17805 The Inflation Adjustment of Thresholds that Pertain to FPDS-NG

FPDS-NG Inflation Adjustments of Acquisition Related Thresholds

The validation table contains the historical threshold values and the Start Date / End Date for the period during which each threshold range was active. Therefore, the Validation Rules do not need to be updated in FPDS-NG, only the validation table containing the dollar thresholds. These new thresholds shall apply based on the Date Signed of the CAR.

October 1, 2015 is the effective date of these changes. This date shall be used in the validation table to indicate the end of the old threshold range and the start of the new threshold range.

Only the following two changes were required in FPDS-NG.

The upper threshold for the Commercial Item Test Program was increased from $12,000,000 to $13,000,000.

The lower threshold of the Micro-Purchase Threshold was increased from $3,000 to $3,500.
