Contract Surveillance Plan for

EXCOMM

1. Purpose

This Contract Surveillance Plan (CSP) document is developed and applied by the Government to ensure systematic Quality Assurance (QA) methods are used in the administration and surveillance of tasking under the Contract. The intent is to ensure the Contractor performs in accordance with (IAW) the Statement of Work (SOW), and the Government receives the quality of services called for in each Task Order (TO) SOW.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Webster Outlying Field (WOLF)

Integrated C2 & Intel (IC2&I) Division integrates and delivers products for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance

(C5ISR) systems. As the organic Lead Systems Integrator (oLSI), IC2&I Division provides non-repetitive, rapid response solutions to close critical communication capability gaps for the U.S.

Military, National Agencies, and other Government Program Offices. The SOW scope includes engineering and equipment installation services from concept through deployment of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) systems including legacy, current, and next generation shipboard interior and Exterior Communications (EXCOMM); shipboard radios;

and transportable, airborne, and fixed shore termination communications systems, subsystems, and components.

This contract will have Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) term Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).

The Contract will have a five-year ordering period. A properly executed CSP will assist the

Government in achieving the objectives of this procurement.

2. Authority

Authority for issuance of this CSP is provided under Contract Section E - Inspection and

Acceptance, which provides for inspections and acceptance of the services, products and documentation called for in the Contract executed by the Contracting Officer (KO) or a duly authorized representative.

3. Scope

To fully understand the roles and responsibilities of the parties, it is important to first define the distinction in terminology between Quality Control Plan (QCP) and the CSP. The Contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for the QCP, which defines the management and quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth in the Contract and all resultant

TOs.

The CSP provides Government surveillance oversight of the Contractor’s efforts to assure they are timely, effective, and delivering the results specified in the Contract and each TO.

GPL: The GPL is responsible for assisting in administering of specific efforts under the

Contract. A GPL cannot, in any manner, alter the scope of the Contract, make commitments or authorize any changes on the Government’s behalf.

6. Methods of QA Surveillance

a. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS): The marketplace for engineering and equipment installation services for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems is very competitive. As such, the successful

Offeror has a vested interest in the Government-generated CPARS under this Contract.

Additionally, an evaluation using the CPARS format will be performed at the end of each ordering year. This evaluation will be one (1) determinant in the award of future TOs. The

Government will address the quality of product or service, schedule, cost control, business relations, management, utilization of Small Business (SB), and other important areas for this procurement. Some of the monitoring methods to be used will be Government observation, review of reports, customer feedback and review of Contract Data Requirements Lists

(CDRLs). As this information may affect future source selections throughout the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as the continuation of this tasking, the annual Government assessment will be used appropriately as an additional performance oversight and communication tool within the policies of this CSP.

b. CSP: This document will be used by the COR, ACOR, and GPLs in the technical administration of this contract. In addition to the below instructions, the form to be used for documentation of QA surveillance is the checklist provided herein.

7. Surveillance

Enclosure (2) sets forth the performance standards, incentives and surveillance methods for the

Contractor, the COR and GPLs while Enclosures (1) and (3) provides the checklist and means for the COR to document the results of the surveillance and will be the Surveillance Activity

Checklist (SAC).

8. Documentation

In addition to providing reports to the KO, the COR will maintain a complete QA file. The file will contain copies of all reports, evaluations, recommendations and any actions related to the

Contractor’s performance of the QA function, including the originals of the QA Checklists. All such records will be maintained for the life of the Contract. The COR will forward these records to the KO at termination or completion of the Contract.

Annual Surveillance Completed By: _______________________

Date Completed: ________________

All SOW and CDRL tasks, including sub-tasks, will be assessed focusing on the following.

Quality of Product or Service: Assess the Contractor’s effort to transform operational needs and requirements into an integrated solution. Areas of focus may include the planning and management of program tasks, the quality of support provided throughout all phases of contract execution, the integration of program management specialties, management of interfaces and the management of a totally integrated effort of all program management concerns to meet cost, performance and schedule objectives. Assess how successfully the Contractor meets program quality.

Schedule: Assess the Contractor’s adherence to the required delivery schedule by assessing the Contractor’s efforts during the assessment period that contribute to or effect the schedule variance. Also address significance of scheduled events (i.e., design reviews), discuss causes and assess the effectiveness of Contractor corrective actions.

Source Selection Information 9 UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Cost Control: Assess the Contractor’s effectiveness in forecasting, managing and controlling contract cost. Is the Contractor experiencing cost growth or under-run? If so, discuss the causes and Contractor proposed solutions for the cost overruns. For contracts where task or contract sizing is based upon Contractor provided person hour estimates, the relationship of these estimates to ultimate cost should be assessed. In addition, the extent to which the Contractor demonstrates a sense of cost responsibility, through the efficient use of resources in each work effort should be assessed.

Business Relations: Assess the timelines, completeness and quality of problem identification; corrective action plans; proposal submittals; the Contractor’s reasonable and cooperative behavior; effective business relations; and customer satisfaction.

Management: Assess the Contractor’s success with timely award and management of subcontracts, including whether the Contractor met small/small disadvantage and women-owned business participation goals. Discuss the extent to which the Contractor discharges its responsibility for integration and coordination of all activity needed to execute the Contract; identifies and applies resources required to meet schedule requirements; assigns responsibility for tasks/actions required by contract; communicates appropriate information to affected program elements in a timely manner. Assess the Contractor’s risk mitigation plans.

Utilization of SB: The Request for Proposal (RFP) and FAR Subpart 19.7 and 15 U.S.C. 637 contains statutory requirements for complying with the SB Subcontracting Program. Assess whether the Contractor provided maximum practicable opportunity for SB

(including Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs) and Indian Tribes) (including Small Disadvantaged Businesses (which also includes

ANCs and Indian Tribes), Women Owned SBs (WOSBs), HUBZone, Veteran Owned SBs (VOSBs), Service Disabled Veteran

Owned SB (SDVOSB), and ANCs and Indian Tribes that are not Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs) or SBs) to participate in contract performance consistent with efficient performance of the Contract. Evaluation will focus on the metrics of actual SB utilization as compared to the Contract required targets and the Contractor’s submitted SB plan.

Other areas: Assess additional evaluation areas unique to the Contract or that cannot be captured elsewhere.

The evaluation ratings are as follows:

Exceptional Performance: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

Source Selection Information 10 UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Very Good Performance: Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory Performance: Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Marginal Performance: Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

Unsatisfactory Performance: Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.
