QASP

1. Purpose. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to provide the standard of surveillance for monitoring administrative services in support of the Expeditionary Operations Training Group

(EOTG) and Second Marine Division (2dMarDiv). The Contracting Officer (KO) will appoint two individuals identified in the statement of work as the CORs. One will serve as COR to the contractor(s) assigned to EOTG and the other will servce as COR to the contractor(s) assigned to 2dMarDiv. The CORs will also serve as the

Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) and will use this QASP to ensure the standards of the contract are being met. The CORs/QAEs will be referred to as the COR throughout this QASP.

2. Management and Oversight. The QASP is based on the premise that the Contractor and not the

Government, is responsible for the management and any Quality Control action required to meet the terms of the contract. Good management and use of an adequate Quality Control Plan will allow the Contractor to operate within specific performance requirements. QASPs are designed to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating Contractor performance against the provided standards.

3. Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs). AQLs have been established in the Performance Requirement

Summary and provide performance standards that the Contractor will meet in performing the contract. If the contractor meets the required AQL, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed upon in the contract. In the event the Contractor does not meet the established AQLs, the KO has the right to exercise the negative incentives stated in this QASP.

4. Primary Method of Surveillance/Evaluation. The COR will evaluate the contractor’s performance using one or more of the following surveillance methods:

Observation/Random Monitoring: Observation/Random monitoring of staffing levels and personnel qualifications by the COR.

Random Inspection: Random inspection of period of instruction delieverables based on paragraph 6 within the statement of work.

5. Negative Incentives. If any of the performance requirements do not meet the AQL set in the Production

Representative System table, the COR shall document the discrepancy(s) and shall notify the Contractor promptly, and the KO, on a monthly basis, for appropriate action. When the performance is below the AQL standard, the Government may implement negative incentives that include: increased surveillance, reduction in contract price, decision not to exercise next option, increased Contractor reporting, and/or documentation of https://doncmra.nmci.navy.mil/ https://doncmra.nmci.navy.mil/ contractor’s failure to meet performance requirements in the Contractor’s Performance Assessment Reporting

System (CPARS).

6. Notification. The COR will notify the KO, in writing, of unacceptable quality levels. The CO will promptly provide written notification of discrepancies on a monthly basis, or immediately if the situation significantly affects the well-being of the project. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to respond, in writing, and to correct each discrepancy within a reasonable time limit.

7. Response. The Contractor shall provide a written response to the cause and the corrective action to prevent recurrence within ten (10) working days after receipt of the KO’s notification. The Contractor should cite specific quality assurance program procedures or new procedures instituted to prevent recurrence.

8. Records. The COR will maintain contract surveillance files as directed by the KO. Surveillance files will include, as a minimum, the following documentation for this Firm-Fixed Priced, Level-of-Effort contract:

a. COR designation and appointment letters.

b. A copy of the contract and all contract modifications.

c. QASP, Quality Control Plan, and any other monitoring tools, checklists, etc.

d. All correspondence including KO notifications and the Contractor’s responses.

e. Contractor monthly status reports.

f. Monthly evidence of satisfactory performance provided by Maintenance Chief.

g. Evidence of price monitoring: copies of certified invoices tracked against each contract line item.

h. Quarterly technical reviews.

i. Surveillance reports and a summary of the surveillance logs prepared by the COR and submitted to the KO annually.

j. Copies of deficiency reports that may be submitted in support of unacceptable performance identified during the performance period by the COR, or when there is a significant change in the assessment in one or more evaluation areas.

k. Annual in-progress reviews conducted and entered into CPARS .

10. Ratings. The following criteria will be used for performance evaluations: Exceptional, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory. Upward or downward arrows may be used to indicate an improving or worsening trend insufficient to change to the assessment status.

a. Exceptional. Indicates performance clearly exceeds contractual requirements. The area of evaluation may contain a few minor problems for which corrective action appears highly effective.

b. Satisfactory. Indicates performance clearly meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains some minor problems for which the corrective actions appear satisfactory.

c. Marginal. Indicates performance meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which corrective actions have not yet been identified, appear only marginally effective, or have not been fully implemented.

d. Unsatisfactory. Indicates the contractor is in danger of not being able to satisfy contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which the corrective actions appear ineffective.

11. Documentation. Documentation used and referenced to perform surveillance will consist of monthly reports, contractor plans and procedures, schedules, customer feedback and contract data requirements.

a. Recording Observations. The COR shall use Surveillance Logs to record information on scheduled observations and deficiencies noted. Each observation is recorded on the log. The documents then become a formal record for reference. The contractor is to be told each time that a deficiency is found during scheduled observations. The COR makes a notation on the Surveillance Log of the date and time the deficiency was discovered, then, the COR asks a contractor site manager to initial the notation, documenting notification of the deficiency only.

b. Potential Unacceptable Performance. The COR must identify the specific service that is unacceptable and the possible causes, and ask a number of questions which if answered, will probably pinpoint the source of the problem.

c. Documenting Unacceptable Performance. The COR must attempt to resolve the problem with the contractor. The original log and the attempted solution (along with an evaluation of results) are forwarded to the KO through the COR.

Based on the severity of the discrepancy and the success of the solution, the COR will notify the KO. The contractor shall complete a response to the unacceptable evaluation if requested by the KO or by its own choice.

12. Taking Action.

a. The COR may evaluate the contractor’s performance and document any non-compliance, but only the KO may take action against the contractor for an unacceptable rating.

b. When the contractor’s performance is unacceptable and a formal action is indicated, the COR will recommend what action may be appropriate for the specific circumstances to the KO.

13. Documentation. The COR retains a copy of all inspection schedules and surveillance activity logs during the course of the contract, and forwards them for inclusion in the contract file at the end of the surveillance period.

However, when a specific service becomes unsatisfactory during a surveillance period, the inspection documentation supporting the contract discrepancy report is forwarded to the KO.
