Q3. Are repair parts supplied by VA or contractor?

A The Government ("VA") will supply repair parts.



Q4. Who is responsible for the cost of repair parts?

A If the repair is being sent out, the VA covers the cost. If the repair is done in house, the VA will buy parts and the Contractor shall repair the equipment.
