Buy-to-Budget Flexibility Act

The Buy-to-Budget Flexibility Act, introduced in the Senate (S. 2138, 119th Congress), seeks to modify the current buy-to-budget requirements for end items in law. The provided text shows the bill would make substantial changes to 10 U.S.C. § 3069 by removing certain provisions and reorganizing how those provisions are labeled. In short, the bill’s intent appears to be to reduce the procedural and definitional constraints around how end items are purchased within budget limits, potentially giving agencies more flexibility to procure or assemble end items without being locked into the existing set of buy-to-budget requirements. Because only a portion of the full text is available here, the exact mechanisms and new rules are not fully specified. What is clear from the excerpt is that several subsections would be struck and the designation of a subsection would be altered, indicating a significant restructuring of the statutory framework governing buy-to-budget and end-item purchases.
