The Value Over Cost Act of 2025 amends federal procurement laws to prioritize best value over lowest cost.

The Value Over Cost Act of 2025 amends title 41 and title 10 of the United States Code to change federal procurement practices. It allows the Administrator of General Services to prioritize obtaining the best value to meet the needs of the Federal Government, rather than always choosing the lowest overall cost alternative. This change applies to orders and contracts under the multiple award schedule program. The bill seeks to ensure that procurement decisions align with the best interests of the Federal Government.
