41 U.S.C. § 153 — Simplified acquisition threshold for contract in support of humanitarian or peacekeeping operation
submitted 15 years ago by Pub. L. 111-350 to r/title-41-PUBLIC-CONTRACTS · 134 words · no verdicts yet
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.
In division C, the term “simplified acquisition threshold” has the meaning provided that term in section 134 of this title, except that, in the case of a contract to be awarded and performed, or purchase to be made, outside the United States in support of a humanitarian or peacekeeping operation, the term means an amount equal to two times the amount specified for that term in section 134 of this title.
In paragraph (1), the term “humanitarian or peacekeeping operation” means a military operation in support of the provision of humanitarian or foreign disaster assistance or in support of a peacekeeping operation under chapter VI or VII of the Charter of the United Nations. The term does not include routine training, force rotation, or stationing.
