Chairman's Mark of NDAA FY 2027: Modify Threshold for Berry Amendment

Sec. 811(a) would amend section 3702 of title 10, United States Code and section 1908 of title 41, United States Code, by requiring the inflation adjustment of acquisition-related dollar threshold to occur every 3 years instead of every 5 years.

BACKGROUND

Section 817 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 (Public Law 116–283) decoupled Berry from the SAT, set the Berry Small Purchase Threshold at $150,000, and provides for quinquennial inflation adjustment.

This Small Purchase Threshold is found at DFAR 225.7002-2.

Effective October 1, 2025, the Berry threshold (225.7002-2) was inflation-adjusted to $200,000.
