2. Services Summary.

The contractor service delivery requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to standards of performance required to meet mission essential needs. For the Performance Objective to be met, service delivery must be in substantial compliance with applicable performance standards. The Performance Threshold describes the minimum overall levels of service delivery required for acceptable quality control. Failure to meet these Performance Thresholds means that contractor Quality Control is unacceptable. The following is a list of the key performance objectives that will be verified as contractually compliant by Government personnel; however, inspection of any contract requirement is authorized.
