UNCLASSIFIED

1. INTRODUCTION

This QASP was developed in accordance with USTCI 63-5, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

Program, for work performed to provide technical and functional support services for the

USTRANSCOM, Scott Air Force Base, IL as well as for its Army and Air Force Service Components.

This QASP sets forth the procedures and guidelines to be used by the Government to ensure that the contractor achieves the required performance standards as specified in the Information Technology

Service Management (ITSM) Enterprise Support Performance Work Statement (PWS). The PWS contains a Service Delivery Summary (SDS) that summarizes performance objectives (service required) and performance thresholds (specific standard) contained within the body of the PWS. The SDS does not identify every service required, but only those services considered most important for mission accomplishment. This QASP is based on the premise that the contractor, and not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The SDS recognizes that the contractor is not a perfect manager and that unforeseen and uncontrollable problems do occur. Good management and use of an adequate quality control plan will allow the contractor to meet or exceed the performance standards specified in the PWS.

2. PURPOSE

This QASP is designed to accomplish the following:

a. Provide a systematic method to survey and evaluate contractor services to determine conformity with the technical requirements of the contract.

b. Define the roles and responsibilities of participating Government officials.

c. Describe the evaluation methods that will be employed by the Government in assessing the contractor’s performance.

d. Describe the process of performance documentation.

e. Provide copies of the Quality Assurance (QA) monitoring report format that will be used by the

Government in documenting and evaluating contractor’s performance.

3. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Government monitors contractor performance on a continuing basis through the services of a surveillance team. The surveillance team consists of the following members: Contracting Officer (CO), Contract Specialist (CS) and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

3.1 Contracting Officer (CO)

The CO has overall responsibility for contract administration. The CO is responsible for monitoring contract compliance and resolving any and all disagreements regarding interpretation of contract terms and conditions. Payment is authorized based on documented objective evidence provided by the COR that contractor performance meets the performance standards specified. The CO is the only Government official authorized to revise the contract.

3.2 Contract Specialist (CS)

The CS acts as an acquisition consultant and serves as liaison between the Contracting Office and the

Command, Control, Communications & Cyber Systems Directorate (TCJ6) COR.

3.3 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

The COR:

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan 2 July 2014

UNCLASSIFIED

Serves as a functional expert and is responsible for monitoring, assessing, recording and reporting the technical performance of the Contractor on a continuous basis.

Schedules surveillance activities; evaluates and documents performance by the Contractor;

initiates requests for and evaluates adequacy of the corrective action and reports Contractor performance of contractor requirements.

Is sufficiently trained to perform the required duties and to ensure their knowledge of the terms and conditions of the contract

Is to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating contractor performance against standards

Will notify the CO immediately when an evaluation shows that performance does not meet the standards identified in this QASP

Is required to ensure changes in work are not initiated before a written authorization or modification is issued by the CO

Is required to accept delivery of services

Must ensure that all services have been performed before entering the quantity received and digitally signing the receiving report/invoice in Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF)

Has a maximum of seven days after the contractor’s submission of a properly documented receiving report/invoice to accept the quantity and digitally sign the document in WAWF.

Prompt processing of receiving reports/invoices in WAWF increases the Government’s ability to take discounts offered and decreases the likelihood of the Government incurring interest expense for late payment. After digital signature, the signed receiving report/invoice will be routed to

Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) for scheduling of payment.

Is required to provide an assessment of contractor performance to the CO for input into

Contractor Performance Assessment Report.

4. METHODS OF SURVEILLANCE

4.1 Service Delivery Summary (SDS)

The SDS summarizes the expected service objectives (outcomes) and identifies the metrics that will be tracked to determine whether the outcomes are being achieved at the appropriate levels of performance.

The USTRANSCOM, through the COR, will monitor contractor performance using the surveillance methods described below. In determining the evaluation criteria, USTRANSCOM has considered what the contract specifically calls for, how performance can be surveyed, and if the proposed method of surveillance is adequate to assure the required level of performance has been achieved. Additionally, contractor performance will be a factor affecting application of the plan, i.e., surveillance frequency may be increased or decreased based on contractor demonstrated and documented performance. One or a combination of the following surveillance methods will be used to produce a well-rounded indication of contractor conformance:

a. Sampling (Spot, Periodic and Random Sampling)

b. Third Party Audit

c. Inspection/Review (verification of specific tasks, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual)

d. Customer/Government Input

4.1.1 Sampling

This is the most appropriate method for frequently recurring tasks. Random sampling is done to determine whether to accept or reject the contractor’s performance of the total lot of a particular task for a given period of time, using the premise that the statistically selected sample is representative of the entire lot. Sampling may be spot, periodic or random.

UNCLASSIFIED

4.1.2. Third Party Audits

Third Party Audits will be conducted by an authorized agent of the Government, federal, state and local agencies (i.e. OSHA, DMV, EPA, Environmental Management etc.).

