## Abstract

This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Acquisition Regulations (VAAR) by removing certain limitations on cost comparisons related to contracting out of activities at VA health-care facilities that are not direct patient care activities nor incident to direct patient care. This reflects statutory changes made by the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-262).
