A Proposed Legislative Bill to Economically Index the Small Purchase Thresholds Within the Federal Government Procurement System

Abstract

This thesis examines a proposal to index the Federal procurement small purchase thresholds. The indexation mechanism within the Congressional legislative process and the indexing mechanism used by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to adjust procurement thresholds are examined. An index is selected and an appropriate indexing mechanism is developed. The indexing proposals viability is tested using the analytical framework proposed by R. Kent Weaver in Automatic Government: The Politics of Indexation. Conclusions and recommendations on the indexing proposal are provided in the final chapter. A draft legislative bill is provided at Appendix A.
