Summary (SS) and the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan provide information on contract requirements, the expected level of Contractor performance and the expected method of government validation and confirmation of services provided. These thresholds are critical to mission success.
Procedures as set forth in the FAR 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance, will be used to remedy all deficiencies.

2.1 Quality Control
Develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-performance, and a continual repeat of poor service does not occur. Submit a written Quality Control Plan to the KO for review and feedback. Provide a written description of the quality control system to include identification of the standard industry practices, such as those of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI), and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Include the inspection system requirements of FAR
52.246-4 in this document. Submit the plan no later than the pre-performance conference.

The Government may use any method to inspect and evaluate the Contractor’s performance to ensure that services have fulfilled the contract obligations on quality and quantity. Inspections include validating actual work performance, physically checking an attribute of the completed task, validating a management information report, investigating customer complaints, and conferring with facility managers. The KO or COR will use the Contractor’s work schedule or a modified version thereof, to record validation results. Results of the validation then become the official Air
Force record of the Contractor’s performance. When a performance threshold has not been met or
Contractor performance has not been accomplished, the COR will initiate and provide the KO a
Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) DD Form 2772 for issuance to the Contractor. The Contractor shall respond to the CDR IAW instructions provided and return it to the KO within one
(1) calendar days of receipt.
2.3 Performance Assessment
2.3.1 Unsatisfactory Performance
Unsatisfactory performance is defined as the service does not meet most contractual requirements, and recovery is not likely on time. Failing to meet the performance threshold, for any performance objectives, in any one month, may result in a warning or letter of concern. An unsatisfactory inspection is recorded and may require re-performance of the service. Failing to meet the performance threshold objectives for any two or more consecutive may constitute an immediate
Progress Meeting with the Multi-functional Team.
2.3.2 Periodic Progress Meetings
The KO, Functional Commander, QAP, other government personnel as appropriate, and the
Contractor will periodically meet to discuss the Contractor’s performance. The issues addressed range from opportunities to improve the contract, any modifications required of the contract, unsatisfactory inspections and trends against each performance objective observed, positive performance, and steps taken by the Contractor to prevent unacceptable occurrences in the future.
The Contractor is to provide a summation of unsatisfactory inspections and customer complaints and provide insight into any identified trends. The KO signs the written meeting minutes, and any other signatures as deemed appropriate, distributed to the functional area and the Contractor.
Should the Contractor not concur with the minutes, the Contractor will provide written notification to the KO identifying areas of non-concurrence for resolution.

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) have entered into a federal facility agreement/interagency agreement (FFA/IAG), and if applicable to the work performed under this contract, the Government will provide the Contractor a copy of the FFA/IAG and any amendments to it, which exist at the time of contract award. As applicable, future amendments to the FFA/IAG will be provided to the Contractor when they become effective.

6.2 Appendix B: VAFB Refrigerant Service Order Form
Vandenberg Space Force Base
6.3 Appendix C ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
B1 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
1.1 Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) Contractors, and their subcontractors, shall comply with the most stringent federal, state, and local environmental laws, regulations, and Air Force policies, instructions, and plans.
The federal Government is not exempt from compliance with environmental regulations. The Contractor shall maintain an awareness of changing environmental regulatory requirements to avoid environmental deficiencies for activities on VAFB.
1.2 Environmental Coordination: The 30th Civil Engineering Squadron, Environmental Flight (30 CES/CEI) is the single point of contact for coordination with all environmental regulatory agencies. The Contractor shall provide copies of any regulatory agency notification, report, consultation, permit, and/or regulatory document to
30 CES/CEI.
1. The Contractor shall comply with all permit conditions and consultation requirements.
2. The Contractor shall provide all required testing analysis and monitoring.
3. The contractor may obtain VAFB environmental documents and plans from 30 CES/CEI.
1.3 Environmental Planning: The Contractor shall comply with all testing, monitoring, record keeping, reporting, mitigation, and protection measure requirements resulting from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Environmental Impact Analysis Process (EIAP), and the VAFB AF IMT 332 process. To initiate NEPA and
EIAP, submit an AF Form 813 to the Planning Office in 30 CES/CEI. Completion of the NEPA and EIAP processes can take between three weeks to one year to complete. Early coordination is highly advised.
1.4 Environmental Audits/Inspections: The Contractor shall support the Government with all federal, state, local, and Air Force environmental inspections, audits, or assessments.
1.5 Notices of Violation (NOV): The Contractor shall be liable for any Notices of Violation (NOV), enforcement action, fine, penalty, and/or corrective action imposed by federal, state, or local environmental regulatory agencies for activities under the Contractor’s control. The Contractor shall provide verbal notification to 30 CES/CEI and the Contracting Officer within 24- hours of receiving an NOV followed by written notification within three (3) working days.
B3. SPILL OR RELEASE AND CLEANUP REQUIREMENTS
3.1The Contractor shall comply with, but not limited to: 30 SW Plans, 32-4002-C, Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures Plan; 32-7043-A, Hazardous Waste Management Plan; 32-7043-E, Recoverable and Waste
Petroleum Products Management Plan; 32-7086, HAZMAT Management Plan; and 32-4002-A, HAZMAT
Emergency Response Plan.
3.2 Notification: When the Contractor has a spill or release, then the Contractor shall immediately notify 30
CES/CEI, (805) 606-1921 / 605-2015, fax (805) 734-1339, the Command Post, (805) 606- 9961, and the
Contracting Officer. Based on the Reportable Quantity of the contractor's spill or release, 30 CES/CEI will determine if an environmental regulatory agency incident release report will need to be prepared and submitted based on the reportable quantity of the contractor's spill or release. (Note: If a regulatory agency incident release reporting action is required for the Contractor’s spill or release on VAFB, then 30 CES/CEI is responsible to notify the appropriate regulatory agency within the mandated reporting period).
3.3 Reporting: When the Contractor has a spill or release, then the Contractor shall provide a copy of the
Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) Hazardous Materials Incident Reporting Form and any other required documentation to 30 CES/CEI, (805) 606-1921 / 605- 2015, fax (805) 734-1339, for 30 CES/CEI to provide the appropriate regulatory agency’s mandatory reporting. (References: 30 SW Plan, 32-7043-A, Hazardous Waste Management Plan, Appendix 8; EPP; or 30 SW Plan, 32-4002-A, HAZMAT Emergency
Response Plan).
3.4 Clean-up: The Contractor shall take immediate actions involving hazardous material spill or release to properly contain, clean up, make notifications, and provide final cleanup documentation for their spill or release. When the
Contractor is unable to conduct proper cleanup activities for a spill or release, then immediate notification to the
Government is required. The Government reserves the right to conduct the mandatory clean-up activities until the
