QASP REVISION: 0 2

1.0 Purpose

1.1 This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a government-developed document used to determine if the contractor’s performance meets the performance standards contained in the contract. The QASP establishes procedures on how this assessment/inspection process will be conducted. It provides the details associated with a continuous oversight process, to include:

• What will be monitored

• How monitoring will take place

• Who will conduct the monitoring

• How monitoring efforts and results will be documented

1.2 The contractor is responsible for implementing and delivering performance that meets contract standards using its own quality control plan. The QASP provides the structure for the government’s surveillance of the contractor’s performance to ensure that it meets contract standards. It is the government’s responsibility to be objective, fair and consistent in evaluating contractor performance.

1.3 The QASP is not part of the contract nor is it intended to duplicate the contractor’s Quality Control Plan.

This QASP is a living document. Flexibility in the QASP is required to allow for an increase or decrease in the level of surveillance necessary based on contractor performance. Copies of the QASP and any revisions shall be provided to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to facilitate implementation of surveillance activities. In addition, the QASP should recognize unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances which might occur that are outside the control of the contractor. Bottom line, the QASP should ensure early identification and resolution of performance issues to minimize impact on mission performance.

1.4 This QASP is designed to provide the Multifunctional Team (MFT) a vehicle to ensure delivery of Event Planning Services within cost and on schedule. The QASP also provides the CORs an effective systematic surveillance method for each item listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), specifically on the Service Summary (SS). It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair and consistent in their assessment of the Contractor’s performance. Communication and assessment actions stated in the QASP seek to ensure AFRC Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program is provided with Event Planning Services that are acceptable and timely, and conducted in a manner that will achieve required objectives, cost savings and efficiencies.

1.5 The QASP is used for managing contractor performance assessment by ensuring that systematic quality assurance methods validate that contractor quality control efforts are timely, effective, and are delivering the results specified in the contract or task order. The QASP directly corresponds to the performance objectives and standards specified in the PWS. It provides specific details on how the Government will survey, observe, test, sample, evaluate, and document contractor performance results to determine if the contractor has met the required performance standards for each objective in the PWS. Successful completion of the objectives for the performance of the contract constitutes success of the program.

1.6 Generally, Authority for issuance of this QASP is provided under Part 46 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Inspection of Services clauses, which provide for inspection, acceptance and documentation of the service called for in the contract or order. If commercial, quality assurance will be applied in accordance with commercial items clause.

3.6.2 The Contractor shall ensure the quality of services through a quality and/or inspection system. In order to meet the government’s quality requirements, a contractor’s QMS should be robust enough and resourced adequately to execute four key quality functions: 1) Detection of quality program problems and defects; 2) Identification of root causes for quality related problems/defects; 3) Correction of root causes related to detected problems/defects; and, 4) Follow-up to ensure quality related problems/defects do not recur; a mature QMS requires the contractor be the proactive party on quality issues. The goal is to obtain performance reflective of continuous improvement with no reliance on COR’s surveillance to detect problems/defects, determine root causes, or ensure quality related problems/defects do not recur.

3.7 Functional Commander/Functional Director (FC/FD)

The Functional Commander or civilian equivalent has determined these services are not mission-essential and will not continue in the event of a crisis. Reference PWS and QASP signature page.

4.0 Management Strategy

4.1 The MFT will meet and record minutes annually to review contractor’s performance. The COR will complete COR Status Report (SPM Smart Form) and Surveillance Checklist, documenting both satisfactory and unsatisfactory Contractor performance and uploading to SPM no later than the 10th of the month following surveillance. The COR Status Report will be completed as a Smart Form and will automatically upload to SPM upon the COR’s submission for PCO to accept or reject. The Surveillance Checklist must be completed monthly in conjunction with the COR Status Report and uploaded to SPM under COR Documents for PCO review.

Unsatisfactory Contractor performance will result in the COR issuing a negative COR Status Report. PCO approved COR Status Report and Surveillance Checklist will be sent to the contractor. PCO signed negative COR Status Reports will be forwarded to Contractor for acknowledgement and corrective action.

4.2 If repetitive negative COR Status Reports or a single negative COR Status Report identifying critical Contractor non-compliance are issued without satisfactory resolution, the COR will issue a CAR. However, the MFT reserves the right to issue a CAR at any time based on the severity of the Contractor non-compliance. If the CAR process fails to resolve the unsatisfactory Contractor performance, the PCO has the right to invoke the Inspection of Supply/Services clause(s) identified in the contract/order.

4.3 Incentives

4.3.1 If Contractor performance meets or exceeds contractual requirements, positive incentives may include, but are not limited to, decreased surveillance, favorable CPARs and exercising options.

4.3.2 If Contractor performance does not meet contractual requirements, negative incentives may include, but are not limited to, increased surveillance, unfavorable CPARs, not exercising options and Government recourse authorized by the Inspection of Supply/Services clause(s) identified in the contract/order.

5.0 Annual COR Online File Inspection: The COR, the COR Supervisor and the PCO will review the COR’s Surveillance File, at a minimum, annually. The PCO will document the results of their review on the Annual COR File Inspection Checklist. After the COR and COR supervisor sign the checklist, the PCO will upload the checklist in the SPM tool.

6.0 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS): The total estimated value of the contract exceeds $1,000,000.00; therefore, CPARS reporting is required.

QASP REVISION: 0 13

6.1 The MFT will evaluate Contractor performance. The Yellow Ribbon Program Manager will, at a minimum, review the COR Status Reports and other information contained in the COR’s Surveillance File to prepare and substantiate the CPAR. CPARS will be updated, at a minimum annually, documenting Contractor performance for the contract/order. More frequent updates may be made, as required, to document a significant improvement or decline in the level of Contractor performance.

6.2 The Contractor shall have input into the CPAR prior to it being finalized. For each reporting period, the COR will provide the Contractor a draft CPAR with no ratings, only justifications, to examine for seven calendar days. After MFT review of the Contractor’s response, the CPAR will be coordinated through management up to the Division level. Once approved, the CPAR will be sent to the Contractor via CPARS for the official 60 calendar day review. The Contractor shall have the option to concur or non-concur, with comments, via CPARS.

6.3 In evaluating the quality of contractor’s performance, the following performance ratings are used in documenting past performance. The areas rated may include: Quality of Service, Business Relations, Management, Cost Control (if applicable), and Schedule.

Performance Rating

Criteria

Exceptional Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the government’s benefits. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with no problems and contractor actions were highly effective.

Very Good Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the government benefits. The contractual performance was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

Satisfactory Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were satisfactory.

Marginal Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.
