Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan

Naval Strike And Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) Aircraft Maintenance

22 July 2013

1. Purpose

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government developed and applied document that defines the metrics used to assess Contractor performance and to ensure that the Government receives a reasonable quality of service with reference to contractual requirements to ensure systematic quality assurance methods are utilized in the administration of the performance based Contractor Support Services contract.

The contract supports daily aircraft operations at Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC), Fallon, NV. The Contractor shall provide three levels of aircraft maintenance (organizational, selected intermediate, and limited depot), logistics management, program management, technical management, financial management, and functional check flight test support for the Navy F/A-18A/B/C/D/E/F, E/A-18G, MH-60S, F-16A/B, and E-2C aircraft based at NSAWC.

The contract contains O&MN Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for organizational and intermediate maintenance and depot aircraft painting and cost-reimbursable (non-fee bearing) CLINs for travel and material. The contract will be for a period of five years, including all option periods. A properly executed QASP will assist the Government in achieving the objectives of this procurement.

2. Authority

Authority for issuance of this QASP is provided under FAR Part 46, Inspection of Services clauses, which provide for inspection, acceptance and documentation of the service called for in the contract.

3. Scope

The contractor is responsible for management and quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The QASP is put in place to provide Government oversight of the contractor’s efforts to assure that they are timely, effective, and are delivering quality products and services as specified by the contract.

4. Government Resources

The following definitions for Government resources are applicable to this plan:

Contracting Officer – The person duly appointed with the authority to enter into (Procuring Contracting

Officer (PCO)) or administer (Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)) contracts and make related determination and findings on behalf of the Government. The PCO for this contract is in the NAVAIR

Code 2.3.5 Division. Contracting Officers are designated via a written warrant, which sets forth limitations of authority.

Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) – The individual designated by the PCO to act as the technical representative to assist in administering the contract at NSAWC Fallon, NV. The COR’s limitation of authority is contained in the written letter of appointment.

5. Responsibilities

The following Government resources shall have responsibility for the implementation of this QASP:

Contracting Officer – The Contracting Officer ensures performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensures compliance with the terms of the contract, and safeguards the interests of the United

States in the contractual relationship. The Contracting Officer assures the contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under the contract/orders. The Contracting Officer is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the contractor’s performance.

Contracting Officer Representative (COR) - The COR is responsible for technical administration of the contract/orders. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any changes on the Government’s behalf. Any changes that the contractor deems may affect contract price, terms, or conditions shall be referred to the Contracting Officer for action.

6. Method of Quality Assurance Surveillance

a. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) – The marketplace for contractor support services is very competitive. As such, the successful offeror has a stake in the Government-generated CPARS. For this procurement, the Government will address the quality of product or service, schedule, cost control, business relations, management of key personnel, and other important areas. As this information may affect future source selections throughout the Department of Defense (DoD), the Government assessment of this contract will be documented in CPARS.

b. QASP - The surveillance methods listed in enclosures (1) , (2) and (3) will be used by the

COR to perform quality assurance functions under this contract.

7. Surveillance

Enclosures (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) set forth the performance assessment methods, performance standards, surveillance methods, incentives, and definitions for evaluation areas and ratings. If the Government identifies a discrepancy, the Contractor will be issued a Corrective Action Request (CAR), Enclosure (6).

The Contractor shall respond by the suspense date provided on the CAR.

8. Documentation

The COR will maintain a complete Quality Assurance file. The file will contain copies of all reports, evaluations, recommendations, and actions related to the Government’s performance of the quality assurance function, including the original Quality Assurance Checklists. All such records will be maintained for the life of the contract.

Quarterly Performance Assessment

1. General

This Quarterly Performance Assessment (QPA) encompasses the essential attributes necessary for the measurement of contractor performance in a uniform manner throughout the life of the contract. This assessment applies to all E-2, F-16, F/A-18, E/A-18, and H-60 T/M/S aircraft attached to NSAWC. The results of the assessments will become a part of the Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR).

The assessments conducted will be by T/M/S aircraft, with contractor achieving a minimum Total

Performance Rate (TPR) of 70% for each T/M/S aircraft.

The TPR is a composite score comprised of several performance assessment standards. This QPA shall include all aircraft assigned to NSAWC during this contract effort on which the Government has completed the functional check flight and aircraft acceptance inspection.

