Effective 8/31/20 there are two new funding thresholds for federal contractors to be aware of.
1) The micro-purchase threshold (MPT) is raised from $3,500 to $10,000.
2) The increase of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) from $150,000 to $250,000.
The proposed rule effecting this change, published October 2, 2019, permitted agencies to issue deviations to the MPT and SAT to increase the thresholds. This final rule changes the FAR definitions for these terms found at FAR 2.101.
The GSA has issued a temporary waiver of certain MAS solicitation requirements to support the government’s response to COVID-19. This is especially relevant to vendors who already have a schedule, and are seeking to add SINs to expand their offerings.
GSA reduces the burden of renewal for schedule holders by granting 180-day extension for SAM.gov registrations with expiration dates ranging from 4/1-9/30
April 1, 2021, GSA removes legacy categories/SINs from the GSA eBuy seller profile page. Only those listed as POCs can login to GSA eBuy.
