10. Jennifer Schaus & Associates
Billions in Simplified Acquisitions
A simplified acquisition is described in Part 13 of the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) as the acquisition of
supplies and services, including construction, research
and development, and commercial items not exceeding the
simplified acquisition threshold.

11. Jennifer Schaus & Associates
Billions in Simplified Acquisitions
The purpose of simplified acquisition procedures are to—
(a) Reduce administrative costs;
(b) Improve opportunities for small, small disadvantaged,
women-owned, veteran-owned, HUBZone, and service-
disabled veteran-owned small business concerns to obtain a
fair proportion of Government contracts;
(c) Promote efficiency and economy in contracting; and
(d) Avoid unnecessary burdens for agencies and contractors

12. Jennifer Schaus & Associates
Billions in Simplified Acquisitions
The FAR states “Each acquisition of supplies or services that
has an anticipated dollar value exceeding $3,000 and not
exceeding $150,000 is reserved exclusively for small business
concerns and shall be set aside.”
Unless they exercise FAR Subpart 13.5!
