S. (CONUS)

• SAT Threshold for:
  • $250K for DOD Supplies and Services
  • Defense against or recovery from cyber, nuclear, biological, chemical of radiological attacks
    • $750K inside the U.S. (CONUS)
