MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, NOVATIONS, AND CHANGE-OF-NAME AGREEMENTS Sample Clauses

MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, NOVATIONS, AND CHANGE-OF-NAME AGREEMENTS. ‌ The Anti-Assignment of Contracts Act, 41 USC § 15, (Anti-Assignment Act) prohibits the transfer of any interest in a federal contract to another party unless an exception applies. Therefore, the Master Contract, standing alone, is not a commodity that can be bought, sold or assigned to a brokerage firm or any third-party agent so to arrange transactions between a buyer and a seller of standalone Government contracts. There are conditions, however, where the Government may still recognize a successor-in-interest who, due to certain transfers, is in a position to continue performance in place of the original party to the Government contract. For example, through a (1) Novation Agreement where the sale of all Contractor’s assets, or the entire portion of the assets involved in performing the Master Contract, including any open Task Orders, has occurred. An Assignment that would otherwise be considered ineffective, may be given effect via a novation agreement that substitutes successor-in-interest as the contractor, while requiring that the original party remain obligated for performance. Another example of an exception to the Anti-Assignment Act is through (2) Operation of Law, such as when the Contractor’s interest in the contract is transferred as a result of a stock purchase or bankruptcy order. These exceptions are further discussed below: (Transferee). Although the Transferor and the Transferee may have negotiated their corporate terms and conditions for the terms of assignment or assumption of responsibilities relating to the Government Contract, and agreed to execute a Novation Agreement substantially in conformance with the regulatory requirement, the Novation is not automatically approved by the Government. There are no entitlements or guarantees that the Government must or will consent to any request for Novation. FAR 42.12 describes the procedures necessary to request that the Government recognize a successor in interest to a contract. There are also additional due diligence procedures that GSA may impose, including an evaluation of the Transferee’s technical capabilities, accounting systems, relevant past contract performance, financial capacity, and other Responsibility factors. From the time, the Government receives a completed Novation package request from the Transferor, the process might take three to six months or more for the Government to process the package and provide a decision. The Contractor must continue to fully perform under the ...

MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, NOVATIONS, AND CHANGE-OF-NAME AGREEMENTS. If a Contractor merges, is acquired, or recognizes a successor in interest to Government contracts when Contractor assets are transferred; or, recognizes a change in a Contractor’s name; or, executes novation agreements and change-of-name agreements by a CO other than the OASIS CO, the Contractor must notify the OASIS CO and provide a copy of the novation or other any other agreement that changes the status of the Contractor. This notification, if applicable, applies once to the OASIS CO and not for each Pool the Contractor has an award under. If requesting a novation by the OASIS CO, the following information shall govern the request and be taken into consideration before requesting the novation: The law (41 U.S.C. 6305) prohibits transfer of Government contracts from an awardee to a third party. However, the Government may, when in its interest, novate an awardee's contract to a third party when there is a transfer of: 1. All of awardee's assets OR 2. The entire portion of the assets involved in performing the contract. When a company purchases ALL of an awardee's assets, the purchasing company will need to submit the novation requirements found at FAR 42. When a company purchases the entire portion of the assets involved in performing the contract, the purchasing company will need to submit the novation requirements found at FAR 42.1204. IMPORTANT to note here is that the interpret of this exception means that people shall be involved in the transfer of assets along with all other non-personnel assets. For companies with OASIS task orders, that means all of the people performing those task orders as well as the people performing at the contract level (COCM and COPM). For companies without OASIS task orders, that means the people performing at the contract level (COCM and COPM). In the event that an existing OASIS Prime Contractor purchases ALL of the awardees assets OR the portion of the assets involved in performing the contract of another OASIS Prime contractor in the same pool, upon finalization of the novation or change of name agreement the duplicate contract shall be considered “surrendered” and shall be placed in dormant status if there are on-going task orders or off-ramped if there are no on-going task orders. If the duplicate contract is off-ramped, the OASIS CO will begin the contract close out process immediately. If a company is considering submitting a request for the Government to recognize a successor in interest, it is highly recommende...
