Federal Acquisition Regulation
42.1203 and 42.1204 provide
requirements for contractors to request
novation/change of name agreements
and supporting documents when a firm

the information collection.

B. Purpose
The Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) provision 52.204–20, Predecessor
E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM
19SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 19, 2018 / Notices
of Offeror, requires each offeror to
identify if the offeror is, within the last
three years, a successor to another entity
that received a Federal Government
award and, if so, to provide the
Commercial and Government Entity
(CAGE) code and legal name of the
predecessor. The information on
predecessors is used to identify such
entities in the Federal Awardee
Performance and Integrity Information
System (FAPIIS) to allow retrieval of
integrity and performance data on the
most recent predecessor of an apparent
successful offeror to whom award is
anticipated. FAR 9.104–6 requires
contracting officers to consult FAPIIS
before awarding a contract in excess of
the simplified acquisition threshold.
The information on predecessors is
collected on an annual basis for
inclusion in the annual representations
and certifications in the System for
Award Management (SAM) for offerors
required to register in SAM. Offerors not
required to register in SAM but required
to provide the information in the
provision at FAR 52.204–20 will do so
as specified in the solicitation or
instructed by the contracting officer.
