QASP
Part 1
PERFORMANCE
MANAGEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This QASP has been developed to implement Performance-Based Service Acquisitions (PBSA). It is designed to meet the needs of the organization, assess contract success, assess and document contractor performance in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Performance Work Statement, (PWS). The QASP also provides the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) an effective and systematic surveillance method for each listed service. In addition, this QASP implements the Multi-Functional Team (MFT) concept. The goal of the MFT is to give all members/stakeholders the ability to maintain the highest quality representative service to our customers and propose/initiate improvements throughout the life of the contract. Under this concept, continual contract assessment will be focused on ensuring that the contract, as written, continues to meet the needs of the customer. The signatures, on the attached charter signature page, indicate membership in the MFT. Changes of team members will require an amendment to the charter signature page.
1. OBJECTIVE:
The objective of subject contract is to provide quality maintenance and sustainment customer support to the RMS and LMDB programs. The QASP will provide oversight capability to make certain that the contractor is delivering products and/or services that conform to contract requirements. It will also identify the methods used for evaluation and surveillance of the contractor. COR will use documentation reviews and direct observation as assessment methods to evaluate the contractor’s performance.
2. GOALS OF THE MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TEAM:
The MFT should strive to achieve efficiencies in the contract performance and improved customer support. The team is composed of stakeholders in the acquisition process and is responsible for the acquisition throughout the life of the requirement. The goal of the team is to define the requirement in performance based terms, assure contractor compliance with contract requirements and ensure that the contract as written continues to meet the needs of the functional organization. In addition, another goal is implementation and execution of the acquisition strategy to ensure support of the mission. The role entails planning, programming, and budgeting for adequate funds;
ensuring program execution within the approved funding, developing the milestones, managing execution to ensure the contract supports mission requirements within the approved scheduled baseline, ensuring the program maintains accountability, and planning and managing of this service.

3.7. Multi-Functional Team (MFT):
This is a customer-focused team composed of stakeholders in the acquisition process.
The team promotes good business decisions to meet customer requirements, fosters partnerships with industry to ensure exchanges of information with the contractor and other business experts, develops a performance-based acquisition strategy to include performance metrics, develops PBSA requirements, develops technical requirements and the independent government cost estimate. The team is also responsible for managing contract performance in accordance with the QASP, assessing and documenting contractor performance in accordance with the QASP, identifying opportunities to improve performance throughout the life of the contract, completing and reporting annual performance reviews in the Contract Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) as required. All members of the MFT are responsible for determining if the contract continues to support the needs of the organization and notifying the CO if it does not. In this context, members of the MFT should consider whether there are tasks covered by the contract which are no longer required, whether there are needs related to the contract’s purpose which are not covered by the contract but could or should be, and whether they have received any customer complaints regarding contract scope. After contract award, the contractor may become a member of the MFT.
4. PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT (CONTRACT ASSESSMENT):
The MFT will routinely validate objectives and goals by periodic surveillance and review of Contractor submitted documents/reports. If Contractor displays unsatisfactory performance, the PMO/COR will notify the CO to request a meeting be scheduled with the Contractor to discuss issues.
4.1 Metrics:
Metrics will be collected by the PMO/COR. Metrics are aligned to the performance objectives outlined in the PWS Service Summary (SS) which are tied to requirements for documents/reports describing quality and/or timelines.
4.1.1. Market Research
Market research will be used as a tool throughout the life of the contract to ensure the most current, efficient, and effective assessment methods and techniques of the commercial marketplace are applied to the performance of services under the contract.
At a minimum, market research (including an informal survey of customers) will be conducted annually prior to exercising the option for an additional performance period.
The results of the market research/survey of customers will be utilized in making the decision as to whether it is appropriate and in the Government’s best interests to exercise the option. These results will be documented in the CO’s Determination and Findings (D&F) supporting option exercise if that course of action is selected.
4.1.2. MFT Meetings
MFT meetings will be scheduled throughout the life of the contract. Attendees at specific team meetings will vary based on the circumstances or issues to be covered at each meeting. Continual contract assessment will be focused on ensuring that the contract, as written, continues to meet the needs of the customer. Team members will consider whether the contract includes tasks which are no longer required; whether there are needs related to the contract’s purpose which are not covered by the contract; and whether any customer complaints regarding contract scope have been received. The success of the contract is dependent upon a combined effort of all members of the MFT.
