To meet this objective, the Contractor shall adhere to the following core principles:

a. Compliance: The Contractor shall ensure all work performed meets the most stringent of all applicable Federal, State, and Host Nation laws, regulations, and directives, including all publications listed in Section 7 of this PWS.

b. Performance: All services tendered to the Government for acceptance must conform to the specific, measurable performance standards of quality, timeliness, and quantity detailed throughout this PWS and its associated Technical Exhibits (TE).

c. Management Philosophy: The Government’s intent is to establish performance-based and results-oriented requirements. The Contractor is expected to use innovation and commercial best practices to determine the most cost-effective ways to fulfill all contractual obligations, from administrative reporting to the execution of all technical services.

Governing Standards and Order of Precedence.

The Contractor shall provide all services in accordance with all applicable directives, publications, and forms listed in this PWS. This includes, but is not limited to, adhering to all German industry standards (e.g., Deutsche Institut fuer Normung - DIN) when performing maintenance, repair, and construction.
