4.0. GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE APPROACH

4.1. Purpose: This section of the Performance Plan will be used as a guide to Government Quality Assurance Personnel (QAP) and the Functional Commanders (FC). It provides a systematic method to evaluate the services the contractor is required to furnish. The Surveillance/Evaluation Methods identified in this Performance Plan, in concert with the Contractor’s Quality Control Procedures, will assure the Government of acceptable contractor performance.

4.1.1. The Performance Plan is intended to be a “living document”. That is, it should be revised or modified as circumstances warrant throughout the contract period. Following contract award, this document should be reviewed by the QAP to ensure that it will work cooperatively with the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan, but not duplicate its provisions.

4.1.2. The contractor, and not the government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The role of the government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved.

4.1.3. Revisions to the Performance Plan: Revisions to this plan are the responsibility of the functional area and must be coordinated through the Contracting Officer and the Quality Assurance Program Coordinator.

4.2. Surveillance Procedures

4.2.1. Performing Surveillance: Actual surveillance must be done as stated in this Performance Plan. Surveillance includes scheduling, observing, documenting, and resolving performance issues discovered through surveillance.

4.2.2. Scheduling Surveillance: The Quality Assurance Person (QAP) assigned to this contract is responsible for developing a monthly schedule of surveillance activities based on the Performance Plan’s requirements. The schedule should be completed no later than 7 calendar days before the beginning of the period it covers. The QAP must give one copy of the schedule to the contract administrator before start of the surveillance period. Computer-generated or locally devised forms may be used. Note: scheduling of surveillance does not apply to customer complaint or customer survey surveillance.

4.2.3. Observing Contractor Performance: The QAP must inspect task performance by watching actual task performance, physically checking an attribute of the completed task, checking a management information report, or otherwise inspecting the task or its results to determine whether or not the performance meets the standards contained in the contract.

4.2.4. Documenting Surveillance

4.2.4.1. Documentation is required to record, evaluate, and report contractor’s performance. This documentation provides the contracting officer and contract administrator with contractor status as it applies to the performance criteria. Every effort should be made to make this report to the CO and CA as accurate as possible. The QAP is required to maintain accurate records of the contractor’s performance and keep the Functional Commander informed of all data pertaining to contractor status. Documenting surveillance is of major importance to the total process of surveillance. The contracting officer and contract administer cannot properly administer the contract without documentation of actual surveillance.

4.2.4.2. All documentation resulting from surveillance must be made part of the contract file. The QAP must keep the documentation files during the surveillance period, but either monthly or at the conclusion of the contract, as directed by the contracting officer, the QAP must give the files to the contracting officer for inclusion in the official contract file.

4.3. Performance Plan File: A performance plan file must be developed and maintained by Primary QAP assigned to accomplish QA for a performance requirement. The folder is typically contained in a hardcopy, but may be maintained in a computer database provided there is adequate back up of the data to preclude accidental loss. The folder must contain as a minimum, the following documents and be set up using the Performance Plan File Index (Attachment 1).

4.3.1. Performance Plan: Maintain a copy of the Performance Plan.

4.3.2. Appointments: QAP nomination letters and the CO's Letter of Delegation to the FC and copy of CO’s Letter to the Contractor appointing the QAPs to the contract. Training Certificates are also included here.

4.3.3. Contract Documents: The contract with all modifications, directive documents references, pertinent terms defined by the contract, equipment listings, and PWS.

4.3.4. Meeting Minutes.

4.3.4.1. Multi-Functional Team Meeting Minutes: Minutes are the responsibility of the contract administrator/specialist. Minutes shall be provided (email) to all team members, to include members that did not attend the meeting. The QAP shall maintain a copy of the minutes in the QAP folder.

4.3.4.2. Monthly or Periodic Performance Meeting Minutes: The QAP, Contractor (or representative), Contract Administrator, and CO (when warranted) will meet monthly or periodic as necessary to discuss contract performance, resolve issues, discuss customer complaints, and provide positive interaction and feedback to all parties. Minutes are the responsibility of the contract administrator/specialist. The CA must provide a copy of the minutes to the QAP to be maintained in the QAP folder.

4.3.5. Surveillance Documentation: All surveillance documentation—acceptable and unacceptable—is to be maintained in this section. Types of surveillance documentation may include Performance Assessment Reports (attachment 2), customer complaint records (attachment 3) (both active and resolved), Corrective Action Reports (attachment 4), monthly surveillance summaries, trend analysis, metrics, etc. In addition, all paperwork/memos for record (MFR) that support the documented surveillance should be kept in this section as well. The types of information that may be included are details of inspections or data gathering, conversations or meetings with the contractor, notes and comments that support the inspection paperwork, MFRs of phone conversations, email messages, etc. For unacceptable contractor performance, this section may have COs inputs/determinations, cure notices, and show cause letters and any other documentation that revolve around contractor performance not meeting the minimum acceptable quality level or thresholds in the SS.

