This law raises the 'simplified acquisition threshold' for certain overseas contracts. Normally that threshold is set by section 134, but for a contract or purchase abroad supporting a humanitarian or peacekeeping mission, the threshold doubles. It also defines 'humanitarian or peacekeeping operation,' and excludes routine training, force rotation, and stationing.

(1) In general. In Division C, "simplified acquisition threshold" normally has the meaning given in section 134 of this title. But for a contract awarded and performed, or a purchase made, outside the United States to support a humanitarian or peacekeeping operation, the threshold is doubled — two times the amount set in section 134. (2) Definition. A "humanitarian or peacekeeping operation" is a military operation that supports humanitarian or foreign disaster assistance, or that supports a peacekeeping operation under Chapter VI or VII of the United Nations Charter. This term does not include routine training, rotating forces, or simply stationing troops somewhere.
