The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) to update the VAAR to current FAR requirements, thresholds, definitions, and titles; it provides new definitions, updated VA titles and offices; it corrects inconsistencies, removes redundancies and duplicate material already covered by the FAR; it deletes outdated material or information and appropriately renumbers VAAR text and clauses and provisions where required to comport with FAR format, numbering and arrangement; and, it provides VA acquisition regulations necessary to implement FAR policies and procedures within VA, as well as additional policies, procedures, solicitation provisions, or contract clauses that supplement the FAR to satisfy VA mission needs. This proposed rule revises VAAR parts 803, 814, and 822.  Other revisions to the entirety of the affected parts are planned in later proposed rules when those parts are revised in full.
