Streamlining FEMA Procurement Procedures Act of 2025
This bill allows local governments to use "Construction Manager at Risk" procurement methods (a simpler process where contractors help plan and build projects) for disaster recovery work under the Stafford Act. It also raises the spending threshold from $1 million to $3 million for projects that can use simplified procurement procedures. These changes directly affect local governments managing FEMA-funded disaster recovery projects, making it easier to acquire goods and services quickly. The bill requires FEMA to issue regulations within 180 days to implement these changes.
