HIGHLY QUALIFIED REQUIREMENTS Clause Samples

The "Highly Qualified Requirements" clause sets specific standards or criteria that individuals or entities must meet to be considered eligible for a particular role, task, or contract. Typically, this clause outlines necessary qualifications such as education, certifications, experience, or specialized skills that are required for participation. For example, it may require that all project managers hold a certain professional certification or that contractors demonstrate a minimum number of years of relevant experience. The core function of this clause is to ensure that only suitably qualified parties are engaged, thereby reducing the risk of inadequate performance and promoting successful outcomes.
