1.109 Statutory acquisition–related dollar thresholds-adjustment for inflation.
-
(a) 41 U.S.C. 1908 requires that the FAR Council periodically adjust all statutory acquisition-related dollar thresholds in the FAR for inflation, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section. This adjustment is calculated every 5 years, starting in October 2005, using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all-urban consumers, and supersedes the applicability of any other provision of law that provides for the adjustment of such acquisition-related dollar thresholds.
-
(b) The statute defines an acquisition-related dollar threshold as a dollar threshold that is specified in law as a factor in defining the scope of the applicability of a policy, procedure, requirement, or restriction provided in that law to the procurement of supplies or services by an executive agency, as determined by the FAR Council.
-
(c) The statute does not permit escalation of acquisition-related dollar thresholds established by:
-
(1) 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter IV, Wage Rate Requirements (Construction);
-
(2) 41 U.S.C. chapter 67, Service Contract Labor Standards; or
-
(3) The United States Trade Representative pursuant to the authority of the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 ( 19 U.S.C. 2511 et seq.).