2. Assessment Standards

Ready for Flight (RFF): RFF percentage achieved during the quarter will be forty percent (40%) of the performance assessment. RFF aircraft are the number of aircraft that were available for assignment to the

Operations Department in a mission capable status as of 0700 hours each day for utilization to accomplish flight requirements as established by the published flight schedule, regardless of location.

(1) The daily RFF rate shall be used to calculate the quarterly RFF rate at the end of each assessment period for each T/M/S aircraft.

(2) A RFF total point value for each T/M/S aircraft will be assigned based on the average of the daily RFF percentages achieved during the reporting period and in accordance with the

Quarterly Performance Assessment Table 1. The point value shall be used to compute the TPR.

The RFF point value comprises 40% of the TPR.

Quarterly Performance Assessment Table 1

Ready for Flight (RFF)

Average RFF Rate This Period Point Value

>70% 100

60 to 69.9% 95

50 to 59.9% 90

40 to 49.9% 85

30 to 39.9% 80

20 to 29.9% 75

10 to 19.9% 70

0 to 9.9% 65

Aircraft Material Condition: The Aircraft Material Condition assessment will make up sixty percent (60%) of the TPR score. The material condition assessment of the aircraft will combine two separate point values:

(1) Aircraft Discrepancy Book (ADB) Upgripe Count: The Government shall randomly select one RFF aircraft per T/M/S each day and will count the number of documented “up” discrepancies in the ADB. Corrosion discrepancies, discrepancies in awaiting parts status, special inspections, and TDs will not be included in this count. Upgripe Count daily averages will be determined by dividing the total number of “up” discrepancies by the total number of reportable days in the assessment period. An ADB Upgripe Count, point value for each T/M/S aircraft will be in accordance with the Performance Assessment Criteria Table 2. The ADB Upgripe Count comprises

40% of the TPR.

(2) Aircraft Material Condition Inspections (MCIs): The Government will evaluate the aircraft to assess the overall material condition of assigned aircraft to determine the effectiveness of the corrosion control program and measure compliance with applicable MRCs and paint schemes.

When notified by the Government of its intent to conduct an MCI, the contractor shall ensure all applicable aircraft access panels remain open until the Government has completed the MCI.

Aircraft to be inspected shall have access panels opened to the same degree as required for aircraft major corrosion control inspections; 42-day for F-16, 84-day for F/A-18, 84-day E/A-18G, 56-day for H-60 and 56/112 day for E-2. The Government will perform additional MCIs as deemed necessary and the contractor shall open aircraft access panels as applicable. An Aircraft Material

Condition Inspection point value will be in accordance with Performance Assessment Criteria Table

3. The Government will assign an average score in the event more than one MCI occurs per T/M/S aircraft in a grading period. Aircraft MCI comprise 20% of the TPR.

a. The Government will check the ADB for any documented corrosion discrepancies. If any documented corrosion discrepancy remains on the aircraft over 28 days, the score of this aircraft shall be zero. Corrosion discrepancies that require depot level repair and discrepancies in an awaiting parts status will not be included in the Assessment. A copy of the P&E request shall accompany the corrosion discrepancy.

b. The Government will review all outstanding discrepancies in the ADB. Once all corrosion discrepancies have been verified in the ADB the physical inspection of the aircraft will be conducted. All discrepancies identified during the physical inspection will be annotated as minor, major, or critical as defined in paragraphs i through iii of this Addendum. In addition, corrosion discrepancies discovered will be annotated as light, moderate, or severe, as per the criteria promulgated below in paragraph iv through vi of this Addendum. Any critical discrepancy or severe corrosion discrepancy will result in zero points awarded on the MCI for that T/M/S aircraft. The final determination of whether zero points are awarded on an MCI is at the discretion of the COR.

i. Defect, Minor: A defect that does not materially reduce the usability of the unit or part for its intended purpose or is a departure from standards but which has no significant bearing on the effective use or operation of the unit or part, i.e. Full

Mission Capable status. Deferral of corrective actions until the next examination is not likely to impose an unequal economic penalty.

ii. Defect, Major: A defect, other than critical, that could result in failure or materially reduces the usability of the unit for its intended purpose i.e. Partial Mission

Capable status. Aircraft is safely flyable but requires major repairs within a specified period.

