2.1.2.14.3.1.4. QMP Acceptance Process. During the transition period, the government will review the QMP for acceptance. After the GPM and ACO accepts, but no later than the end of the entire transition period, the contractor will begin gathering data according to the QMP, creating the required performance measures, and using them to monitor contractor performance levels. Each performance measure has a performance standard established by the
SDS.
2.1.2.14.3.1.5. Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA). The contractor is required to have separate QC and QA functions.
2.1.2.14.3.1.5.1. The QC function should focus mainly on inspection, detection, and correction of product and service defects. This function will operate at the lower levels of work and can be done by first and second line supervisors or separate QC staff.
2.1.2.14.3.1.5.2. The contractor will assign individuals as QC inspectors for each functional area. Each inspector must be an expert in the field with enough experience to determine non- conforming services and products. The contractor will forward the names and qualifications of their QC inspectors to the GPM and ACO prior to their placement into the positions. The positions must remain filled at all times.
2.1.2.14.3.1.5.3. The QA function should focus mainly on the QM and the proper delivery of PWS requirements and SDSs. The QA function should perform such tasks as auditing and evaluating of PWS processes (fulfillment of requirements, process improvement, and prevention of non-conformance) and validation of SDSs (proper delivery, data accuracy, successful outcomes, and corrective actions).
2.1.2.14.3.1.5.4. The contractor will assign individuals as QA auditors for each Service
Area Group (SAG). The auditor must have specific training and experience in the functional area. Additionally, they must have sufficient program knowledge and familiarity to determine if planned performance outcomes and customer satisfaction are being achieved. The contractor will forward the names and qualification of their QA auditors to the GPM and ACO prior to their placement into the positions.

CORs will have complete access to the information.
2.1.2.14.3.2. Contractor’s Customer Satisfaction Plan: On the first day of the transition period, the contractor will submit a Customer Satisfaction Plan to the GPM and ACO for acceptance.
During the transition period, the government will review the plan. After acceptance, but no later than the end of the entire transition period, the contractor will implement the plan. The plan should demonstrate the contractor’s ability to manage customer satisfaction and complaints while satisfying the criteria detailed below. In the plan, the contractor should clearly describe:
2-1-13
2.1.2.14.3.2.1. The strategy that will be used to manage customer satisfaction issues, data, and plans.
2.1.2.14.3.2.2. The customer complaint process, including a strategy for validating, resolving, recording, filing, and controlling complaints.

2.1.2.14.3.2.4. The analysis process to highlight factors driving performance.
2.1.2.14.3.3. Performance Management Process: The performance management process is comprised of several components:
2.1.2.14.3.3.1. Communicating Expectations. The performance management process depends upon free and open communications between the government and the contractor. Performance expectations for the service areas are delineated in the PWS and SDSs. The contractor will keep the government informed of the status of outside taskings and roadblocks to performance.
2.1.2.14.3.3.2. Validating Performance Outcomes and Data. The PWS contains a list of SDSs that describe outcomes and performance standards. Each SDS will have an individual metric worksheet that contains definitions, standards, and methods of calculation and validation. The metric worksheets will be provided to the contractor on the first day of the transition period.
2.1.2.14.3.3.2.1. The contractor QA/QC functions will validate performance outcomes and source data throughout each performance month and forward the results in a monthly report to the PMO. The CORs will perform separate validations and compare their results to the contractor’s. If there are differences in findings, the GPM will work with the contractor’s
Quality Manager to resolve the difference(s). The GPM will make a final determination and notify the contractor’s Quality Manager.
2.1.2.14.3.3.2.2. Prior to the transition period the government will provide the contractor an updated slate of outcomes and metrics that have been changed during the interim between the last request for proposals and the transition start date.
2.1.2.14.3.3.2.3. The government will provide the contractor with any known data sources for the performance measures. The contractor will collect and maintain the source data for all of the performance measures and make this data available to the government for validation.
2.1.2.14.3.3.3. Performance Measurement. SDSs are stratified into three categories with each category assigned a total number of Quality Performance Indicator points (QPI) that are available: Tier One Performance Outcomes (50 QPI pts), Tier Two Performance Outcomes
(30 QPI pts), and Compliance Metrics (20 QPI pts). Upon recommendation from the GPM and approval by the Functional Commander (FC), the Administrative Contracting Officer
(ACO) may unilaterally change the QPIs available to be earned by providing written notice to the contractor. Changes to the QPIs shall be effective on the first day following a full calendar month subsequent to an ACO notification to the contractor. Changes to the QPIs shall be limited to not more than 45 points during any consecutive three-month period.
2.1.2.14.3.3.3.1. Service Area Group (SAG). SAGs are administrative devices that allow the government to bundle similar functions into groups to compartmentalize performance.
2-1-14
The SAGs are employed for metric reporting for performance outcomes, compliance, and customer satisfaction. The SAGs are as follows:
Airfield Support (AS): Airfield Mgmt, Transient Maintenance, Foreign Object Damage
(FOD), Static Displays, and Weather
Base-Wide Support (BWS): Human Resources, Community Services, and Resource
Mgmt
Civil Engineering (CE): Housing Mgmt, Operations and Maintenance, Space Mgmt, Emergency Mgmt, Engineering Services, Environmental, Energy and Utility Mgmt, Custodial, and CE Resource Mgmt
Information Technology (IT): Comm and Info Technology and Publishing Mgmt
Logistics (LG): Supply and Transportation
2.1.2.14.3.3.3.2. SDS Data. Throughout the month of performance the contractor will collect the metric data corresponding to each SDS as identified in the Metric Worksheets. Not later than the 15th business day following the month of performance they will deliver the monthly Performance Management Report (PMR) to the PMO. Each SDS will have a separate slide. The CORs will do data sampling throughout the month to validate the accuracy of the data used in the report. In some cases the SDS data is provided by the government CORs through evaluations, inspections, and reports. This information will be provided to the contactor not later than the 10th business day of the month following performance.
