- Citation
- FAR 5.101(a)(1)
- Last moved
- Long-standing; no recent change
- Checked
- 2 November 2026, against the codified FAR and, where it leads the FAR, the statute
- Note
- Did not move in the October 2025 adjustment, even though the public-posting floor beneath it went from $15,000 to $20,000. The band where you post but do not synopsize is now narrower.
A proposed open-market contract action for services, and no exception in 5.202 applies. Above what expected value must you synopsize it in the Governmentwide point of entry?
$25,000 (FAR 5.101(a)(1)), as of 2 November 2026.

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.
