Most of the purchases the government makes are small. For every aircraft carrier, agencies buy a million printers, desks, airplane tickets. Most of *these* fall under what's known as the micro purchase threshold. That threshold stands at 10 thousand dollars. My next guest has made the case that raising it to 20 thousand would save the government tens of millions of dollars, among other ventures. She's co-author of an analysis from the Baroni Center for Government Contracting at George Mason University .. and former administrator of the General Services Administration. Emily Murphy joins me now.
