What is Microconsulting?
Microconsulting is an emerging practice where consulting services are provided to federal agencies on contracts valued below the micropurchase threshold.
As an alternative to painstakingly detailing program requirements and enduring the lengthy acquisition process, decision makers can now deal directly with consulting firms on work scopes for up to $10,000.
What Changed?
This modernization in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements on contracts for services began in 2017 when the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) raised the micropurchase threshold for civilian agencies from $3,000 to $10,000. The DoD followed suit in 2018. The threshold is now large enough to reasonably accommodate contracts for many types of services
Why is it so much faster?
FAR 13.2 Micropurchase procedures provide speed and convenience in contracting by:
1) Eliminating contract clauses
2) Allowing awards without competition, public solicitation, or public notice
3) Encouraging use of Government Purchase cards whenever possible
These procedures allow non-buyers to immediately award contracts within limits