2.1.2.14.3.3.3.3. Performance Metrics (PM): PMs are the tools the government uses to evaluate the contractor’s performance against the PWS standards. There are three types of PMs in this contract: Tier One Outcomes, Tier Two Outcomes, and Compliance Metrics The government will provide a metric worksheet for each PM. The worksheets will contain a performance standard, a data system to be used, describe how the metric is produced, the calculation method, frequency of occurrence, and the government oversight methodology.
2.1.2.14.3.4. The GPM may unilaterally change metric worksheets for things such as data sources, oversight methodology, and inspection/validation frequency. Changes will take effect the 1st business day of the month following contractor notification.
2.1.2.14.3.4.1. The Government may unilaterally modify, delete, change, or replace PMs as the mission and priorities of Maxwell-Gunter evolve. Such changes will be approved by the GPM and will be limited to no more than 10% of the total number of PMs over any 3 month period.
The contractor will be notified at least 30 calendar days prior to implementing changes.
Changes will take effect the 1st calendar day of the month following 30 day contractor notification. This will not apply to metrics that are removed as a result of a descope or
PWS change. These changes will be effective on the date of the contract modification.
2.1.2.14.3.4.2. The GPM at his/her discretion may elect to suspend a performance metric(s) from the monthly calculation/reporting should the GPM determine that unanticipated factors unduly influenced the contractor’s performance, e.g., natural disaster, major accident, changes in data, data-capture software, or oversight methodology, etc.
2.1.2.14.3.4.3. Tier One Outcomes (T1O): T1Os are single SDS metrics that are used to measure the most important PWS outcomes. They are identified under the heading of “Metric
Type” in the metric worksheets. 50 QPI points will be distributed across all T1Os that are
2-1-15 completed each month.
2.1.2.14.3.4.4. Tier Two Outcomes (T2O): T2Os are used to measure less important PWS outcomes. They are identified under the heading of “Metric Type” in the metric worksheets. 30
QPI points will be distributed across all T2Os that are completed each month.
2.1.2.14.3.4.5. Compliance Metrics (CM): There will be four CMs (CE, IT, LG, BWS).
Compliance Metrics are roll-ups of compliance inspections performed by CORs throughout a specific month. These metrics have been created to measure contractor compliance with directive publications listed in PWS Appendix “A” for all service areas (i.e., T.O.s, AFIs, DoDI, JFTR, NA, UFC, AFOSH stds, etc.). 20 QPI points will be distributed across all CMs that are completed each month.
2.1.2.14.3.4.6. CORs will develop inspection questions taken from directive publications on the contract and submit them to the PMO for addition to the compliance inspection database.
Most compliance questions will come from AETC and HAF Inspector General (IG)
Checklists and Self-Assessment Checklists (SAG).
2.1.2.14.3.4.6.1. All individual compliance inspections will be graded as Pass or Fail. At the end of every month inspection results will be sorted into the appropriate SAGs and pass rates will be established. Any individual compliance inspection that fails will be re-inspected the following month unless the contractor has submitted a CAR to the PMO with and approved Estimated Completion Date (ECD), in which case it will be re-inspected the month following the ECD. Repeat failures of compliance inspections in two consecutive months/inspections will automatically fail the SAG compliance metric for that month.
2.1.2.14.3.4.6.2. During the transition phase of the contract the PMO will provide the contractor an initial bank of compliance questions.
2.1.2.14.3.4.6.3. CORs will observe ongoing contracted operations for Detected Safety
Violations (DSVs), Unsatisfactory Conditions (UCs), or Technical Data Violations (TDVs).
These events, when detected, will carry an additional 0.5 percentage point penalty that will be counted against the associated SAG Compliance Metric.
2.1.2.14.3.4.7. The government believes the customer is in the best position to directly evaluate the contractor’s performance. Therefore, the government places a high degree of emphasis on soliciting and analyzing customer feedback. Customer satisfaction will be measured using a method(s) of feedback that can be analyzed. The contractor manages this process and shares results with the government.
2.1.2.14.3.4.7.1. Customer Complaints. All customer complaints will be taken seriously.
The government has several SDS items that use customer complaints as the measure of success. They are used to evaluate outcomes where the customer base is small or no quantitative measure could easily be developed. All complaints must be reported to the PMO as soon as they become available. The PMO will forward all valid complaints to the contactor as soon as possible. The government will use complaints to track trends and surface possible areas where the contractor needs to improve.
2.1.2.14.3.4.7.1.1. The contractor will ensure that a customer complaint process is well established and that they maximize their efforts to solicit feedback using all necessary methods at their disposal, such as: base paper, website, electronic feedback forms, email, open kiosk, etc.
2-1-16
2.1.2.14.3.4.7.1.2. It is the contractor’s responsibility to manage the complaint process and resolve valid complaints. All valid customer complaints will require the contractor to fill out a
Corrective Action Report (CAR). Upon completion of a CAR a copy of the report will be forwarded promptly to the PMO. The CAR will contain all elements as discussed in paragraph above. All CARS will describe the root cause and corrective action for the complaint.
