The General Services Administration (GSA) has published Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2026-01, which includes a final rule concerning Trade Agreements Thresholds. This rule, effective March 13, 2026, updates the thresholds relevant to trade agreements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The publication also includes an introduction and a Small Entity Compliance Guide.

Federal agencies and contractors involved in procurement must review and implement the updated Trade Agreements Thresholds. Compliance with these revised thresholds is required as of the effective date. Failure to adhere to the updated thresholds could lead to non-compliance in contracting activities. The GSA provides contact information for questions regarding this FAC.
