Title: Revise and Streamline VA Acquisition Regulation--Part 836 | |
Abstract:
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend and update its VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) in phased increments to revise or remove any policy superseded by changes in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), to remove any procedural guidance internal to VA into the VA Acquisition Manual (VAAM), and to incorporate any new agency specific regulations or policies. These changes seek to streamline and align the VAAR with the FAR and remove outdated and duplicative requirements and reduce burden on contractors. The VAAM incorporates portions of the removed VAAR as well as other internal agency acquisition policy. VA will rewrite certain parts of the VAAR and VAAM, and as VAAR parts are rewritten, we’ll publish them in the Federal Register. VA will combine related topics, as appropriate. In particular, this rulemaking revises VAAR part 836 - Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts, as well as affected parts 801 - Federal Acquisition Regulations System, 825 - Foreign Acquisition, 842 - Contract Administration and Audit Services, 846 - Quality Assurance, 852 - Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses and 853 Forms. |
