Certain municipal housing authorities (as described by Section 392.0162) would only be required to follow competitive procurement procedures when purchases exceed the federal simplified acquisition threshold

The simplified acquisition threshold is defined by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 C.F.R. Section 2.101), which is currently set at $250,000

Purchases at or below the federal threshold would be exempt from state competitive procurement requirements for these specific housing authorities

Changes apply only to purchases made on or after the effective date; prior purchases remain governed by existing law

Effective date: September 1, 2025
