FAR Micro-Purchase Threshold
Most BooksGoat orders fall below the FAR Part 13.2 micro-purchase threshold ($10,000 for most civilian agencies; $25,000 for defense agencies under certain conditions). Orders at or below this threshold can typically be placed directly using a Government Purchase Card without a formal procurement process. Confirm thresholds with your contracting officer.
