About this file
This is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) for monitoring Contractor performance under a Satellite Television Programming Services contract at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. The QASP establishes the Government's approach for ensuring the Contractor meets all contract requirements and performance standards. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will monitor performance through observation of television programming availability, review of service outages and acknowledgment times, and verification of equipment installation and maintenance activities. The surveillance matrix establishes four primary performance objectives: (1) required television programming remains continuously available except for scheduled maintenance or circumstances outside the Contractor's control; (2) service outages are acknowledged and addressed promptly with status updates provided to the COR at minimum every two business hours until restoration; (3) all new equipment is installed, configured, tested, and operational within 90 calendar days, with transition completion by May 23, 2027, while maintaining existing service; and (4) installation and maintenance work is performed by qualified personnel coordinated with the COR, protects Government property, minimizes disruption to patients and facility operations, and maintains equipment in operational condition.
The COR will document significant performance deficiencies and notify the Contracting Officer when performance does not meet contract requirements. The Contractor may be requested to identify causes of deficiencies and describe corrective actions taken or planned. Repeated or significant performance deficiencies will be addressed by the Contracting Officer in accordance with contract terms and conditions. This QASP applies to solicitation number 36C26127Q0113, a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 for a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside. The quote deadline is December 9, 2026, at 11:00 AM PST, with questions due by November 30, 2026, directed to Contract Specialist Karen Cooper at karen.cooper332@va.gov.
