Purpose: This Acquisition Policy Flash announces the completion of an effort by the Office of Acquisition and Logistics (OAL), Procurement Policy and Warrant Management Service (PPS), to review all active acquisition/procurement-related Information Letters (ILs) and to determine if the IL should be rescinded or rescinded and replaced with a Procurement Policy Memorandum (PPM). It also updates the organizational points of contact for accessing rescinded/obsolete ILs to meet the business needs of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
