This plan is a government only document primarily focused on what the Government must do to assure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. Non-conforming services shall be re-performed at no increase in contract price.

If non-conforming services are recurring, cannot be re-performed, or the services fail to achieve the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), the Government may reject the nonconforming service(s) and document the contractor’s performance record accordingly. The Government may also issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) in which the contractor will be required to respond with the development of a corrective action plan (CAP) which identifies the root cause, corrective action (CA) for the root cause, CA for the specific nonconformance, and the date the CAs will be complete.

Minor non-conforming services shall be re-performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor non-conformance violations are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II non-conformance may be issued to the contractor by the Contracting Officer (KO).

1.6.1.1.2. Level II (Major) Non-conformance: defined as likely to result in failure of the supplies or services or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Recurring Minor non-conformances, or a non-responsive contractor, indicating a trend or failure of the contractor’s quality control, can also be classified as a Major non-conformance. Major non-conformance violations shall result in the issuance of a written CDR from the KO to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.6.1.1.3.
