No Assignment. A State contract is not transferrable, or otherwise assignable, without the written consent of the procurement officer provided, however, that a contractor may assign monies receivable under a contract after due notice to the State. Recognition of a Successor in Interest Novation. When in the best interest of the State, a successor in interest may be recognized in a novation agreement in which the transferor and the transferee shall agree that: The transferee assumes all of the transferor's obligations; The transferor waives all rights under the contract as against the State; and Unless the transferor guarantees performance of the contract by the transferee, the transferee shall, if required, furnish a satisfactory performance bond. Change of Name. When a contractor requests to change the name in which it holds a contract with the State, the procurement officer responsible for the contract shall, upon receipt of a document indicating the change of name (for example, an amendment to the articles of incorporation of the corporation), enter into an agreement with the requesting contractor to effect the change of name. The agreement changing the name shall specifically indicate that no other terms and conditions of the contract are changed.
