(1) Any such language, provision, or clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(2) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the CSA.

(3) Any such language, provision, or clause is deemed to be stricken from the CSA.

KEY PERSONNEL REPLACEMENT PROCESS

Key personnel may, with the consent of the contracting parties, be amended from time to time during the course of the contract to add or remove key personnel. A formal modification is only required when the key personnel are specifically named in the contract. This process only applies to the extent that the contract does not otherwise specify notice or personnel replacement obligations.

Government Request

The Government may require replacement of key personnel in the instance of non-performance, misconduct, or alleged misconduct whose continued use under a contract is contrary to the best interests of the Government. Circumstances that support a request for replacement include but are not limited to performance that is inconsistent with the contract performance work statement (PWS), terms and conditions, or violations of Federal laws, regulations, or agency conduct standards. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will give written notice to the Contractor of the need for substitution, including the circumstances surrounding the request for replacement. In accordance with FAR Part 1.602- 2(b), the Contracting Officer (CO) will ensure the Contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment;

however, the CO is not required to investigate or validate allegations or wait until a final resolution of the circumstances surrounding the request for replacement before requiring substitution of key personnel.

Within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving notice, the Contractor shall respond to the Government’s request to replace key personnel and provide key personnel replacement resume(s) to the COR(s). The resume(s) shall demonstrate that the qualifications of proposed replacement key personnel meet the qualifications stated in the PWS. The COR will notify the Contractor, in writing, within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving key personnel replacement resume(s) if the Contractor provided replacement personnel is acceptable. The Government reserves the right to disapprove the proposed substitute(s) and negotiate with the Contractor for other key personnel replacement(s). Any Contractor replacement of key personnel must be done in consultation with the COR. The process for replacing key personnel as described above does not suspend the Contractor’s obligation to continue performance under the contract.
