OMB Reverses $250,000 Micropurchase Cap
Client Alert | 1 min read | 10.05.05
Apparently out of concern about fraudulent or abusive use, OMB notified federal agencies late October 3 that it has rescinded the recently increased $250,000 limit on hurricane-related transactions that can be made using government purchase cards, returning to the original limits of $2,500 for normal purchases and $15,000 for contingency operations. In a related action, OMB has instituted new government-wide policies to reduce the risk of fraud, misuse, and late payments associated with use of the government-issued cards in "Improving the Management of Government Charge Card Programs," an appendix to OMB Circular A-123.

Colorado Judge Quashes DOJ Gender-Related Care Subpoena
On January 5, 2026, District of Colorado Magistrate Judge Cyrus Chung issued a recommendation that the district court grant a motion to quash a Department of Justice (DOJ) administrative subpoena that sought records about the provision of gender-related care by Children’s Hospital Colorado (Children’s) in In re: Department of Justice Administrative Subpoena No. 25-1431-030, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, No. 1:25-mc-00063. The court concluded that the DOJ had failed to carry its “light” burden, noting that no other courts that had considered the more than 20 similar subpoenas issued by DOJ had ruled in the DOJ’s favor.
