This includes:
• Promoting and leveraging a multi-disciplinary, highly-skilled workforce with technical, analytic, and operational expertise
• Encouraging collaboration to strengthen partnerships across diverse domains
• Aligning business processes, management practices, and tools to best serve the broader community
• Applying consistent and repeatable quality management practices (e.g., ISO 9001) to ensure that requested products and services are value-added and delivered within cost and schedule. Management of elements include:
• Planning
• Execution
• Communications
• Monitoring (e.g., periodic reviews, testing)

QASP
1. Contract or Task Order Title (Add contract/task order number at award):
Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Services Applied Engineering Support for Mobile Service Provider Equipment on Federal Property
2. Work Requirements:
• Task 1 – Commercial Mobile Service Providers
3. Primary Methods of Surveillance: Acceptable surveillance methods for this contract include the following:
• 100 Percent Inspection. This is usually only the most appropriate method for infrequent tasks or tasks with stringent performance requirements, e.g., where safety or health is a concern. With this method, performance is inspected/evaluated at each occurrence. One hundred percent inspection is too expensive to be used in most cases.
• Random Sampling. This is usually the most appropriate method for recurring tasks.
With random sampling, services are sampled to determine if the level of performance is acceptable. Random sampling works best when the number of instances of the
QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN
(QASP)
EMS S i A li d E i i S t M bil services being performed is very large and a statistically valid sample can be obtained.
Computer programs may be available to assist in establishing sampling procedures.
• Periodic Inspection: These services are monitored weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually, etc. Periodic types of activities are perfect for periodic inspection because not only are they infrequent, but there is normally a predetermined, specified time frame within which the tasks must be accomplished. Therefore, you know exactly when to conduct the evaluations. Periodic inspections automatically become 100 percent evaluations or "100 percent checks." Inspections should be divided and scheduled by frequency: annual, semiannual, quarterly, monthly, weekly and as required. Sometimes services are required for which the time or frequency cannot be predicted, such as accident investigations, one-time special tasking by higher headquarters, etc. These would be labeled "as required inspections." Others are known and predictable such as the quarterly status report or the monthly travel report currently included in some DISA service contracts.
• Customer Input: Although usually not a primary method, this is a valuable supplement to more systematic methods. For example, in a case where random sampling indicates unsatisfactory service, customer complaints can be used as substantiating evidence. In certain situations where customers can be relied upon to complain consistently when the quality of performance is poor, e.g., dining facilities, building services, customer surveys and customer complaints may be a primary surveillance method, and customer satisfaction an appropriate performance standard.
In all cases, complaints should be documented, preferably on a standard form.
4. Scope of Performance: This contract will provide technical support to DSO for the following tasks:
a. Commercial Mobile Service Providers - Provide E3 engineering support services to mobile service providers prior to the installation of new or substantially upgraded CTS equipment on federal property when requested by the DoD Components or federal agencies. Address the potential for electromagnetic interference from the CTS equipment to existing and planned military, government, and commercial communications-electronics systems on federal property. At the Government’s discretion, address the potential for electromagnetic radiation hazards to personnel, fuel, and ordnance with electrically initiated devices. The contract reference is Paragraph 6.4.
5. Performance Standards: The QASP will be used to ensure that the contractor performance is effectively monitored and documented. The Contracting Officer Representative (COR) uses the methods contained in this QASP to ensure the contractor is in compliance with contractual requirements. The COR will be responsible for a wide range of surveillance requirements that effectively measure and evaluate the contractor's performance.
Additionally, this QASP is based on the premise that the contractor, not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control/quality assurance actions to successfully meet the terms of the contract.
Table 1 provides the performance standards, acceptable quality levels, and surveillance methods that will be employed by the COR inspect the contractor’s work performance. Inspection of each element will be documented in the COR file.

Reports must not require multiple returns to the contractor for editorial rework prior to being accepted by the DSO, user, or sponsor. Reports must be organized so that a typical reader can follow the flow of information in the report with figures and tables properly marked and easily read. The DSO approved report format should be used unless other provisions are stipulated at the beginning of the task.
Minimal report rework post-delivery is an AQL.
Schedule Requirement: AQL is report delivered on-time.
The delivery date is the date the contractor provides the deliverable to the government.

8. Evaluation Method: The COR is responsible for providing continuous technical oversight of the contractor's performance. The COR uses the QASP to conduct the oversight/surveillance process. The COR shall keep a Quality Assurance file that accurately documents the contractor's actual performance. The purpose is to ensure that the contractor meets the performance standards contained in the contract. The COR is responsible for reporting early identification of performance problems to the KO. The COR is required to provide an annual performance assessment to the KO which will be used in documenting past performance. The QASP is the primary tool for documenting contractor performance. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual change on the Government's behalf.
The performance standards shown in Table 3 will be used to evaluate the contractor’s performance with respect to technical quality, timeliness, and schedule.
Table 3: Performance Ratings
Rating Criteria
Excellent 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 ac-complished 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 contrac-tor’s proposed actions appear marginally effective or were not ful-ly implemented.
Unsatisfactory Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual per-formance contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.
