About Simplified Acquisition Contract
Procurement officers use the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) to review federal contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. FAPIIS is a system that is designed for large vendors requiring many hours to be updated for each awarded contract. Simplified acquisition contacts are designed for small businesses and can be awarded without the contracting officer referencing FAPIIS since they are under the $150,000.00 threshold. Simplified Acquisition Contracts give an edge to businesses with limited or no past performance in that they by-pass FAPIIS which is a past performance retrieval system. Simplified Acquisition contracts offer an easier federal buying process for both the purchasing officer and small business vendor. Unlike a normal bid where vendors must supply an exact quotation for the services or goods, a simplified acquisition contract allows Procurement Officers to pay with SMART Pay Cards or blanket purchase agreements. Simplified Acquisition purchases, like micro-purchase agreements, simplified acquisition contracts can be issued immediately and in large volume if required. The Simplified Acquisition Program allows business to receive Federal Contracts under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
