12 QUALITY

12.1 Quality Control

Quality control is the Contractor’s responsibility. The Contractor shall identify and control non-conformances through root cause analysis, corrective actions, preventive actions, etc. The Contractor shall maintain an organized record of non-conformances and corrective actions taken.

http://www.jble.af.mil/

The Contractor shall respond to and correct all Government-identified non-conformances IAW time frames specified by the CO.

12.2 Quality Assurance

The Government will perform quality assurance surveillance and will evaluate the Contractor’s performance IAW this PWS and the Services Summary in Appendix A. This does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for quality control, nor does it limit the Government’s rights under any of the terms of the contract. The absence of any PWS or contract requirement from the Services Summary does not detract from its enforceability nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government under any other terms of the contract.

12.2.1 Access. The Contractor shall, on a non-interference basis, provide the CO or their authorized representative with access to all work areas, records, and data used in the performance of the contracted services within one workday of access being requested.

12.2.2 Minor Non-conformance. A minor non-conformance is a non-conformance which, by itself, does not adversely impact: the mission; the safety of personnel or equipment; or program performance, schedule, or cost. A minor non-conformance does not increase risk to the Government. Minor non-conformances are typically low risk and are communicated through notices; first notices are issued for any identified non-conformance, second notices are issued for repeat non-conformances or failing to correct issues within a reasonable amount of time. Upon receipt of a non-conformance notification (first or second notice), the Contractor shall complete applicable sections and return it to the CO within time constraints directed by the CO in the notice. A formal corrective action plan is not required for notices.

12.2.3 Major Non-conformance. A major non-conformance is a non-conformance that does adversely impact (or has the potential to adversely impact): the mission; the safety of personnel and/or equipment; or program performance, schedule, or cost. A major non-conformance increases risk to the Government. An example of increasing risk would be a significant number of recurring non-conformances, minor or major, which is an indication of inadequate quality control and lowers the Government’s confidence that the Contractor can provide quality services on time and within costs. The CO will communicate major non-conformances on a Corrective Action Request (CAR) form. Upon receipt of a CAR, the Contractor shall develop and provide a corrective action plan by the suspense date identified by the CAR. At a minimum, the Contractor’s corrective action plan will address:

a. Action taken (or to be taken and when) to fix the immediate non-conformance.

b. Findings from a root cause analysis of the problem.

c. Corrective action taken (or to be taken and when) to resolve the cause of the problem.

d. Actions to be taken to prevent recurrence of the non-conformance.

13 ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
