8.0 SERVICES SUMMARY

8.1. Performance Evaluation. The purpose of the Services Summary is to define performance evaluation. The Performance Objective (column 1) describes what the government will survey. Performance of a service will be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the Performance Threshold (PT) of the contract. When the PT is exceeded, the COR will document the file with a Corrective Action Report (CAR) or a Performance Assessment Report (PAR) and forward these documents to the CO for their determination, if further action is necessary.

8.2. Service Summary (SS). The contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of service required for each requirement. The SS and the contractor’s Quality Control Plan provide information on contract requirements, the expected level of Contractor performance and the expected method of government surveillance and confirmation of services provided. These thresholds are critical to mission success.

Random sampling, periodic inspection and/or validated customer complaint

Normally 1 business day or as coordinated by the COR

Normally 1 business day or as coordinated by the COR

8.3. Quality Control (QC).

Once reviewed and accepted, the QCP shall not be changed without prior review by the CO. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify and prevent defective service and non-performance. As a minimum, the Contractor shall develop quality control procedures addressing the Performance Objectives identified in this Services Summary section. The QCP shall specifically address the contractor’s strategy to provide quality workmanship and continual process improvement for preventing and correcting deficiencies as required.

8.4. Quality Assurance (QA). The government shall inspect and evaluate the contractor’s performance to ensure services are received in accordance with requirements set forth in this PWS. The COR will 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 COR 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 and will be maintained in the contract file. The government may inspect each task as completed or increase the number of quality assurance inspections if deemed appropriate because of repeated failures. Likewise, the government may decrease the number of quality assurance inspections if performance dictates. The government will surveil contractor performance by either random sampling or periodic surveillance. When a performance threshold has not been met or contractor performance has not been accomplished, the COR will initiate and provide the CO a Customer Complaint for issuance to the contractor.

8.5. Multi-Functional Team (MFT). A MFT will be established IAW DAFI 63-138 consisting of the Contract Manager with the CO, Contract Specialist (CS), COR, QA Personnel, and other government personnel. The team will establish how often meetings are needed based on contract complexity. The contractor may request a meeting with the CO when the Contractor believes such a meeting is necessary. If the CO or CS deems necessary, written minutes of any such meetings shall be recorded by the contractor and provided to the CO and CS in order to be maintained in the contract file. If the CO does not concur with any portion of the minutes, such nonoccurrence shall be provided in writing to the Contractor within 10 working days following receipt of the minutes.

8.6. Standards. Failing to meet the performance threshold as outlined in the SS for any of these performance objectives in any combination for any two or more consecutive or non-consecutive months during a contract period may result in a warning or letter of concern from the CO. All remedies for service not meeting the thresholds in the SS, above, will be in accordance with FAR clause 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance.

8.7. Customer Complaints. The COR will receive and investigate customer complaints. The COR will initially validate customer complaints. The CO shall make final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) in cases of disagreement with the COR and the Contractor.

8.8. Periodic Progress Meetings. The CO, Functional Commander, COR, other government personnel as appropriate, and the Contractor shall periodically meet to discuss the contractor’s performance. The following issues shall be discussed: opportunities to improve the contract, any modifications required of the contract, unsatisfactory inspections and trends against each performance objective observed, positive performance, and steps taken by the contractor to prevent unsatisfactory occurrences in the future. The contractor shall provide a summation of unsatisfactory inspections and customer complaints and provide insight into any identified trends. The contractor may request a meeting with the CO. The minutes of these meetings will be signed by the CO and any other individuals deemed appropriate and distributed to the functional area and the Contractor.