4.3.6. Customer Complaint Instructions: File customer complaint training materials in this section. See paragraph 4.4.2.2 below.

4.3.7. Final Acceptance and Funding Issues: Keep a copy of the Wide Area Work Flow-Receipt and Acceptance printouts.and MyInvoice printouts, as required. This is also the place to keep paperwork for future changes to the contract, i.e. addendums, form 9s, options, etc that must be worked during the life of the contract.

4.4. Surveillance Methods

4.4.1. Periodic Surveillance/Inspection: QA Personnel are to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating contractor personnel. Periodic surveillance can be accomplished on a weekly (i.e., twice per week), monthly, quarterly, daily basis, depending on the criticality, frequency, complexity, etc of the service being assessed. Whichever period we use, it must be remembered, the goal of the government is to conduct the minimal amount of surveillance that is necessary to ensure the government receives the service it has contracted for.

4.4.1.1. The QAP will review documentation and/or observe accomplishment of Performance Objective(s) to ensure the minimum Performance Threshold(s) has (have) been met for the respective Performance Objective(s).

4.4.1.2. The QAP must document each surveillance as it is conducted. This is an important component of the Air Force record of the contractor’s performance. All performance must be documented, whether it is acceptable or unacceptable. The QAP shall use the Performance Assessment Report (PAR) at attachment 2 to document periodic surveillance.

4.4.2. Customer Complaint

4.4.2.1. The QAP is the customer point of contact and must collect all customer complaints.

4.4.2.2. The QAP must furnish written instructions and customer training to each organization (or person) receiving the contractor’s service. Instructions and training should cover the format and content of the customer complaint program and the service to be surveilled; the action that may be expected from the QAP, contract administrator, and contracting officer as a result of the complaints; and the limitations on the customers in dealing with contractor personnel.

4.4.2.3. All complaints and any resulting resolution of such complaints must be documented and become a permanent part of the QAP surveillance records.

4.4.2.4. A customer complaint is a valid complaint when the QAP, after a thorough investigation, determines the complaint’s validity.

4.4.3. 100% Inspection/Surveillance: One Hundred Percent Inspection is inspecting a requirement every time it occurs.

4.6.1. All NON-SS items—that is, any provision/requirement stipulated in the PWS, but not included in the Services Summary—may be evaluated as necessary by the QAP to ensure contractor is in compliance with the PWS. Customer complaints and periodic surveillance are the usual forms of surveillance for non-SS items. The use of sound judgment is necessary when evaluating non-SS items. These items were not included in the SS for a reason. Use objective and subjective reasoning when evaluating non-SS items.

4.6.2. Key NON-SS Items to be Observed: The QAPs will also be observing the following areas monthly. These items are not SSs but are things we find important to the success of this contract.

4.7. Unacceptable Performance/Reperformance Procedures

4.7.1. The QAP will document all findings using a Corrective Action Report initiated by the QAP or Letter of Concern initiated by the Contracting Officer, whichever is more appropriate for the given situation. The QAP shall verbally notify the Contractor’s Site Manager and/or the Quality Control Inspector (QCI) of the finding and provide a copy of the finding. The Site Manager and/or QCI shall respond with the following information: Contractor Response as to cause, corrective action, and actions to prevent recurrence. The QAP will ensure the response is completed in its entirety, coordinated through the Contracting Officer, with a copy retained in the official contract file.

This information will be included when assessing the contractor’s overall performance (i.e. Option Exercise, CPARS, Past Performance Questionnaires, etc.).

4.7.2. Deficiencies shall not exceed the performance thresholds cited in the SS for each performance objective. If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, In Accordance With the FAR 52.212-4, “Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items”, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. In Accordance With FAR 52.246-4, “Inspection of Services—Fixed-Fee”, “If any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by reperformance, the Government may --

(a) Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and

(b) Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.”

4.8. ACCEPTANCE/CERTIFICATION OF SERVICES

4.8.1. Invoices and receiving reports shall be submitted electronically in accordance with DFARS 232.7003 as authorized by FAR 52.212-4(g).

