    (a) Purpose. The purpose of the regulations in this part is to set 
forth the standards for compliance with the Vietnam Era Veterans' 
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended (38 U.S.C. 4212, or 
VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors and subcontractors to 
take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified 
special disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era.
    (b) Applicability. This part applies to all Government contracts and 
subcontracts of $10,000 or more for the purchase, sale or use of 
personal property or nonpersonal services (including construction): 
Provided, That subpart C of this part applies only as described in Sec. 
60-250.40(a). Compliance by the contractor with the provisions of this 
part will not necessarily determine its compliance with other statutes, 
and compliance with other statutes will not necessarily determine its 
compliance with this part.
    (c) Construction--(1) In general. The Interpretive Guidance on Title 
I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (42 U.S.C. 12101, et 
seq.) set out as an appendix to 29 CFR Part 1630 issued pursuant to 
Title I may be relied upon for guidance in interpreting the parallel 
provisions of this part.
    (2) Relationship to other laws. This part does not invalidate or 
limit the remedies, rights, and procedures under any Federal law or the 
law of any state or political subdivision that provides

greater or equal protection for the rights of special disabled veterans 
or veterans of the Vietnam era as compared to the protection afforded by 
this part. It may be a defense to a charge of violation of this part 
that a challenged action is required or necessitated by another Federal 
law or regulation, or that another Federal law or regulation prohibits 
an action (including the provision of a particular reasonable 
accommodation) that would otherwise be required by this part.
