Title: Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation--Simplified Acquisition Procedures for Health Care Resources 
Abstract: VA intends to withdraw the proposed rule concerning simplified acquisition procedures for health-care resources published in the Federal Register on November 9, 1998 (63 FR 60256), and to promulgate a new proposed rule concerning simplified acquisition procedures for health-care resources. The new proposed rule document would amend the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) to establish simplified procedures for the competitive acquisition of health-care resources, consisting of commercial services or the use of medical equipment or space, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8151-8153. Public Law 104-262, the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996, authorized VA to prescribe simplified procedures for the procurement of health-care resources. The proposed rule would prescribe those procedures.
