· The QASP is not part of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and is not part of the contract.

· The QASP:

-- is mandatory for performance-based services acquisitions -- is required by the FAR -- describes what will be inspected, who will do the inspection, when and where they will do it, and how they will do it -- is an internal document that describes HOW the Government will verify WHAT it is paying for -- is an inspection plan to determine if the contractor produced the results required by the PWS -- does not go to the contractor

· Prepare the QASP at the same time you’re preparing the SOW; however, the Government can either prepare the QASP or have the offerors submit a proposed QASP for the Government to consider in developing the Government’s plan.

· FAR does not specify format for QASP.

· Your inspections must focus on the contractor’s results, not its processes, unless the PWS specifies processes for some tasks.

· Determine if service is a PROJECT or an OPERATION.

· A PROJECT is one result to inspect, unless you inspect intermediate results, e.g., mopping floors, emptying wastebaskets.

· An OPERATION is continuous or repetitive performance. You must decide whether to inspect each instance of the performance of a task (which is called 100% inspection) or only some instances, e.g., providing maintenance services for Government-owned computer equipment. You may want to review validated customer complaints, unscheduled inspections, perform random sampling of some operations, and conduct 100% inspection on other operations.

· If using performance incentives, these incentives must correspond to specific performance standards in the QASP and must be capable of being measured objectively.
