Technical direction is defined as a directive to the Contractor which approves approaches, solutions, designs, or refinements; fills in details or otherwise completes the general description of work of documentation items;

shifts emphasis among work areas or tasks; or otherwise furnishes guidance to the Contractor. Technical direction includes the process of conducting inquiries, requesting studies, or transmitting information or advice by the COR, regarding matters within the general tasks and requirements in the Performance Work Statement.

(b) The COR does not have the authority to, and shall not, issue any technical direction which:

(1) Constitutes an assignment of additional work outside the Performance Work Statement;

(2) Constitutes a change as defined in the contract clause entitled "Changes";

(3) In any manner causes an increase or decrease in the total estimated contract cost, the fixed fee (if any), or the time required for contract performance;

(1) the technical direction is rescinded in its entirety

(2) the technical direction is within the scope of the contract, does not constitute a change under the

"Changes" clause of the contract and that the Contractor should continue with the performance of the technical direction.

(e) A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer to agree that the technical direction is within scope of the contract, or a failure to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect thereto shall be subject to the provisions of the "Disputes" clause of this contract.

(f) Any action(s) taken by the Contractor in response to any direction given by any person other than the Contracting Officer or the COR whom the Contracting Officer shall appoint shall be at the Contractor’s risk and may not be reimbursed or paid for the services rendered.

B.7 GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN AND SURVEILLANCE

The Government will perform those quality assurance procedures that may be necessary to verify that performance is in accordance with the terms of the contract. Government quality assurance will be performed routinely by the COR; however, other activities may be called upon to support this effort as required.

Attachment 2 - Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) will be utilized to monitor Contractor performance.

The QASP will be used by the Government to evaluate the Contractor's performance over the life of the contract.

Through this evaluation, the Contracting Officer Representative will identify both positive and negative aspects of the contractor's performance. This will allow the COR to communicate to the contractor those aspects that are strengths of their performance, and those aspects considered to be deficiencies/weaknesses in their performance, and which need to be addressed and corrected. For those tasks listed in the QASP, the COR or designated quality assurance evaluators will follow the methods of surveillance specified in this contract. The COR will record all surveillance observations and will maintain a file of all inspections results. Government surveillance of tasks not listed in the QASP may occur during the performance of this contract. Such surveillance will be done in accordance with the contract. Unsatisfactory performance for any Performance Standard/Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) item listed in the QASP may result in other appropriate action(s) by the Contracting Officer in accordance with FAR 2.212-4 (a) “Inspection of Services”, including Termination for Cause. Any action taken by the Contracting Officer as a result of surveillance will be in accordance with the terms of this contract.

B.8 PERFORMANCE OF GOVERNMENT CONTRACT QUALITY ASSURANCE FUNCTIONS

In accordance with FAR 52.212-4(a) “Inspection of Services”, the Government intends to perform the quality assurance functions listed in the QASP, dated 1/12/23, Attachment 2.

Interim and final performance evaluation reports will be provided to the contractor via the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) after completion of the evaluation. The CPARS Assessing Official Representatives (AORs) will provide input for interim and final contractor performance evaluations. The AORs may be Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs), and/or project managers. The CPARS Assessing Officials (AOs) are the contracting officers (CO) or contract specialists (CS) who will sign the evaluation report and forward it to the contractor representative via CPARS for comments.

The contractor representative is responsible for reviewing and commenting on proposed ratings and remarks for all evaluations forwarded by the AO. After review, the contractor representative will return the evaluation to the AO via CPARS.

Any disagreement between the AO/CO and the contractor representative regarding the performance evaluation report will be referred to the Reviewing Official (RO) within the division/branch the AO is assigned.
