Revised Solicitation Thresholds

Effective July 13th, 2023, both Construction & Facilities and Goods & Services thresholds changed. The thresholds had not been changed for nine years, which caused an extreme decline in purchasing power, and few projects and/or purchases came in below the old thresholds.
