The contractor is responsible for the delivery of quality services/supplies to the Government (see FAR 52.212-4, Contractor Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items). A formal Quality Control Plan (QCP) is not required for this commercial service. However, the contractor shall maintain an inspection system commensurate with commercial practices to ensure the Contractor as well as their subcontractors only tender for acceptance those items or services that conform to the requirements of this contract all applicable laws and regulations.

The contractor shall maintain communications (direct and indirect) with the Government regarding performance of the contract.

The Contractor shall reply in writing within four (4) hours from the time of receipt of the NCR, giving the reasons for the unsatisfactory performance, corrective action taken, and procedures to preclude recurrence.

1.7.1 Non-conforming Supplies or Services: When a contractor’s performance does not meet contract requirements and/or approved work schedules and/or timeframes it is considered non-conformance. Non-conformance shall be classified in one of three categories: level I (Minor), level II (Major) or level III (Critical). The Government may re- inspect work designated for re-performance or late performance.

1.7.1.1 Level I (Minor) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance 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. Minor non-conformance usually can be corrected on the spot, where no further Corrective Action Plan CAP response is necessary, and can be issued by the Contracting Officer Representative to the contractor either through a verbal or written non-conformance report. Minor non-conforming services shall be re- performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor non- conformances are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II non-conformance may be issued to the contractor by the Contracting Officer (KO).

1.7.1.2 Level II (Major) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance, 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. Recurring Minor non-conformances, or a non-responsive contractor, indicating a trend or failure of the contractor’s quality control, can also be classified as a Major non-conformance. Major non-conformance’s shall result in the issuance of a written NCR from the KO to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CAP for the root cause, CAP for the specific non-conformance and the date CAPs will be completed.

1.7.1.3 Level III (Critical) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission; is for a repeated or uncorrected level II NCRs; or is for a non- responsive contractor to a level II NCR. Critical non-conformances shall result in the issuance of a written NCR to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CAP for the root cause, CAP for the specific non-conformance and the date CAPs will be completed.

Contracting Officer Representative (COR/ACOR): The Contracting Officer will designate, in writing, a COR/ACOR. The COR/ACOR will have authority to take certain actions specifically provided and within the limitations prescribed in the designation. A copy of the designation will be furnished to the Contractor. In no event will the COR/ACOR, by virtue only of his/her designation as such, empowered to execute or agree to any contract modification thereof. The Contracting Officer will retain the ultimate responsibility for the administration of the contract. Any discrepancy resulting from coordination with or advisement from the COR/ACOR shall be addressed, in writing, to the Contracting Officer.

Quality Assurance: The COR/ACOR will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to include Government collected and graded customer satisfaction comment cards as part of the Government’s performance evaluation process. This plan is primarily focused on what the COR/ACOR must do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable defect rate(s). When an observation indicates defective performance, the COR/ACOR will require the Contractor or designated on-site representative to initial the observation to acknowledge the defective performance. The acknowledgement of the observation does not necessarily constitute Contractor concurrence with the observation, only that the Contractor has been made aware of the defective performance.

1.7.2 Inspection Results: The contractor will be notified of Government inspection results. The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the inspection results. The contractor may be notified of inspection results verbally. Verbal notifications of defective work will be confirmed in writing.
