SECTION II SERVICE SUMMARY

2. 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 thresholds. 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. A critical defect includes the loss of life, limb, and eyesight or equipment damage.

When a performance threshold has not been met or contractor performance has not been accomplished, the COR will initiate and provide the CO a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) for issuance to the contractor. The contractor shall respond to the CDR IAW instructions provided and return it to the CO within 10 calendar days of receipt.