4.1.3 Inspection/Review

This surveillance type is preferred for those tasks that occur infrequently. It is also used frequently for those tasks having very stringent performance requirements. When this type of surveillance is used, COR must inspect and evaluate the contractor’s performance each time it is performed to determine acceptability.

This type of surveillance consists of the evaluation of samples selected on other than a 100% or statistically random basis. The results of periodic surveillance inspections may be used as the basis for actions against the Contractor. In such cases the Inspection of Services clause becomes the basis for the contracting officer’s actions. This will be done more frequently at the beginning of the contract, and is expected to decrease as standards are consistently met, but may increase if performance falls below standard.

The planned surveillance methods and standards are documented in Appendix A. Contractual requirements are in accordance with (IAW) the PWS.

4.1.4 Customer/Government Inputs

The COR may use customer input to document discrepancies in contractor performance. The CO may use validated customer complaints as the basis for actions against the contractor. In such cases the

Inspection of Services clause becomes the basis for the CO’s actions. It is expected that some customer’s will file complaints directly with the Contractor. The Contractor should attempt to resolve complaints/issues at the lowest level possible. However, the Government acknowledges that some issues require government intervention. In such cases, the Contractor shall request assistance from the COR or

CO.

4.1.5 Management Review

Methods of surveillance can change after contract award based on acceptance of a Contractor’s proposed quality control program or agreement that establishes the metrics to be used. When metrics are used as a method of surveillance through the partnering process, they may be developed after contract award, but prior to the performance start date.

4.1.6 Non-SDS Items

For required tasks not shown on the SDS, including all other tasks in the PWS and any referenced documents, the Government still retains the right to inspect any item included in the contract in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 46, Inspection of Services clauses.

Inspection of these services will be performed in the same general manner as periodic surveillance items mentioned above. The results of these inspections are documented and, if necessary, are provided to the

CO for action. Should a discrepancy be observed, the CO will handle each documented discrepancy on a case-by-case basis.

5. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

This QASP comprehensively guides the surveillance team’s activities and has been developed in a format to ensure ease of understanding and implementation. For each performance objective (service required) in the SDS, the specific methods of surveillance and performance thresholds are shown in Appendix A.

The methodology described in the chart shall be used as the basis for performing surveillance of the

UNCLASSIFIED

respective performance objectives.

5.1 Established Procedures

Each Contractor assessment shall follow an established procedure for surveillance, recording, reporting and follow-up, outlined as follows:

Frequency of surveillance will be IAW the COR’s schedule.

Surveillance will be performed IAW Appendix A and results/comments recorded.

Performance/non-performance for a particular task will be entered chronologically by the COR on a historical log of surveyed performance. If no deficiency exists in Contractor performance for this element, no further action is required.

If Contractor performance is deficient, the course of action is dependent on the severity/impact/frequency of the non-performance.

o Re-performance is the first action to resolve deficiencies.

o When the COR determines a deficiency is not Government caused, a Contract

Discrepancy Report (CDR) is initiated.

COR completes the form and sends it to the CO.

CO must evaluate the CDR and, if appropriate, sign and send it to the Contractor.

Contractor must complete blocks 9 and 10 according to the requirements of the contract and return it to the CO within 5 calendar days of receipt.

Upon receipt of the Contractor’s response, the CO, in consultation with the COR, must evaluate the Contractor’s response and take the appropriate action.

CO must document the evaluation (in block 11) and action taken (in block 12) on the CDR.

COR shall submit a Discrepancy Status Report (see attachment 2) and attach a copy of all CDRs for the reporting period.

o When corrective action is reported by the Contractor, the COR will follow up with additional surveillance to verify implementation.

6. DOCUMENTATION

All surveillance activities must be documented to provide the required audit trail to justify Government acceptance and payment. The documented audit trail of the surveillance (DAS) activities is required by

FAR 46.104(c), Contract Administration Office Responsibilities, which states, “Maintain, as part of the performance records of the contract, suitable records reflecting, (1) The nature of Government contract quality assurance actions, including, when appropriate, the number of observations made and the number and type of defects; and (2) Decisions regarding the acceptability of the products, the processes, and the requirements, as well as action to correct defects.”

All documentation resulting from surveillance is made a permanent part of the contract file. The COR must keep the documentation files during the term of the contract and either monthly or at the conclusion of the contract (as directed by the CO); transfer the files to the CO for inclusion in the official contract file. It is the responsibility of the COR to establish and maintain this information in a DAS Folder. The surveillance folder(s) should include as a minimum:

a. Contract including Modifications

b. Task Orders including Modifications

c. QASP

UNCLASSIFIED

d. COR Letter of Designation

e. Invoices

f. Surveillance Records

Written report of all inspections and timelines of deliverables
