Office of Acquisition and Logistics — Office of Procurement Policy Services and Warrant Management
Acquisition Policy Flashes are used to communicate useful information such as Class Deviations, Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) Guidance, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Cases, and other information that has the potential to impact day-to-day procurement operations within the VA. Acquisition Policy Flashes can be either stand-alone or introductory documents that communicate and disseminate Procedures, Guidance, and Information to VA’s acquisition workforce. They can also be used to distribute policy changes contained within Procurement Memorandums.
The table below lists the Acquisition Policy Flashes that have been issued by the Office of Procurement Policy Services (PPS) and links to those that are still active. If you have any questions regarding these Acquisition Policy Flashes, please access our Procurement Policy Team on our points of contact page or email us at VA.Procurement.Policy@va.gov.
