6.1. Performance Assessment: This method requires the COR to employ a “spot check” style of evaluation based on the contractor’s performance schedule. Periodic validations will be conducted on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annually) and may be adjusted, at the government’s discretion, based on quality trends. The schedule or modified version thereof, shall be used for COR scheduled inspections and results documentation.

Any unsatisfactory inspection (defect) result shall be recorded, and the contractor shall re-perform the service within the time parameters listed in the Services Summary.

Exceeding the performance threshold for any of these performance objectives in any one month period may result in a warning or letter of concern from the CO.

Exceeding the performance threshold of these performance objectives, in any combination for any two, or more consecutive or non-consecutive months during a performance year may constitute justification to hold an immediate Progress Meeting with the Multi-functional Team. All remedies shall be in accordance with the FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance.

6.2. Complaints. The COR will receive and investigate customer complaints. The COR shall be responsible for initially validating customer complaints. The CO shall make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement between the COR and the contractor. Validated customer complaints shall be re-performed in accordance with the Services Summary.

6.3. Performance of Services during Crisis Declared by the National Command Authority or Overseas Combatant Commander. IAW DODI 1100.22 Policy and Procedures for Determining Workforce Mix, and any applicable AF implementation (unless otherwise directed by an authorized government representative), services under this PWS have been determined by the Functional Commander/Functional Director as being not mission essential during Force Protection Condition Delta; however, they will be required to continue services during Force Protection Conditions Charlie.

6.4. Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR). The contractor shall report all contractor labor hours (including sub-contractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract for “U.S. Air Force” via a secure data collection site. The contractor is required to

While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October 31 of each calendar year. Contractors may direct questions to the electronic Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (eCMRA) help desk.

6.5. Non-Personal Services and/or Inherently Governmental Services. The government will neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the contractor performs the required tasks. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to manage its employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services, or give the perception of personal services. If the contractor feels that any actions constitute, or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the contractor's responsibility to notify the CO immediately. These services shall not be used to perform work of a policy/decision making or management nature, (e.g., inherently governmental functions). All decisions relative to programs supported by the contractor shall be the sole responsibility of the government.
