Federal Times: The GSA is easing purchasing rules for relief efforts to assist with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
The micro-purchase threshold is now $20,000, the simplified acquisition threshold has been raised to $750,000, or $13 million for commercial items, and the simplified lease acquisition threshold is now $750,000.
