Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 110 / Thursday, June 10, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
The objective of the rule is to increase the threshold for requiring fair opportunity on FAR part 16 orders under multiple-award contracts from $3,500 to the word-based, micro-purchase threshold for consistency of application and alignment with future adjustments. The legal basis for the rule is section 826 of the NDAA for FY 2020 Pub.
L. 11692.
There were no significant issues raised in response to the initial regulatory flexibility analysis.
DoD, GSA, and NASA do not expect this rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; most of the impact will be on the Government.
This rule will likely affect small entities that participate in fair opportunity competitions for FAR part 16 task and delivery orders under multiple-award contracts conducted by the Federal Government between $3,500
and the micro-purchase threshold, which currently is $10,000. DoD, GSA, and NASA
do not expect a significant change in the number of orders awarded to small entities;
however, in certain circumstances this rule is expected to reduce the costs associated with developing and submitting a response to task and delivery order competitions for actions up to $10,000. To assess the impact of the threshold increase, data was obtained from FPDS. For FY 2017 through FY 2019, there was an average of 9,803 FAR part 16 task and delivery orders awarded using fair opportunity between $3,500 and $10,000. Of these actions, an average of 5,852 were awarded to 843 unique small entities. As a result of this rule, it is assumed that approximately 843 small entities may experience a reduction in proposal costs on task and delivery orders valued between $3,500 and $10,000.
This rule does not impose any reporting, recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements.
There are no alternatives that are consistent with the objectives of the statute.

Interested parties may obtain a copy of the FRFA from the Regulatory Secretariat Division. The Regulatory Secretariat Division has submitted a copy of the FRFA to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration.
VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act This rule does not contain any information collection requirements that require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act 44 U.S.C.
