2026Year6Month25Day, the U.S. White House Office of Management and Budget officially released the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FARRevise the plan and implement annual innovation policies for science and technology. Through institutional reform, address the pain points of cumbersome federal R&D procurement processes and long conversion cycles to accelerate the commercialization of technological innovations. This reform is a key initiative to optimize the U.S. government's R&D procurement system and strengthen public-private innovation collaboration.

This reform significantly streamlines procurement approval by condensing the previous five-page written procurement planning guidelines into a single-page practical guide and allowing verbal procurement planning in compliant scenarios, greatly reducing time costs for small and mid-sized tech startups engaging with federal projects. For high-value project audits, the new policy replaces the mandatory uniform audit model with a risk-based tiered control mechanism, precisely exempting low-risk projects from redundant audit procedures.

This reform addresses pain points faced by tech startups, breaks through institutional barriers in traditional federal procurement, shortens the timeline for transitioning new technologies and innovations from labs to government and defense applications, reduces compliance costs for startups participating in public projects, further strengthens the U.S. ecosystem for commercializing technological innovation, and energizes market-driven startup activity.
