The performance threshold briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of service required for each condition of this contract. All services to be performed by the Contractor during the period of this contract will be subject to review by the CO.

2.2 Performance Evaluation: Performance of a service shall be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance requirements of this contract.

In the case of issued Corrective Action Reports (CARs), the CO shall take appropriate measures according to inspection of services clauses in the contract, FAR 52.246-4 or FAR 52.212-4.

CARs may categorize nonconformance as minor, major or critical IAW the following FAR 46.101 definitions below.

“Minor nonconformance” means a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services.

“Major nonconformance” means a nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose.

“Critical nonconformance” means a nonconformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; or is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission.

2.3 The Contractor shall be aware that in the absence of any contract requirement from the Service Summary (SS) does not detract from its enforceability nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government under any other provision of the contract. The Contractor shall ensure the following SS requirements are accomplished:
