About this file

This is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) document that establishes performance metrics and acceptable quality levels for contractor performance under the Safety Verification Initiative contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The QASP defines six key performance areas with specific measurement criteria: Staff Readiness requires 95% AQL for maintaining 100% of contractually required fully qualified FTEs, monitored monthly with weekly reports during the first quarter; Deliverables requires 95% AQL for timely provision of all specified deliverables, tracked weekly during transition and annually thereafter; Incident Notification Compliance mandates 100% AQL with all notifications made within 24 hours of discovery, verified monthly; Case Timeliness requires 90% AQL for confirming addresses within 10 calendar days and completing initial contact within 7 calendar days of case assignment, excluding Federal holidays; Background Investigation Completion requires 90% AQL for accepting investigation packages without resubmission, tracked weekly during transition and monthly thereafter; and Case Accuracy requires 90% AQL for accurate task completion and data entry, verified through ad hoc random checks.

All performance metrics are reported through CPARS and monitored by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) using a combination of regular reports and random inspections. The document establishes that failure to meet or exceed specified AQL thresholds may result in unsatisfactory performance determinations. The surveillance methods include weekly site staffing reports, email receipt confirmation, incident reports, and random quality checks conducted by the government, with most metrics reported on a monthly basis to ensure ongoing compliance with contract requirements.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

The QASP provides a performance requirement and an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) for select activities in the PWS and the contract itself. A performance requirement describes a required element of contractor performance. An AQL defines the minimum level of performance that is deemed satisfactory. The contract requires the contractor to perform all work as specified.

AQLs take into account that, in some instances, an allowable level of deficiency (deviation) is possible while overall performance continues to meet ICE’s desired level of service. AQL’s define that level or number of performance deficiencies tolerable under this contract. They take into account the difference between an occasional defect and a gross number of defects. AQLs are expressed as a percentage as calculated per the performance measure. The AQLs directly relate to the performance requirement and are a direct percentage of the performance requirement percentage. There may be instances where 100% compliance is necessary, and no deviation is acceptable.

AQLs for contractor performance are structured to allow for the contractor to manage how it performs work while providing negative incentives for performance shortfalls which may have a serious impact on mission performance. If the quality level does not meet or exceed the AQL, the Government may consider the contractor’s performance unsatisfactory.

All QASP metrics will be reported in CPARS.
