Summary: Peter Brunnengraeber, owner of ayData Management, LLC, opposes the proposed rules because they would remove mandatory small-business protections. He argues that the 15-day head start for smaller purchases is necessary for his firm to prepare proper bids.
My name is Peter Brunnengraeber, owner of ayData Management, LLC. My firm provides NDT software used in advanced manufacturing and testing.
I support streamlining the FAR — but not at the cost of the mandatory small-business protections these rules remove.
I am asking the Council not to finalize these rules as written.
We typically learn about federal opportunities through SAM.gov searches and our third-party search notifications, and it usually takes us about one to two weeks to prepare a bid or quote. If the guaranteed 15-day head start disappeared on smaller purchases, we would miss so many opportunities because we wouldn't have the time to prepare a proper bid.
I support and incorporate by reference the comments filed in this docket by The American Small Business Chamber of Commerce — its principal comment (Comment ID FAR-2026-0005-0010) and its comment under 5 U.S.C. 610 (Comment ID FAR-2026-0005-0009).
