This medical center is currently working on a project to have a second set of cubicle curtains for all locations. Now we do have some areas that already have the second set, but most places do not have the second set. Due to the lack of the second set of cubicle curtains for all locations, we are asking that all quotes submitted in this solicitation take into the consideration additional time and charges to replace temporarily cubicle curtains while primary ones are being cleaned. Once the second set of cubicle curtains is available, a quote revision will take place. The work required by this contract consists of furnishing the physical facility location or plant (at an off-site location), all labor, supervision, management, management support, supplies, ancillary equipment, vehicles and materials necessary for accomplishment of complete cubicle curtain cleaning services. The solicitation is a Total Small Businesses Set-Aside. Authority for this contract is FAR Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).

It is intended that services shall include all processes necessary for the laundering of the articles even though every step involved is not specifically mentioned. All work shall be performed under sanitary conditions as specified by the Joint Commission (JC). The link is https://www.jointcommission.org. Contractor must certify that their facility maintains physical separation, through the presence of a barrier wall and the use of pass-through equipment is required to maintain positive air pressure in the clean section relative to a negative air pressure in the soiled section. Contractor must also certify that all equipment used is disinfected with an EPA approved germicide. FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS CERTIFICATION MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF PROPOSAL. In no case shall clean and soiled curtains share the same physical space (The Laundry facility or Plant layout/design should incorporate a “design for asepsis” where by clean curtains never comes into contact with soiled curtains nor share the same physical space, thus avoiding cross contamination or reintroduction of bacteria once processed).

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) - Introduction This QASP Plan has been developed for in-house operations or to implement a service contract. It is designed to aid the Government in providing effective and systematic surveillance of all aspects of cubicle curtain cleaning services. This plan provides for monitoring all contract requirements through a combination of methods. These are:

a. Sampling guides

b. Customer complaint surveillance guides; and

c. Surveillance activity checklist.

The objective of this surveillance plan is to evaluate how the Government or Contractor is performing in key areas. We are primarily interested in the final product or service being provided and not in the details of accomplishment.

The principal method of surveillance will be the random sampling of the quantity and quality of laundered items processed. The plan contains sampling guides for use in random sampling. It contains random sampling (tally) checklists which are used to record information about the random samples.

Tasks not surveyed by random sampling will be covered by daily observation in some cases or by use or periodic checklist inspections. Appropriate checklists are provided for recording observations in this type of surveillance.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. PURPOSE

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) provides a systematic method to evaluate performance for the stated contract. This QASP explains the following:

· What will be monitored.

· How monitoring will take place.

· Who will conduct the monitoring.

· How monitoring efforts and results will be documented.

This QASP does not detail how the contractor accomplishes the work. Rather, the QASP is created with the premise that the contractor is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating performance.

This QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it on a regular basis. However, the Government shall coordinate changes with the contractor. Copies of the original QASP and revisions shall be provided to the contractor and Government officials implementing surveillance activities.

2. GOVERNMENT ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The following personnel shall oversee and coordinate surveillance activities.

a. Contracting Officer (CO) - The CO shall ensure performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensure compliance with the contract terms, and shall safeguard the interests of the United States in the contractual relationship. The CO shall also assure that the contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under this contract. The CO is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the contractor’s performance.

Organization or Agency: _______________________________________________________

b. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) - The COR is responsible for technical administration of the contract and shall assure proper Government surveillance of the contractor’s performance. The COR shall keep a quality assurance file. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual changes on the Government’s behalf.

c. Other Key Government Personnel –

3. CONTRACTOR REPRESENTATIVES

The following employees of the contractor serve as the contractor’s program manager for this contract.

4. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Performance standards define desired services. The Government performs surveillance to determine if the contractor exceeds, meets or does not meet these standards.

The Performance Requirements Summary Matrix in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), includes performance standards. The Government shall use these standards to determine contractor performance and shall compare contractor performance to the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL).

Note: The subject contract does not contain a Performance Requirements section in the SOW. As such, the below listed Tasks, Indicators, and Standards have been extracted from SOW:

Rating

Curtain are cleaned, ironed and no wrinkles.

Vendor will scan all the curtains as they go out of the facility and scan them back as they come in.
