4.1 Quality Assurance. The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under the contract IAW the Government’s Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP).

QASPs are "living documents," dynamic, adaptable, and subject to modification based on Contractor performance surveillance results. The QASP is not part of the PWS and will not be issued with the solicitation. The QASP focuses on the procedures and processes the Government will implement to assure the Contractor is performing IAW the performance standards within the PWS. The Government plan defines the criteria of how the Contractor’s performance will be evaluated, the frequency of surveillance, and the items to be inspected. Although the Government will develop a QASP, Government surveillance of Contractor performance is not limited to the QASP, or the performance objectives, outlined in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS).

The Government retains the right to evaluate all services required by the contract. The

Government will perform inspections and tests in a manner that will not unduly delay the work. If any of the services performed do not conform to contract requirements, the

Contractor shall perform the services again at no additional cost to the Government.

4.2 Quality Control Plan (QCP). Quality control is the responsibility of the Contractor.

The Contractor shall develop, implement, and maintain an effective quality control program which shall be documented in a QCP to ensure services are performed IAW this PWS. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify and prevent the recurrence of defective services. The Contractor’s QCP is how they assure themselves that the work conforms to contract requirements. The basic principle of the plan is that the Contractor is responsible for quality control. The QCP shall be constructed in such a manner that each CLS service can be individually identified. The

Contractor's QCP shall include a separate section, which addresses the Contractor's method of managing quality of work. The QCP shall include a description of the inspection system to address services listed in this PWS, and a description of the methods to be used for identifying and preventing defects in the quality of services performed. The plan shall include a description of the Contractor’s inspection system to include specifics as to areas to be inspected on a scheduled and unscheduled basis, frequency of inspections, and the title and organizational placement of the Contractor’s inspectors. The Contractor shall develop, maintain, and submit a QCP to the KO for acceptance within thirty (30) calendar days after the contract is awarded. The

Contractor shall submit any proposed changes in the QCP to the KO for written approval five (5) working days prior to implementation.