4.1.3. Performance Reviews
All performance assessment data will be reviewed. If performance improvement is necessary, the corrective action will be requested from the contractor.
5. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT:
This QASP is based on the premise that the contractor, not the Government, is responsible for the management and quality control actions needed to meet the standards of the contract. Following is the approach the team will use to assess the contractor’s performance against the performance thresholds/metrics identified in the contract.
5.1. A Services Summary (SS) will be included in the PWS.
This document will summarize the performance objectives and performance thresholds required by the Government in the contractor’s performance. These performance objectives will directly relate to mission essential items. The performance thresholds briefly describe the minimum acceptable levels of service required for each objective, and are critical to mission success.
5.2. COR will perform QA procedures following the QASP.
5.3. INITIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW:
The initial evaluation of contractor performance shall take place within 30 days after the contractor assumes full performance responsibilities (i.e. after completion of transition/mobilization) to ensure the contractor has successfully started performance, completed transition, is fully operational, and is within the estimated cost, schedule, and performance parameters of the contract.
5.4. Initial Performance Review Criteria:
5.4.1. Technical.
Assess the contractor’s conformance to contract requirements, specifications and standards of good workmanship (e.g., commonly accepted technical, professional, environmental, safety, or health standards).
5.4.2. Schedule.
Assess the timeliness of the contractor against contract requirements, task orders, milestones, delivery schedule, and administrative requirements (e.g., efforts that contribute to or effect the schedule variance).
5.4.3. Cost.
Assess the contractor’s ability to remain within cost. (i.e. cost performance will be reported only if other than Firm Fixed Price). The assessment will include a discussion of the contractor’s effectiveness in forecasting, managing, and controlling contract cost, as applicable.
5.4.4. Management/Performance.
Assess the integration and coordination of all activity needed to execute the contract, specifically the completeness and quality of problem identification, corrective action plans, the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior, customer satisfaction and management of subcontracts including progress on small business subcontracting goals.
5.4.5. Staffing.
Assess the contractor’s performance in selecting, retaining, supporting and replacing when necessary, personnel.
5.4.6. Special Interest Items.
Assess any significant modification to the contract made since contract award.
5.5. CPARS:
CPARS will be updated documenting contractor performance. The Assessing Official Representative (AOR) will be the COR; and the reviewing official will be the FC/FD. The contractor also has input prior to finalization.
The website for the CPARs toolkit is: http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/cparsmain.htm
5.6. Combating Trafficking in Persons:
The COR/ACOR will verify and monitor that the Contractor has policies and procedures in place to prohibit any activities on the part of contractor employees that support or promote trafficking in persons as part of ongoing surveillance of performance of contract services. The Contractor or the COR/ACOR shall immediately bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer any non-compliance with contract clause FAR 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons. Additional information on DoD’s efforts to combat trafficking in persons can be found at the following website: http://ctip.defense.gov and the DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information 222.17.
6. REVISIONS:
Revisions are the responsibility of the MFT. The COR reviews the PWS and QASP periodically and shall provide any proposed changes to the MFT for review. Revisions to the QASP are the joint responsibility of the MFT and are only accomplished with the approval of and by the CO.

PROJECT/SERVICE: RMS-LMDB Maintenance and Sustainment
APPROVED BY:
X Richard Dickerson Contracting Officer (CO)
1. INTRODUCTION:
These Surveillance Procedures have been developed to implement Performance-Based Service Acquisition (PBSA). They are designed to provide the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) instructions on how to perform surveillance and document findings on this contract for the RMS and LDMB programs.
1.1. Contracting Officer Representative (COR) may inspect any aspect of contractor performance at any time during the contract, whether or not it is included in the Services Summary (SS). A format for documenting these inspections is found on page 20 of this plan.
1.2. Any nonconformance with contract requirements is a “defect”. The term “defective” is used in reference to a service output in the SS that does not meet the outputs associated with the standard.
1.3. This QASP is based on the premise that the contractor, not the Government, is responsible for the management and quality control actions required to meet the terms of the contract. The Performance Thresholds recognize that the contractor is not a perfect manager and that unforeseen and uncontrollable problems do occur.
CORs are to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating contractor performance against the standards.
