QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1. Objective. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) serves as the principal basis for assessing overall performance quality associated with the MBW Uniform Alterations, Drycleaning, and Uniform and Shoe Repair Service tasks. This document will be used by the Government to assess the effectiveness of the Contractor’s quality with respect to management and technical services provided. This QASP provides the methodology by which the Contractor's performance will be monitored to determine compliance with established performance objectives and to establish performance benchmarks that ensure a quantifiable basis for measuring effectiveness. The plan is designed so that surveillance is limited to that which is necessary to verify the Contractor is performing management and technical services satisfactorily and relates directly to performance objectives of the performance objectives delineated in the PWS.

2. Government Surveillance. The MBW Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will serve as the administering authority for this task, and her/his authority will be limited to administering specific technical aspects of the task order as set forth at Inspection and Acceptance. The COR will not provide direction that is outside the scope of responsibilities delineated under this task order and will defer any conditional interpretations to the Contracting Officer (KO). The COR will:

· Maintain a detailed knowledge of the technical requirements of the contract;

· Document Contractor performance in accordance with the QASP;

· Identify and immediately forward notifications of deficient, or non-compliant performance to the KO;

· Approve priorities of support, resources, and associated schedules.

3. Surveillance Methods. Surveillance of Contractor performance is the method used by the Government to determine whether the contractor is effectively and efficiently complying with all terms and conditions of the task order. In addition to statistical analysis, the functional expertise of the Technical Representative plays a critical role in adequately evaluating contractor performance. The below listed methods of surveillance shall be used in the administration of this QASP and the standards are delineated by WBS element in the Performance Requirements Survey (PRS) table:

Demonstration - A qualification method that is carried out by operation and relies on observable functional operation. It does not require the use of instrumentation or special test equipment;

Inspections: A qualitative inspections can be accomplished through one of the following techniques:

· Random or Stratified Sampling: 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. Stratified sampling focuses on selected parts of total contractor output for sampling. Computer programs may be available to assist in establishing sampling procedures.

· Periodic Inspection, Judgmental Inspection or Planned Sampling: This method, sometimes called "planned sampling", consists of the evaluation of tasks selected on other than a 100% or random basis.

4. Performance Requirements. The performance requirements set forth in this section correspond to the material content cited in the PWS and the evaluation factors at FAR 52.212-2 ADDENDUM. Corresponding ratings will be generated for each of the weighted performance areas and aggregated monthly. The COR will track performance using a moving average and reconcile performance with the Contractor’s Program Manager. This information will also be shared with the KO and included in CPARs reports and any past performance assistance requests:

Acceptable / Meets: .85 - .94 Unacceptable: <.85

Excellent / Exceeds: >.95 Acceptable / Meets: .85 - .94 Unacceptable: <.85

Excellent / Exceeds: >.95 Acceptable / Meets: .85 - .94 Unacceptable: <.85

The criteria that will used to accomplish the evaluation ratings is derived from the RFP and from the elements of performance determined to be most influential to performance.

Tailoring and Alterations

- Contractor performs tailoring and alterations meeting requirements established in section 3 and any applicable subset in the PWS.

95% of services completed on time and in accordance with regulations and guidelines.

Exceptional-100% Very Good- 97% Satisfactory- 95% Performance below these standards will result in non-acceptance of the service.
