<body>
<p>The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is amending and updating its HHS Acquisition Regulation (HHSAR) to update and streamline the HHSAR to revise or remove any policy superseded by changes in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), to remove any procedural guidance internal to HHS into a new HHS Acquisition Manual as internal policies, guidance, and instructions. The rule would add new coverage to implement agency unique requirements. The HHSAR would also be updated to reflect organizational changes in the Department, incorporate recent statutory changes and government mandates, and to accomplish editorial revisions for clarification.</p>
