Titles: Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR) Clause
852.211-70, Service Data Manual.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0587.
Type of Review: Extension without change of a previously approved
collection.
Abstract: VAAR clause 852.211-70 is used when VA purchases
technical medical equipment and devices or mechanical equipment. The
clause requires the contractor to furnish both operator's manuals and
maintenance/repair manuals with the equipment provided to the
Government. This clause sets forth those requirements and sets forth
the minimum standards those manuals must meet to be acceptable.
Generally, this is the same operator's manual furnished with each piece
of equipment sold to the general public and the same repair manual used
by company technicians in repairing the company's equipment. The cost
of the
[[Page 40772]]
manuals is included in the contract price or listed as separately
priced line items on the purchase order. The operator's manual will be
used by the individual actually operating the equipment to ensure
proper operation and cleaning. The repair manual will be used by VA
equipment repair staff to repair the equipment. The contracting officer
will use the information to evaluate whether or not the item offered
meets the specification requirements.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden: 621 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3725.
By direction of the Secretary.
Cynthia Harvey-Pryor,
Program Specialist, Enterprise Records Management Service, Office of
Privacy and Records Management, Department of Veterans Affairs.
