The ARCA Act of 2025 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to consolidate all acquisition, procurement, and supply chain operations from its three main divisions under a single Assistant Secretary for Acquisition within one year of the bill's enactment. This organizational restructuring affects the Veterans Benefits Administration, Veterans Health Administration, and National Cemetery Administration, streamlining their purchasing and logistics activities under unified management. The VA Secretary must develop a consolidation plan and brief congressional Veterans' Affairs committees within 90 days of beginning the reorganization, though the bill does not require employees to physically relocate. The legislation also makes technical updates to federal law to reflect the new organizational structure and includes provisions for enhanced program management, cost assessment, and requirements development within the consolidated acquisition system.
