The FRUGAL Act seeks to make government more efficient and save taxpayer funds in three innovative ways: Requires the Treasury Department to crack down on people taking advantage of offshore tax loopholes and improve programs to close those loopholes, potentially saving taxpayers millions. Maximizes competition, quality, and savings in government contracting by standardizing reverse auctions for federal acquisitions and requiring protections for small businesses to give them more opportunities to win government contracts in reverse auctions. A reverse auction is conducted when sellers compete to determine who is willing to offer their supplies or services at the highest quality and lowest price. Reigns in the costs of managing our Nation’s pennies, nickels, and dimes by ensuring processes are more efficient. The cost of managing our coin supply increased by 69 percent between 2008 and 2012. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Raul Ruiz and Rep. Eric Swalwell. Other co-sponsors include, Rep. Ann Kuster (NH-2), Rep. Patrick Murphy (FL-18), and Rep. Pete P. Gallego (TX-23). ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
