Fed Regist. 1998 Nov 9;63(216 Pt 1):60256-68.
This document proposes to amend the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulations (VAAR) to establish simplified procedures for the competitive acquisition of healthcare resources, consisting of commercial services or the use of medical equipment or space, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8151-8153. Presently, the VAAR does not contain simplified procedures. In the absence of such procedures, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) follows the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the current VAAR. 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. This proposed rule prescribes those procedures.
本文件提议修订退伍军人事务部采购条例（VAAR），以根据美国法典第38编第8151 - 8153条，为竞争性采购医疗资源（包括商业服务、医疗设备使用或空间使用）制定简化程序。目前，VAAR中没有简化程序。在没有此类程序的情况下，退伍军人事务部（VA）遵循联邦采购条例（FAR）和现行的VAAR。1996年《退伍军人医疗保健资格改革法案》（公法104 - 262）授权VA制定医疗资源采购的简化程序。本拟议规则规定了这些程序。
