1.3.3.3 In events such as a base shutdown due to severe weather or security issues (ex/September 11, 2001), IAW FAR Clause 52.249-14, Excusable Delays, in Section I of the contract, the Contractor will work with the Government to determine payment terms and any payments will be subject to CO approval. For official MAJCOM family days, or holidays granted by Executive Order, the Government is not liable for the Contractor’s costs incurred for work at the locale affected by the shutdown on other than Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contracts. In all cases, if Government personnel are not available in the building/location of work to oversee Contractor activities, Contractor personnel shall leave the premises.

1.4 Quality.

1.4.1 Quality Control. The Contractor shall develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive inspection system that assures compliance with all requirements of this contract and its associated TOs IAW FAR Part 46, Quality Assurance.

1.4.2 Quality Control Plan (QCP). The Contractor shall develop a QCP that demonstrates how the Contractor shall maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering the services under this contract. See paragraph 1.2.4.5 for deliverable requirements. The QCP shall demonstrate the Contractor’s documented processes and procedures to monitor and control:

· Objectives in Services Summary (Table 1)

· Subcontractor relationships

· Contractor and subcontractor invoicing

· Non-conformances (Paragraph 1.4.3.2)

1.4.3 Performance Evaluation. Contractor performance is subject to Government QAE surveillance to ensure PWS compliance. The Contractor shall comply with the following:

1.4.3.1 Access. The Contractor shall permit the CO or authorized representative access to all work areas, records, and data used in the performance of the contracted services. The Contractor shall provide support, and not interfere with the CO, QAEs, state, federal, and other designated personnel in the performance of their official duties. Access shall be provided as soon as possible, but not to exceed one (1) workday after the request.

1.4.3.2 Non-conformances. Identify and control non-conformances through root cause analysis, corrective actions, and preventive actions. Focus on eliminating the cause to prevent reoccurrence. Maintain records of non-conformities and actions taken. Correct and provide response to all Government-identified non-conformances IAW time frames specified by the CO. This contract identifies two types of non-conformances: Minor and Major.

1.4.3.2.1 Minor Non-conformance. A minor non-conformance is a non-conformance, which by itself does not adversely impact mission, safety of personnel and/or equipment, performance (quality), schedule (delivery), or cost. It normally does not increase risk to the Government. Minor non-conformances are typically low risk and are communicated through notices; first notices are issued for any identified non-conformance, second notices are issued for repeat non-conformances or failing to correct issues within a reasonable amount of time. Upon receipt of a non-conformance notification (first or second notice), the Contractor shall complete applicable sections and return it to the CO within time constraints directed by the CO in the notice. A formal corrective action plan is not required for notices.

1.4.3.2.2 Major Non-conformance. A major non-conformance is a non-conformance that adversely impacts (or has the potential to impact) mission, safety of personnel and/or equipment, performance (quality), schedule (delivery), or cost. This type of nonconformance increases risk to the Government and therefore has a risk assessment rating of moderate or high. An example of increasing risk would be a significant number of recurring non-conformances, which is an indication of inadequate preventive measures/actions and lowers the Government’s confidence that the Contractor can provide quality services on time and within costs. The CO will communicate major non-conformances on a Corrective Action Request (CAR) form with a suspense date for the Contractor’s corrective action plan. As a minimum, the Contractor’s corrective action plan will address:

· Action taken to fix the immediate problem

· Root cause analysis of the problem to determine cause

· Corrective action on the cause of the problem

· Actions taken to prevent recurrence

1.5 Environmental Safety and Health.

1.5.1 Environmental Requirements. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental statutes, instructions, manuals, handbooks, regulations, guidance, policy letters and rules (including all changes and amendments), and all Presidential Executive Orders in effect on the date of issuance of each TO. The Contractor shall comply with the highest degree of environmental protection where any disagreements exist. For OCONUS work, the Contractor shall also comply with all applicable host nation statutes and agreements. In addition, the Contractor shall comply with the following publications: the DoD Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) or the Final Governing Standards (FGS), if adopted for a particular location.

1.5.2 Safety and Health Requirements. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Air Force Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) standards, technical orders, regulations and referenced publications both within and outside of the United States. The Contractor shall comply with the highest degree of safety protection where any disagreements exist.

1.6 Security.

The Government will oversee handling and storage of classified information and provide appropriate storage capability for all classified material. All classified information shall be returned to the government upon termination of the TO.

1.6.2.2 The Contractor shall request security clearances (submit clearance paperwork to the Defense Security Service) for personnel requiring access to classified information within 15 days after receiving a facility clearance or, if the Contractor is already cleared, within 15 days after contract award. Due to costs involved with security investigations, requests for Contractor security clearances shall be kept to an absolute minimum necessary to perform contract requirements. Contractor personnel shall have appropriate clearances prior to commencing work on any TO unless otherwise approved in writing by the CO. The Contractor shall also complete visit requests for each individual that will be performing work on a TO in the Defense Security Service (DSS) Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) prior to performance start unless otherwise approved in writing by the CO.

1.6.2.2.1 The Contractor shall notify the servicing Information Protection Office of contract award within 30 days after basic contract award. The notification shall include:

· Name, address, and telephone number of company representatives

1.6.2.2.2 ACC Industrial Security guidelines stipulate that facility clearances must be specific and that Contractor employee security clearances cannot be higher than the facility clearance of the company. Facility clearances shall match the clearance level required of Contractor employees. For example, if a TO effort requires Contractor employees to have Top Secret clearances, then the company facility clearance shall be Top Secret and shall be upgraded prior to performance on the TO, unless otherwise directed by the CO. Local security clearance requirements will apply to each TO.

1.6.2.2.3 The Government assumes costs and conducts security investigations for facility security clearances.

1.6.2.4 Security Training. Provide employees with training required by DoD 5200.1-R, Information Security Program Regulation and AFI 31-401, Information Security Program Management. The Contractor shall also provide initial and follow-on training to their Contractor personnel who work in Air Force controlled/restricted areas IAW AFI 31-101, Air Force Installation Security Program. This training shall be provided by an appointed security manager for the on-base Visitor Group. The security manager may be a full time or an additional duty position.
