2. Service Delivery Summary

2.1. Service Delivery Summary (SDS). The contract supply and service requirements are summarized in performance objectives that relate directly to specific job requirements.

The performance threshold is the maximum number of defective items in a lot that can be considered satisfactory. The performance threshold for each service to be performed can be found in the chart below. When the number of defects for a specified service (or lot) is below the performance threshold, the work will be considered satisfactory.

However, the Contractor is still required to correct any deficiency, if possible. Each service that is performed will be determined acceptable or deficient according to the inspection rating that is received. The SDS and the Contractor's Quality Control Plan (QCP) provide information on contract requirements; the expected level of contractor performance; and the expected method of government validation and confirmation of services provided.
