The contractor shall have 30 workdays to correct the rejected deliverable and resubmit to the government PM for re-inspection. If no comments are

10 MAPA/NGC Engineering Services provided within 30 calendar days of deliverable receipt, the deliverable will be deemed to have been accepted by the government.

4.11.2 Assessment

The contractor, not the government, is responsible for managing and ensuring the contractor’s performance meets the terms of the contract. It is the government’s responsibility to monitor the performance and hold the contractor accountable for meeting the performance requirements in the contract. The contractor’s performance will be evaluated by the responsible multi-functional team (MFT) member assigned to the engineering activity addressed in 2.1-2.1.9 of this document, according to three categories:

1) Superior, 2) Acceptable, and 3) Unacceptable.

All efforts performed by the contractor will be expected to meet the level of “Acceptable” at a minimum. For each delivery order, that contractor performs at an “Unacceptable” level; the government will first negotiate re-performance measures to eliminate deliverable defects. If re-performance measures fail to produce “Acceptable” levels the government

Program Manager will compile a list of “Unacceptable” performances and notify the contractor’s upper management in writing of the government’s dissatisfaction with the level of performance demonstrated.

Additionally, the notifications may result in negative entries into the contractor

Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) in accordance with Federal Acquisition

Regulations (FAR) Part 15.304.
