Abstract

DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement the statute that requires an adjustment every 5 years of statutory acquisition-related thresholds for inflation. The adjustment uses the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers and does not apply to the Construction Wage Rate Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), Service Contract Labor Standards statute, performance and payment bonds, and trade agreements thresholds. DoD also used the same methodology to adjust some nonstatutory DFARS acquisition-related thresholds in 2025.

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement: Inflation 
Adjustment of Acquisition-Related Thresholds (DFARS Case 2024-D002)

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense 
(DoD).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DoD is issuing a final rule amending the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to further implement the 
statute that requires an adjustment every 5 years of statutory 
acquisition-related thresholds for inflation. The adjustment uses the 
Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers and does not apply to the 
Construction Wage Rate Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), Service 
Contract Labor Standards statute, performance and payment bonds, and 
trade agreements thresholds. DoD also used the same methodology to 
adjust some nonstatutory DFARS acquisition-related thresholds in 2025.

DATES: Effective October 1, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kimberly R. Ziegler, telephone 
703-901-3176.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    This final rule amends multiple DFARS parts to further implement 41 
U.S.C. 1908. Section 1908 requires an adjustment every five years (on 
October 1 of each year evenly divisible by five) of statutory 
acquisition-related thresholds for inflation, using the Consumer Price 
Index (CPI) for all urban consumers, except for the Construction Wage 
Rate Requirements statute (Davis-Bacon Act), Service Contract Labor 
Standards statute, performance and payment bonds, and trade agreements 
thresholds (see FAR 1.109). As a matter of policy, DoD is also using 
the same methodology to adjust nonstatutory DFARS acquisition-related 
thresholds on October 1, 2025. Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
Case 2024-001 provides comparable changes to acquisition-related 
thresholds in the FAR.
    DoD published a proposed rule in the Federal Register at 90 FR 5799 
on January 17, 2025. The preamble to the proposed rule contained 
detailed explanation of--
    <bullet> What an acquisition-related threshold is;
    <bullet> What acquisition-related thresholds are not subject to 
escalation adjustment under this case; and
    <bullet> How DoD analyzes escalation of statutory and non-statutory 
acquisition-related thresholds.
    This is the fifth review of DFARS acquisition-related thresholds 
since the statute was enacted on October 28, 2004 (section 807 of the 
Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2005). The last review was conducted under DFARS Case 2019-D036 during 
fiscal year (FY) 2020. The final rule under that case was published in 
the Federal Register on September 29, 2020 (85 FR 61502), effective 
October 1, 2020.
    No respondents submitted public comments in response to the 
proposed rule.

II. Discussion and Analysis

    DoD has historically used the March CPI as the factor to calculate 
the final escalatory amounts, although the statute does not specify a 
certain month. The proposed rule estimated the March 2025 CPI for all 
urban consumers at 323.193. The actual March 2025 CPI was 319.799. This 
final rule uses the April 2025 CPI of 320.795. DoD has elected to use 
the April 2025 CPI because the April CPI was available for use in the 
final rule, and it provides a more accurate reflection of inflation. As 
a result, the thresholds at DFARS 205.303(a)(i), 211.503(b), 
217.171(d), 217.172, 225.7201, 250.102-1, and the solicitation 
provision at DFARS 252.225-7003 will not escalate to the extent 
provided in the proposed rule.
    Some thresholds published in the proposed rule were very close but 
did not reach the statutory calculation formula amount for escalation 
and are removed from this final rule. DoD has removed the proposed 
escalation for the thresholds described at DFARS 206.303-1 through 
206.304, 219.808, 236.601, and 237.170-2. DoD also corrected the 
statutory citation and basis for escalation at 237.170-2, which reduced 
the outcome of the escalation calculation.

