Get told when this figure moves

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.