1.4. Following is the approach the team will use to assess the contractor’s performance against the performance thresholds/metrics identified in the contract.
1.4.1. A Services Summary (SS) will be included in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). This document will summarize the performance objectives and performance thresholds required by the Government in the contractor’s performance. These performance objectives will directly relate to mission essential items. The performance thresholds briefly describe the minimum acceptable levels of services required for each objective, and are critical to mission success.
1.4.2. COR will perform quality assurance procedures contained herein.
2. PERFORM SURVEILLANCE: Four methods of surveillance are explained below.
2.1. Customer Complaint: When a customer notifies the COR either verbally or in writing (including email) of a complaint, but does not submit a CCR, the COR will forward the email to document the complaint. The CO will, in turn, send copies of the email to the COR and the contractor for their records.
2.2. 100% Surveillance: In this surveillance method, the COR inspects 100% of the work. When the COR discovers unacceptable performance or a defect in service, he/she will document the discrepancy. The CO will, in turn, send copies of disposition to the COR and the contractor for their records.
2.3. INFORM CONTRACTOR’S CONTRACT MANAGER: The COR must always contact the contractor’s manager and inform him/her of any deficiency that was observed. This may be accomplished in person or electronically, but any verbal communication must be supplemented by submission of an email or memo.
2.4. EVALUATE CONTRACTOR CORRECTIVE ACTION: The CO will determine if further actions need to be taken against the contractor in accordance with the Inspection of Services clause. The CO’s disposition will be annotated on the record, and copies will be returned to the COR and the contractor.
3. REMEDIES FOR UNACCEPTABLE PERFORMANCE:
3.1. In accordance with the contract Inspection of Services clause, if any of the services do not conform to contract requirements; the Government may require the Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract amount. This includes but is not limited to termination of Contractor personnel and recruitment of substitute personnel that are equally qualified within established timeframes. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may:
3.2. Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and
3.3. Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.
This may include a reduction in the number of paid hours to reflect the total non-performance period.
3.4. If the Contractor fails to promptly perform the services again or to take the necessary action to ensure future performance is in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may:
3.4.1. By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the Government that is directly related to the performance of such service; or
3.4.1.1. Decrease the invoice amount in relation to performance
3.4.1.2. Cure Notice
3.4.1.3. Show Cause Notice
3.4.1.4. Terminate the contract.
3.4.2. The Contracting Officer will determine the action to be taken against the contractor, such as reductions in fee/price in accordance with the Inspection of Services clause. The CO’s disposition of the deficiency will be annotated on the form and the COR and contractor will be notified of action.
4. COR MONTHLY INSPECTION REPORT:
COR shall submit an assessment report and attach all Performance Assessment Reports, and validated customer complaints to the CO no later than 5 working days following the month in which the actual surveillance occurred. The report shall be signed and dated by the COR and provided to the Contracting Officer (CO) regularly for review, prior to sending the information to the CO. Validated customer complaints and all documentation will be used to support Contractor ratings in the Contractor Performance Rating System (CPARS) (applicable if contract is over 1 million).
5. WIDE AREA WORKFLOW:
5.1. The COR will certify receipt of contractor services via the Wide Area Workflow
(WAWF) website. Certification of services shall be accomplished on the first workday following the completion of the contract payment period, to avoid payment of interest penalties.
5.2. CORs are responsible for obtaining, scheduling, and completing WAWF training from the Base Accounting and Finance Office.
6. COMBATTING TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS:
6.1. The COR/ACOR will verify and monitor that the Contractor has policies and procedures in place to prohibit any activities on the part of contractor employees that support or promote trafficking in persons as part of ongoing surveillance of performance of contract services. The Contractor or the COR/ACOR shall immediately bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer any non-compliance with contract clause FAR 52.222-50, Combating Trafficking in Persons. Additional information on DoD’s efforts to combat trafficking in persons can be found at the following website: http://ctip.defense.gov and the DFARS Procedures, Guidance, and Information 222.17.
6.2. Surveillance will be performed monthly by the COR/ACOR for compliance.
6.3. Annual Surveillance will be conducted in accordance with PGI 222.17 – Combating Trafficking in Persons by the COR/ACOR with the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). Annual Surveillance will examine the Contractor’s performance concerning Trafficking in Persons.
