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.

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

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!

• Great way to develop relationships.
• Lower risk for Government and Industry.
• Most often RFQ versus RFP.
• Time from “problem-to-purchase” is shorter.
• No contract vehicle needed.*
• Inherent small business preference.
• Past performance.