III. Applicability to Contracts at or Below the Simplified Acquisition 
Threshold (SAT), for Commercial Products (Including Commercially 
Available Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Items), and for Commercial Services

    This final rule amends the provisions and clause at DFARS 252.204-
7007, Alternate A, Annual Representations and Certifications; 252.215-
7016, Notification to Offerors--Postaward Debriefings; 252.216-7010, 
Postaward Debriefings for Task Orders and Delivery Orders; and 252.225-
7003, Report of Intended Performance Outside the United States and 
Canada--Submission with Offer. However, the rule does not impose any 
new requirements on contracts at or below the SAT, for commercial 
products including COTS items, or for commercial services. This final 
rule does not change the applicability of the provisions and clause to 
acquisitions at or below the SAT, to acquisitions of commercial 
products including or excluding COTS items, and to acquisitions of 
commercial services.

[[Page 41484]]

IV. Expected Impact of the Rule

    DoD does not expect this final rule 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. The escalation of statutory acquisition-related thresholds 
is mandated by 41 U.S.C. 1908, including how to calculate the 
escalation. DoD expects this rule to provide the adjustments necessary 
to mitigate the impact of inflation on both the public and the 
Government as intended under 41 U.S.C. 1908. The rule does not change 
direction to contracting officers, nor does it change the applicability 
of any requirements for offerors and contractors.

V. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563

    Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess 
all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). E.O. 
13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, 
of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. 
This is not a significant regulatory action and, therefore, was not 
subject to review under section 6(b) of E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning 
and Review, as amended.

VI. Executive Order 14192

    This final rule is not subject to E.O. 14192, because the final 
rule is not a significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866.

VII. Congressional Review Act

    As required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808) 
before an interim or final rule takes effect, DoD will submit a copy of 
the interim or final rule with the form, Submission of Federal Rules 
Under the Congressional Review Act, to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House 
of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States. A 
major rule under the Congressional Review Act cannot take effect until 
60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. The Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule is not 
a major rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804.

VIII. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    A final regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared 
consistent with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. 
and is summarized as follows:
    This final rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement (DFARS) to implement 41 U.S.C. 1908 and to amend other 
acquisition-related dollar thresholds that are based on policy rather 
than statute in order to adjust for the changing value of the dollar. 
The statute at 41 U.S.C. 1908 requires adjustment every 5 years of 
statutory acquisition-related dollar thresholds, 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. The 
objective of the rule is to maintain the status quo by adjusting 
acquisition-related thresholds for inflation.
    There were no significant issues raised by the public in response 
to the initial regulatory flexibility analysis provided in the proposed 
rule.
    This final rule will have a minimal impact on small entities that 
submit offers or are awarded contracts by DoD. However, most of the 
threshold changes in this rule are not expected to have any significant 
economic impact on small entities because the threshold changes are 
intended to maintain the status quo by adjusting for changes in the 
value of the dollar. Often any impact will be beneficial, by preventing 
burdensome requirements from applying to more and more acquisitions, as 
the dollar loses value.
    According to the System for Award Management (SAM), as of December 
2023, there were 361,685 entities registered as small businesses under 
any North American Industry Classification System code. This final rule 
assumes that any of the 361,685 small entities registered in SAM may 
experience some benefit from a reduction in burden as a result of the 
changes.
    The final rule does not impose any new reporting, recordkeeping, or 
compliance requirements.
    There are no practical alternatives that will accomplish the 
objectives of the statute.

IX. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35) applies to this 
final rule. However, these changes to the DFARS do not impose 
additional information collection requirements to the paperwork burden 
previously approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 
OMB Control Number 9000-0189, entitled Certain Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Part 4 Requirements: FAR Sections Affected 52.204-3, 52.204-

25. Revise and republish section 236.303-1 to read as follows:


236.303-1  Phase one.

    (a)(4) In lieu of the limitations on the maximum number of offerors 
that may be selected to submit phase-two proposals at FAR 36.303-
1(a)(4), for DoD--
    (i) If the contract value exceeds $5.5 million, the maximum number 
of offerors specified in the solicitation that are to be selected to 
submit phase-two proposals shall not exceed five, unless--
    (A) The solicitation is issued for an indefinite-delivery 
indefinite-quantity contract for design-build construction; or
    (B) The head of the contracting activity, delegable to a level no 
lower than the senior contracting official within the contracting 
activity, approves the contracting officer's decision with respect to 
an individual solicitation, that a maximum number greater than five is
