Procurement professionals involved in the establishment of policy manuals must ensure they NOT do which of the following?

Are compliant with best practices. Are responsive and adaptive to their environments. Act in the best interest of the government. Increase procurement thresholds to enable more efficient processes.

Correct Answer:

Increase procurement thresholds to enable more efficient processes.

Explanation:

Policy manuals must balance efficiency with strong governance. Thresholds set when formal competition or specific procurement steps must occur are a crucial control, often tied to laws and policy. Increasing those thresholds to chase efficiency would weaken oversight, reduce competition, and raise the risk of waste or abuse. That’s why choosing that option is something to avoid. By contrast, staying aligned with best practices, being responsive to changing environments, and acting in the government’s best interest are appropriate aims in policy development, helping ensure sound, transparent procurement. Any changes to thresholds should follow formal governance and legal requirements rather than serve as a shortcut for efficiency.
