The Contracting Officer reserves the right to unilaterally designate other Government agents as authorized representatives. Should such occur, the Contractor will be notified by a written notice.
E.3 GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE AND SURVEILLANCE PLAN
The Government will perform those quality assurance procedures that may be necessary to verify that performance is in accordance with the terms of the contract. Government quality assurance will be performed routinely by the COR; however, other activities may be called upon to support this effort as required. The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is provided under Section J, Attachment 2.
The QASP will be used by the Government to evaluate the Contractor's performance over the life of the contract. Through this evaluation, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will identify both positive and negative aspects of the contractor's performance. This will allow the COR to communicate to the contractor those aspects that are strengths of their performance, and those aspects considered to be deficiencies/weaknesses in their performance and which need to be addressed and corrected.
For those tasks listed in the QASP, the COR or designated quality assurance evaluators will follow the methods of surveillance specified in this contract. The COR or designated quality assurance evaluators will record all surveillance observations and will maintain a file of all inspections results. Government surveillance of tasks not listed in the QASP may occur during the performance of this contract. Such surveillance will be done according to standard inspection procedures or other contract provisions. Unsatisfactory performance for any Performance Standard/Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) item may result in other appropriate action(s) by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the Inspection of Services clause, including Termination for Default. Any action taken by the Contracting Officer as a result of surveillance will be in accordance with the terms of this contract.
