The contractor will be evaluated by surveillance of members of the MFT through inspections and/or reviews of required documents.

Surveillance will be accomplished by DCMA's surveillance plans. DCMA will review and document all complaints along with resolution of such complaints with the documentation becoming a permanent part of the surveillance records.

If at any time during the surveillance period, the results of the surveillance show that the number of unacceptable observations during the period exceeds the performance threshold, and it is determined that it is not government caused, the DCMA ACO notifies the CO in writing. The CO and Contractor will evaluate the situation and negotiate consideration for unacceptable performance. The authority used is the Inspection of Services Clause.

All negative comments/actions/reviews will be dealt with JAW contractual arrangements.
