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 through surveillance conducted by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The COR is authorized to observe performance, review service records, verify television programming availability, monitor installation activities, and document performance deficiencies, though the COR cannot modify contract terms or obligate the Government.
The QASP outlines four primary performance objectives with corresponding standards and surveillance methods: (1) required television programming must remain available on authorized connected televisions except during scheduled maintenance or circumstances beyond the Contractor's control, monitored through direct observation and outage review; (2) service outages must be acknowledged and addressed promptly with initial status updates provided within two business hours and subsequent updates every two business hours until restoration, verified through review of notifications and escalation actions; (3) all new equipment must be installed, configured, tested, and operational within 90 calendar days, with transition completion required by May 23, 2027, while maintaining existing service during the transition period, verified through observation and system operation testing; and (4) installation and maintenance work must comply with contract requirements by using qualified personnel, coordinating with the COR, protecting Government property, and maintaining equipment in operational condition, monitored through periodic observation and performance issue review. The COR will document significant performance deficiencies and notify the Contracting Officer when performance does not meet requirements, with the Contractor required to identify causes and describe corrective actions for repeated or significant deficiencies.

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) Satellite Television Programming Services VA Palo Alto Health Care System
1. PURPOSE
This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) establishes the Government's approach for monitoring Contractor performance under the Satellite Television Programming Services contract.
The purpose of the QASP is to determine whether the Contractor's performance meets the requirements and performance standards established in the contract.
The Contractor is responsible for managing and controlling the quality of its performance. Government surveillance does not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility to comply with all contract requirements.
The level and frequency of Government surveillance may be adjusted based on Contractor performance.
2. AUTHORITY
Authority for Government inspection and surveillance is provided by the applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation inspection and acceptance requirements and the terms and conditions of the contract.
3. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), or other Government representative designated by the Contracting Officer, will monitor Contractor performance in accordance with this QASP.
The COR may observe performance, review service records, verify television programming availability, monitor installation activities, and document performance deficiencies.
The COR is not authorized to change the terms or conditions of the contract or otherwise obligate the Government.
4. PERFORMANCE SURVEILLANCE MATRIX
| Performance Objective |
| Performance Standard |

| 2. Service outages are addressed promptly. |
| The Contractor acknowledges outage notifications in accordance with the response times established in PWS Section 7, initiates troubleshooting and corrective action promptly, escalates outages to the appropriate provider or responsible party when necessary, provides the COR an initial status and estimated restoration time within two business hours after acknowledgment, provides required status updates to the COR at least every two (2) business hours while the outage remains unresolved, and notifies the COR when service is restored. |
| Review of outage notifications, acknowledgment times, Contractor status updates, escalation actions, and restoration notifications. |
| 3. New equipment is installed and operational within the required transition period. |
| All new equipment required by the PWS is furnished, installed, configured, tested, and placed into full operation within 90 calendar days, inclusive of the first day of the period of performance, with the transition completed no later than May 23, 2027. Existing service is maintained during transition. |
| Observation of installation progress, coordination with the COR, and Government verification of successful system operation. |
| 4. Installation and maintenance work complies with contract requirements. |
| 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 in accordance with the PWS. |
