Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan Reference to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Clause 52.212-4(a)

Inspection/Acceptance. The inspection and acceptance procedures specified within this contract set forth a general policy that only the services performed by the Contractor in strict accordance with the Scope of Work will merit payment. The Government will inspect and monitor the Contractor's performance by appointing a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or other government representative to monitor performance to ensure services are received under this contract. The COR or government representative will evaluate the Contractor's performance through an on-site presence and receipt of complaints from government employees. The Government will also receive and investigate complaints from government employees or industry.

The COR shall be responsible for initially validating customer complaints and shall make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement with customer(s).

Performance Objectives Scope of Work - see Paragraphs 1 & 2 Scope of Work Performance threshold - No more than 4 customer complaints during life of contract. Non-compliance with SOW may be grounds for cancellation of contract.

Table 5.1 Performance Threshold DEDUCTION 1st complaint Written Warning 2nd complaint 10% Weekly Salary for one week 3rd complaint 25% Weekly Salary for one week 4th complaint Termination/Replacement

These deductions may be made from payment due the Contractor by the Government should the Contractor fail to meet performance threshold.

Failure to comply with the Scope of Work will result in a complaint up to cancellation of the contract depending on the severity of the non-compliance.

Quality Control The contractor shall utilize their own internal quality control processes to ensure services are performed in accordance with commonly accepted commercial practices and this scope of work.
