technicians in repairing the company’s 

equipment. The cost of the 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 

equipment. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; Individuals and households; and 

Not-for-profit institutions.
