About this file
This document is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) for refuse and recycling services at USCG Base Cape Cod, Massachusetts and USCG Housing in Harwich, Massachusetts.
The QASP outlines the Government's methodology for monitoring contractor performance against contract requirements and the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). The plan establishes that the contractor is solely responsible for quality control and management actions to meet contract terms, while the Government performs quality assurance monitoring to verify that contract standards are achieved. Government surveillance methods include Contracting Officer Representative (COR) periodic inspections, customer complaint verification, and occasional review of contractor quality control records. The Government is primarily concerned with service quality rather than the methods used to deliver services. For substandard performance identified through inspections, direct observation, customer complaints, or other mechanisms, the Government's preferred corrective action is discussion with the contractor to address the problem and prevent recurrence. A Contract Discrepancy Report is required to formally document all instances of substandard performance. The Government reserves the right to reduce contract payments to reflect decreased value of services when performance is unsatisfactory due to contractor actions or omissions, in accordance with the PRS and applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN
1. Purpose: This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) describes methods that the Government will use to monitor whether the Contractor’s performance of the above contract is acceptable. The QASP is the Government’s written plan for administrating the Contract and monitoring major aspects of the Contractor’s performance. The QASP is not part of the Contract. It is provided to the Contractor solely for informational purposes and is subject to change by the Government at any time during the contract performance period. Therefore, the Government reserves the right to perform surveillance that is provided in this QASP.
2. Introduction: The QASP establishes a method to evaluate the services the Contractor is required to furnish. It is designed to provide an effective method of monitoring contractor performance for each listed objective on the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) in the contract. The Government is concerned primarily with the quality of the services provided and not with the method that the Contractor uses to provide these services. If performance of any required service is unsatisfactory because of the Contractor’s actions or omissions then the Government may reduce the contract payments to reflect the decreased value of the services received in accordance with PRS and/or applicable FAR clauses.
3. Responsibility for Quality Control: The Contractor, not the Government, is responsible for quality control and management actions to meet the terms of the contract. The Government performs quality assurances to monitor whether Contract standards are achieved.
4. Surveillance Methods: The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract. Government surveillance may include, but is not limited to, the following methods:
a. Contracting Officer Representative (COR) periodic inspections
b. Customer complaints with COR verification
c. Occasional review of the Contractor’s QC records
5. Corrective Actions: The government will record all instances of substandard performance , whether through inspections, direct observation, customer complaint, or any other mechanism.
The Government’s preferred course of action will be discussions with the Contractor to make the Contractor aware of the problem, and to effectively prevent any recurrence of substandard performance. Presentation of a Contract Discrepancy Report is required for recording substandard performance.
