QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

For The Department of Homeland Security NBACC/FFRDC Contract NBACC FFRDC RFP—Attachment #12

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

FOR A

National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center Operating Contract, a Federally Funded Research and Development Center For The Department of Homeland Security

1. INTRODUCTION.

a. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to assist in implementing Performance Based guidelines into the NBACC/FFRDC contract. The QASP is designed to provide the Contracting Officer (CO/ACO), Contract Administrator (CA) Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and other performance monitors an effective, systematic surveillance method for each performance item listed in the QASP.

b. The premise of Performance Based Contracting is for the Contractor to assume the fullest possible responsibility for the work they produce. The government will also rely on the Contractor's Quality Control Plan, the approved Government Management Plan and Government Sponsorship Agreement as required under the contract terms and conditions, to help ensure all contractual requirements are met at the desired level of performance.

c. The COR will produce and execute a surveillance schedule in accordance with this QASP. Inspections will be conducted in accordance with the appropriate FAR Clauses identified in Section E of this solicitation/contract.

2. COR APPOINTMENT AND TRAINING.

a. The COR will be nominated by the Primary Sponsor and appointed by the Contracting Officer. Additional performance monitors may be appointed by the Primary Sponsor. The Primary Sponsor will provide copies of the appointments to the Contracting Officer.

b. The COR and performance monitors will complete COR training prior to their appointments.

3. METHODS OF INSPECTION APPLICABLE TO THIS CONTRACT.

a. Selecting the most appropriate surveillance method for the effort involved is important. Agencies should take into consideration task criticality, task lot size, surveillance period, performance requirements and standards, availability of Contracting Officer Representatives (CORs), surveillance value in relation to task cost/criticality, and available resources. Careful selection of appropriate surveillance methods enables the government to determine the amount of resources and associated costs needed to perform the surveillance task.

b. Projected and acceptable surveillance methods for this contract include:

1. 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.

1. 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 services being performed is very large and a statistically valid sample can be obtained. Computer programs are available to assist in establishing sampling procedures.

1. When selecting samples, the number of selections should exceed the required sample size by at least 10 percent to allow for situations where a selected sample cannot be observed.

1. For Example: The COR must make every attempt to evaluate the first 25 samples selected but, should surveillance of say the 15th sample be impossible, then the COR must evaluate the 26th selected sample instead. The COR must evaluate only 25 total samples. If the COR does not evaluate the total number of required samples, the samples not evaluated are deemed to have been performed and shall be recorded as acceptable.

1. Periodic Inspection: This method, sometimes called "planned sampling," consists of the evaluation of tasks selected on other than a 100 percent or random basis items are inspected using periodic surveillance (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.) as determined by the COR. It may be appropriate for tasks that occur infrequently, and where 100 percent inspection is neither required nor practicable. A predetermined plan for inspecting part of the work is established using subjective judgment and analysis of agency resources to decide what work to inspect and how frequently to inspect it. The schedules (if applicable) are submitted to the Government Program Manager and COR and the DHS Contracting Officer and Contract Administrator for review prior the month being inspected. The results of the periodic surveillance inspections may be used as the basis for actions (other than payment deductions by withholding of Fee) against the contractor. In such cases the Inspection of Services (Cost Reimbursement) clause becomes the basis for the contracting officer’s actions.

1. Customer Input/Complaint: 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., filing reports, preparation of payment invoices and vouchers, facility safety problems, certain security issues, a customer survey or a and customer complaint procedure may be a primary surveillance method, and customer satisfaction an appropriate performance standard. In all cases, complaints should be documented, preferably on a standardized form and retained in the contract file.

c. Contractors should be briefed on surveillance requirements and responsibilities at the post-award conference. Surveillance should be comprehensive, systematic, and well documented without being intrusive. To the maximum extent practicable, the Government will rely on the contractor's Quality Management Plan and not duplicate surveillance the contractor is already performing. The COR should discuss the surveillance methods to be used with the contractor to confirm that they are fully understood. Whatever form of surveillance used, the COR should take care to ensure that no undue interference with contractor operations occurs. Avoid relying on cumbersome and intrusive process-oriented inspection and oversight programs to assess the contractor performance. If performance is up to standard the COR’s tasks should only be insight and overview as work progresses.

4. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATOR / MANAGER NOTIFICATION.

The COR will ensure that the Government Program Manager (PM), the Contracting Officer (CO/ACO), and the Contract Administrator and the Contractors Project Manager (PM) are continually informed of contract performance status. The same Managers and Administrators should be informed immediately of any and all contract discrepancies noted during COR surveillance.

5. DISCREPANCY REPORTING.

The COR will notify the Contractor’s Contract Manager (PM) and Quality Assurance Program Manager of all discrepancies noted during the COR’s insight/oversight inspection reviews. This notification is for discrepancy correction only and does not indicate concurrence with the discrepancy. The COR will also notify the contract administrator of all discrepancies noted during the surveillance. The frequency of notification to the contract administrator (normally monthly) will be provided to the COR during training or in the appointment letter.

6. CONTRACT SURVEILLANCE.

The COR will evaluate the contractor using the attached Performance Objective (PO) checklist. The applicable PO checklist will be used to record contractor compliance to the SOW requirements. This information will be maintained as directed by the contracting office.

7. NON-SDS/QASP ITEMS.

Note for the COR: Everything that is written into the contract is required to be provided by the contractor. You should attach to the QASP a list of any non-QASP item that is to be inspected. The list should parallel the QASP in that it will also include the inspection methods and frequencies of the inspections. Preference is to do this on a periodic basis, not during every inspection period, and the items should include one time issues or items and issues where work or performance improvement is needed but may not be included on the QASP. If the service is listed in the contract it is a requirement subject to insight and or inspection.
