9.0 Performance Requirement Summary (PRS)

9.1 The Performance Requirement Summary identifies the Performance Objectives that are considered critical in determining successful Contractor performance for the multi-mission parachute course. It identifies both the Performance Objectives and the Performance Standard required for each Performance Objective from the PWS.

9.2 Performance Evaluation. Performance of a service will be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance standard. Inspections may be performed by the COR or any tenant of the facilities designated by the COR. Re-performance/correction of action is the preferred method of correcting any unacceptable services. If an unacceptable service is annotated on a Contract Discrepancy Report (DA Form 5479-R) the Contractor shall provide the Government written response stating why the performance standard was not met, how the performance will be returned to acceptable levels, and how recurrence of the cause will be prevented in the future.
