                CHAPTER 20--NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 
Sec. 2052.215-70  Key personnel.

    As prescribed at 2015.209-70(a)(1), the contracting officer shall 
insert in solicitations and contracts the following clause as applicable 
to the requirement:

                        Key Personnel (JAN 1993)

    (a) The following individuals are considered to be essential to the 
successful performance of the work hereunder:

*

The contractor agrees that personnel may not be removed from the 
contract work or replaced without compliance with paragraphs (b) and (c) 
of this section.
    (b) If one or more of the key personnel, for whatever reason, 
becomes, or is expected to become, unavailable for work under this 
contract for a continuous period exceeding 30 work days, or is expected 
to devote substantially less effort to the work than indicated in the 
proposal or initially anticipated, the contractor shall immediately 
notify the contracting officer and shall, subject to the con currence of 
the contracting officer, promptly replace the personnel with personnel 
of at least substantially equal ability and qualifications.
    (c) Each request for approval of substitutions must be in writing 
and contain a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating 
the proposed substitutions. The request must also contain a complete 
resume

[[Page 394]]

for the proposed substitute and other information requested or needed by 
the contracting officer to evaluate the proposed substitution. The 
contracting officer and the project officer shall evaluate the 
contractor's request and the contracting officer shall promptly notify 
the contractor of his or her decision in writing.
    (d) If the contracting officer determines that suitable and timely 
replacement of key personnel who have been reassigned, terminated, or 
have otherwise become unavailable for the contract work is not 
reasonably forthcoming, or that the resultant reduction of productive 
effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful completion of 
the contract or the service order, the contract may be terminated by the 
contracting officer for default or for the convenience of the 
Government, as appropriate. If the contracting officer finds the 
contractor at fault for the condition, the contract price or fixed fee 
may be equitably adjusted downward to compensate the Government for any 
resultant delay, loss, or damage.

    *To be incorporated into any resultant contract

                             (End of clause)
