1. Can you clarify what is meant by “Predecessor Company?” in Section 8.) g.) v.) “Predecessor Companies – If any of the contracts submitted were performed by a predecessor company submit documentation that shows a legal tie between the companies. References submitted without this documentation will not be evaluated.”

Answer: In general terms, when a company merges or is acquired and it takes on the name of the acquirer, or changes its name, the old company is the predecessor. For example, ABC Corp is acquired by XYZ Corp and as a result the new company name becomes A-Z Corp, the old company, ABC Corp, is the predecessor.
