2.1 Quality Control The contractor shall develop and maintain a quality control program to ensure site sustainment services are performed in accordance with commonly accepted commercial practices and services identified in this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-performance and continual repeat of defective service does not occur.

The QAP shall inspect by watching actual task performance, physically checking an attribute of the completed task, checking a management information report, investigating customer complaints, conferring with facility managers, or otherwise inspecting the task or its results to determine whether or not performance meets the standards contained in this PWS. The QAP will use the contractor’s work schedule or modified version thereof, to record surveillance results. Results of the surveillance then become the official Air Force record of the Contractor’s performance. When a performance threshold has not been met or contractor performance has not been accomplished, the QAP will initiate and provide the Contracting Officer a Contract Action Report (CAR) for issuance to the contractor. The contractor shall respond to the CAR IAW instructions provided and return it to the Contracting Officer within 10 calendar days of receipt.

Any deficiency shall be documented and the contractor shall re-perform service immediately, if appropriate, or within 24 hours at no increase in contract amount. Any unsatisfactory inspection identified but re-performed acceptably shall still be counted as an unsatisfactory inspection for trending purposes.

Receiving two or more unsatisfactory 100% assessment within a 12 month period may result in unsatisfactory past performance documentation. Continued receipt of unsatisfactory 100% assessment during the contract period shall constitute a negative trend and the Contracting Officer may take any appropriate action in accordance with the FAR 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance.

2.3.2 Periodic Assessment. This method requires the QAP to employ a “spot check” style of evaluation based on the contractor’s schedule.

Any unsatisfactory inspection (defect) result shall be recorded, and the Contractor shall re-perform the service after notification by the QAP.

Failing to meet the performance threshold as outlined in the SS for any of these performance objectives in any one month period shall result in a warning or letter of concern from the Contracting Officer.

Failing to meet the performance threshold as outlined in the SS of these performance objectives in any combination for any two, or more consecutive or non-consecutive months during a contract period shall constitute an immediate Progress Meeting with the Multi-functional Team. All remedies shall be in accordance with the FAR 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance.
