Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

1. PURPOSE

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government-developed document used to determine if the Contractor's performance meets the performance standards contained in the contract at the contract level.

The QASP establishes procedures on how this assessment/inspection process will be conducted.

The Contractor is responsible for implementing and delivering performance that meets contract standards using its Quality Control Plan. The QASP provides the structure for the Government's surveillance of the Contractor's performance at the contract level to assure that it meets contract standards. It is the Government's responsibility to be objective, fair and consistent in evaluating Contractor performance. The Government should recognize in the performance of the QASP that unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances might occur that are outside the control of the Contractor.

The QASP is not it intended to duplicate the Contractor's quality control plan. This QASP is a living document and will change at the Government’s discretion in accordance with changes in contract requirements and the Government’s determination of the effort required to ensure successful Contractor performance of the contract requirements. Flexibility in the QASP is required to allow for an increase or decrease in the level of surveillance necessary based on Contractor performance.

Bottom line, the Government’s performance of the QASP should ensure early identification and resolution of performance issues to minimize impact on mission performance.
