“I support this bill. Right now, the government updates its buying limits for inflation every five years. This bill changes that to every three years. It will help the government buy what it needs, make bidding more competitive, and save taxpayer money.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 7283, the Ensuring Federal Purchasing Efficiency Act, as well. Every 5 years, the Federal Government adjusts the dollar limits that they pay for certain goods and services to reflect inflation, and this bill would simply make it every 3 years. It will help ensure that the government can purchase what it needs. It will also make the government bidding process more competitive with the private sector, and it will help us get more value for our taxpayer dollars. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
