Why does Brooks Act matter?

The Brooks Act requires federal agencies to select architect-engineer (A-E) firms based on qualifications rather than price competition. Known as Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS), it ensures design quality by evaluating technical competence, experience, and past performance before negotiating fees.

Key Provisions

  • Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) for A-E services
  • Price/cost excluded from initial A-E firm evaluation
  • Selection based on professional qualifications and competence
  • Fair and reasonable fee negotiation after selection
  • Applied to architecture, engineering, surveying, and related services

Impact on Contractors

A-E firms competing for federal work must focus proposals on qualifications, not price. This creates opportunities for firms with strong technical credentials and past performance, as cost is negotiated only after the most qualified firm is selected.
