Expedited Delivery Act

This bill would let the Department of Defense buy certain goods and services without full open competition when market research shows a clear advantage—like unique features, faster delivery, or steady improvements. It also updates the paperwork rules for justifying these faster buys and raises some dollar limits for approvals, including increasing one threshold from $75 million to $500 million .

In short, it aims to speed up military purchasing when there’s a strong case that a product or service stands out and can be delivered quickly, while still requiring a written justification that is accurate and complete. The text also reorganizes parts of the existing law to match these changes .
