Abstract: FAR Case 2013-020, Information on Corporate Contractor Performance and Integrity, modifies FAR provision 52.204-WW, Owner or Predecessor of Offeror, by adding paragraphs (e) and (f) to require each offeror to identify in the System for Award Management (SAM) on an annual basis, 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 CAGE code and legal name of the predecessor. This requirement is to implement section 852 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239) with regard to Federal contracts. The other requirements of 52.204-WW are separately addressed under OMB Clearance 9000-0185, Commercial and Government Entity Code.
