H.R. 1118 — Value Over Cost Act of 2025
Federal Procurement
What it does
This bill amends federal procurement law to allow the General Services Administration (GSA) to prioritize 'best value' over 'lowest cost' when awarding contracts through the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program—a major federal purchasing vehicle. Instead of automatically choosing the cheapest bid, the GSA can now select vendors based on overall quality, performance, and fit if it determines that serves the government's interests better.
