SUMMARY: On February 21, 2018, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
published a final rule prescribing five new Economic Price Adjustment

delivery-order ombudsman, clarifying the nature and use of consignment 
agreements, adding policy coverage on bond premium adjustments and 
insurance under fixed-price contracts, and providing for 
indemnification of contractors for medical research or development
