Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT)[1]

The Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) is $150,000. However, a contingency operation or facilitating defense against or recovery from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack, the SAT is

  • (i) $300,000 for contracts awarded and performed, or purchases made, inside the United States; and
  • (ii) $1 million for contracts awarded and performed, or purchases made, outside the United States.

Definition - DFARS[2]

“Simplified acquisition threshold,” in addition to the meaning at FAR 2.101, means $300,000 when soliciting or awarding contracts to be awarded and performed outside the United States, or making purchases outside the United States, for acquisitions of supplies and services that, as determined by the head of the contracting activity, are to be used to support a humanitarian or peacekeeping operation, as defined at FAR 2.101.
