Finding DEF-1.4
Primary record Congress required contractors to submit and certify cost or pricing data for negotiated prime contracts expected to exceed $100,000 in 1962. Section 811 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act raised the threshold for contracts awarded on or after 1 July 2018. GAO gives the new figure as $2 million, and the current FAR provision states $2.5 million. GAO reported in 2022 that DoD and NASA had not formally analyzed the effect of the increase.
