ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 24, 2020, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
published a rule updating its VA Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) in 
phased increments. The changes seek to streamline and align the VAAR 
with the FAR and remove outdated and duplicative requirements and 
reduce burden on contractors. An error occurred in three amendatory 
instructions. This document corrects those errors.

DATES: This correction is effective October 26, 2020.

Procurement Analyst, Procurement Policy and Warrant Management