5.0. PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

5.1. Market Research: Market research continues throughout the life cycle of the contract. Through market research, the multi-functional team will further develop a comprehensive understanding of the marketplace, and identify best practices, (Researching the marketplace to remain current with most efficient and effective assessment methods and techniques; performing market research throughout the life of the contract to ensure team is knowledgeable of the commercial marketplace, etc.)

5.2. Performance Improvement Measures.

5.2.1. Meetings: Quarterly or Periodic Performance Meetings as Necessary. The QAP, Contractor (or representative), Contract Administrator, and CO (when warranted) will meet quarterly or periodic as necessary to discuss contract performance, to resolve issues; discuss customer complaints; and provide positive interaction and feedback to all parties. The QAP will provide a list of any unresolved deficiencies to the contractor's quality assurance representative to afford him/her the opportunity to show where the problem is already in the process of being worked. If evidence is shown where the contractor’s quality program has already documented the deficiency and timely corrective action is working the problem, the QAP will follow up with the contractor’s quality control representative to ensure the deficiencies are remedied in a timely manner, in accordance with the PWS. All deficiencies associated with performance requirements listed on the SS, whether remedied by the contractor or not, will be included in the QAP’s Monthly Report regardless of who identified the deficiency. One of the primary goals of these meetings is to foster good communication, trust, and teamwork to resolve issues before they become significant challenges. A copy of the meeting minutes to all attendees within 5 workdays of the meeting.

5.3. Past Performance Information: Past performance will be based on data collected from customer complaints and Periodic Surveillance data gathered throughout the year. All data will be maintained in the QAP’s contract folder.

5.4. Relationship Building: In the performance-based management process, performance improvement becomes a joint responsibility between the government stakeholders and the contractor. This assures input from both sides and increases involvement in the process, ownership results, and accountability for performance. To help cement this joint responsibility, and further performance improvement, multi-functional team meetings will be held at a minimum of once a year.

5.5. Dispute Resolution: The government’s policy is to try and resolve all contractual issues in controversy at the contracting officer’s level. Reasonable efforts should be made to resolve controversies prior to the submission of a claim. Agencies are encouraged to use Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) to the maximum extent practicable. See Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) parts 33.204 Policy through 33.214 Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR).

Block 3. Enter Contract Name or Type of Services.

Block 4. Enter Functional Area of the Contract.

Block 5. Enter the assigned suspense date given the contractor to provide a response to the CAR. A date must be entered for a Major CAR. A date is optional at the discretion of the Quality Assurance Personnel (QAP) initiating the CAR if the finding is Minor.

Block 6. All CARs will be tracked with a Control Number. The functional commander/functional director is the Issuing Authority for his/her contract Quality Assurance Evaluators (QAPs) generating CARs. By providing the control number to the QAP originating the CAR, the Issuing Authority demonstrates concurrence with the finding. The control number will be made up of the first two letters of the name of the site or contract, the last two digits of the calendar year, and a three digit number starting with 001 and progressing upward throughout the calendar year (e.g., WP04-001).

Block 7.

1. Check the block that indicates whether the identified deficiency is assigned as a Major or Minor finding. See Performance Plan (PP), paragraph 6.1.4, for the definitions of Major and Minor findings and associated explanations.

2. Finding: Clearly state the details of the finding followed by a reference to the stated contractual requirement. The reference must state the portion of the contract, part, section, paragraph and subparagraph and must make a complete brief quotation of the contract reference.

3. State the impact that the finding has or could have on the accomplishment of the mission that the contract provides.

4. When determining how long to give the contractor to respond to the identified finding, the normal is 10 working days. The suspense date should reflect this unless the finding requires a greater amount of time to come to solution. Major findings require a contractor response. Minor findings may require a contractor response at the discretion of the QAP initiating the CAR and/or the Issuing Authority.

Blocks 8 and 9. Contract QAPs initiating a CAR must sign in Block 8 and the Issuing Authority signs in Block 9. Each annotates the date at the time of signature.

Block 10. Upon review of the contractor’s reply, the originator of the CAR will enter comments regarding acceptance or rejection of the contractor’s response. This block may also contain any comments regarding follow-on inspections conducted or needed at a later date to validate that the finding has not reoccurred.

Block 11. The QAP selects Accept or Reject after reviewing the contractor’s response.

Block 12. The QAP enters a close date after advising the Issuing Authority that the contractor’s response is acceptable and the Issuing Authority concurs. The Issuing Authority will then forward the closed CAR to the contractor and report accordingly in the monthly Certificate Of Service (COS) or other applicable contracting officer services report. This routing remains the same if the contractor response is unacceptable and the CAR remains open until an acceptable response is received except that the Issuing Authority forwards the open CAR back to the contractor for additional information.
