Certified cost or pricing data — pre-July 2018 contracts

$950,000was ~~$750,000~~ until 1 Oct 2025

Citation: FAR 15.403-4(a)(1); 41 U.S.C. 3502(a)
Last moved: 1 October 2025, from $750,000
Checked: 2 November 2026, against the codified FAR and, where it leads the FAR, the statute
Note: Two live FAR thresholds, split by whether the contract was awarded before or after 1 July 2018, and both get inflation-adjusted. DoD is different now: the FY2026 NDAA rewrote 10 U.S.C. 3702, moving its date split to 30 June 2026 and raising its modification threshold to $10 million, while the FAR text has not caught up.

A civilian agency such as GSA or HHS is pricing a modification under a contract awarded in 2016. What certified cost or pricing data threshold governs, given the contract predates 1 July 2018?

$950,000 (FAR 15.403-4(a)(1); 41 U.S.C. 3502(a)), as of 2 November 2026. It was $750,000 until it moved on 1 October 2025.

Leave an address and we will email you when this figure changes, with the new amount and the citation.

One email each time it changes, and nothing else: this is not the weekly list. We send a link first to confirm the address is yours, and every alert carries a link that stops it. What we keep.

Before you rely on it: this is the codified amount in effect on 2 November 2026. Agencies on a Revolutionary FAR Overhaul class deviation use the same value under a different paragraph number, and your agency supplement can set a lower one. Check it against the current text before it goes in the file.
