Bill overview
The Value Over Cost Act of 2025 aims to change how the federal government purchases goods and services. Specifically, it directs federal agencies to prioritize ‘best value’ over simply the lowest price when using the Multiple Award Schedule program. This means agencies can choose the option that offers the greatest overall benefit, considering factors beyond just cost, if it better serves the government’s needs. The bill updates existing laws to ensure this approach is consistently applied across both civilian and defense contracts.
