If a contractor wishes the Government to recognize a successor in interest to its contracts or a name change, the contractor must submit a written request to the responsible contracting officer. The request is used by the contracting officer to determine what additional supporting documentation should be submitted by the contractor and to determine what other contract administration offices should be notified of the contractor’s request. • FAR 42.1204(e) and (f), Novation Agreement. Pursuant to FAR 42.1203(b)(1), upon request from the contracting officer, the contractor shall submit three signed copies of the proposed novation agreement, plus copies of the supporting documentation listed at 42.1204(e) and (f), as applicable. The documentation is used by the contracting officer to evaluate and, if appropriate, execute a proposed agreement for recognizing a third party as a successor in interest. • FAR 42.1205(a), Change-of-Name Agreement. Pursuant to FAR 42.1203(b)(1), upon request from the contracting officer, the contractor shall submit three signed copies of the proposed change-of-name agreement, plus copies of the supporting documentation listed at 42.1205(a), as applicable. The documentation is used PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 55595 by the contracting officer to evaluate and, if appropriate, execute a proposed agreement for recognizing a contractor’s name change. C. Annual Burden Respondents: 1,625. Total Annual Responses: 1,625. Total Burden Hours: 3,163. D. Public Comment A. A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 24001, on April 5, 2024. A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register at 89 FR 24001, on April 5, 2024. Comments from 3 respondents were received; however, they did not change the estimate of the burden. Comment: Three respondents submitted the following recommendations for changes to the FAR: • For novation agreements: ✓ Define time frames in which the government will review the novation request and request any further information. ✓ Explicitly permitting the electronic submission of novation packages. ✓ Reserve the novation process for only actual transfer of assets which are embodied in a sale between two entirely separate unaffiliated legal entities. ✓ Include recognition of a successor in interest to Government contracts among entities registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) that have a common parent company when there is no transfer of assets. ✓ Allow for a streamlined process for a transfer of assets between two affiliated entities within the same corporate parent structure. ✓ Remove the requirement to provide the ‘‘approximate remaining unpaid balance’’ of contracts to be novated at FAR 42.1204(e)(2)(iv). ✓ Clarify that a novation process can begin before all the documents are submitted although it won’t be complete until all necessary requirements are fully satisfied. ✓ Remove the requirement for a corporate seal or require it only if the novated contracts are above a very high dollar threshold. ✓ Replace the listed documents at FAR 42.1204(f)(1) to (3) with a simple Secretary’s Certificate, certifying that all the activities (registration, approval by the board, etc.) have been completed. ✓ Require the government to appropriately deem an acquirer as a successor in interest to the proposals. This could be a confirmation or certification in SAM that the resources proposed remain available to perform and that the acquisition or novation does not change the ability to perform.