iii. Defect, Critical: A defect that constitutes a hazardous or unsafe condition, or as determined by experience and judgment could conceivably become so, thus making the aircraft unsafe for flight or endangering operating personnel, i.e. Not Mission

Capable status. The condition is such that a corrective action is required prior to release of the aircraft for flight.

iv. Light Corrosion: At this degree, the protective coating is scarred or etched and the condition of the metal is characterized by discoloration and pitting to a depth of approximately one mil (0.001 inch) maximum. This type of damage can normally be removed by light hand sanding.

v. Moderate Corrosion: This looks like light corrosion except that there may be some blisters or evidence of scaling and flaking of the coating or paint system, and the pitting depths may be as deep as 10 mils (0.010 inch). Extensive hand sanding or light mechanical sanding normally removes this type of damage.

vi. Severe Corrosion: Its general appearance may be similar to moderate corrosion with severe intergranular corrosion, blistering exfoliation, scaling, or flaking. The pitting depths are deeper than 10 mils (0.010 inch). This damage must be removed by extensive mechanical sanding or grinding.

c. The E-2 aircraft MCI will be divided into seven zones. Each zone will be inspected and graded using the same assessment criteria as all other T/M/S aircraft. Once all zonal inspections are complete, the average of the scores will be the E-2 aircraft MCI score.

d. The following two examples will help explain how MCI point values in Table 3 are determined for any of NSAWC’s T/M/S aircraft:

Example 1. The Government performed an MCI on one of NSAWC’s E/A-18G Growler aircraft during a scheduled visit. The inspection revealed six minor discrepancies and two major discrepancies. The Government inspectors assigned an Aircraft Material Condition

Inspection point value of 50.

This is how the Government used Table 3 to make their determination.

In Table 3, The 6 minor discrepancies correlates to a 90 (Point Value)

The 2 major discrepancies correlates to a 50 (Point Value)

The total discrepancies equals 8 and correlates to a 70 (Point Value) the aircraft MCI point value will be 50; the assigned point value cannot be greater than a point value that correlates to the number of major discrepancies.

Example 2. The Government performed an MCI on one of NSAWC’s F-16B Falcon aircraft during an unscheduled visit. The inspection revealed nine minor discrepancies and just one major discrepancy. The Government inspectors assigned an Aircraft Material

Condition Inspection point value of 60.

This is how the Government used Table 3 to make their determination.

In Table 3, The 9 minor discrepancies correlates to a 60 (Point Value)

The 1 major discrepancy correlates to a 70 (Point Value)

The total discrepancies equals 10 and correlates to a 50 (Point Value) the aircraft MCI point value will be 60; the assigned point value correlates to the total number of discrepancies.

e. In the event that more than one MCI per T/M/S aircraft takes place in one grading period, the Government will assign an average point value.

CPAR Evaluation Procedures

The Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) will designate the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to be responsible for establishing a monitoring process that will ensure the collection and recording of definitive quantitative data. The COR will receive, code, validate, assess, monitor, report, compile, and present the performance information to the Program Manager within ten working days after the end of each assessment period.

At the end of each assessment period, the Government will use the RFF, ADB Upgripe Count, and MCI point values generated by Quarterly Performance Assessment Tables to produce a TPR percentage for each

T/M/S aircraft. When the MCI Quarterly Performance Assessment Table is not required during the reporting period, insert “100” as the T/M/S MCI point value. The TPR will be calculated with the following example formula:

E-2 TPR = [(E-2 RFF X 0.4) + (E-2 ADB Upgripe Count X 0.4) + (E-2 MCI X 0.2)]

TPR

Quarterly

Performance Rating

<60% Unsatisfactory

60 to 69.9% Marginal

70 to 79.9% Satisfactory

80 to 89.9% Very Good

90 to 100% Exceptional

C. A Composite Performance Percentage (CPP) combines all T/M/S TPR percentages as established above, using the following example formula:

CPP = (E-2 TPR) + (F-16 TPR) + (F-18 TPR) + (E/A-18G) + (H-60 TPR)

D. The CPP will result in the following Quality of Product or Service ratings:

Performance Rating

<60% Unsatisfactory

60 to 69.9% Marginal

70 to 79.9% Satisfactory

80 to 89.9% Very Good

90 to 100% Exceptional

E. The four Quarterly CPPs will be averaged to establish a Quality of Product or Service rating for the year that will be used for the CPAR submission. The same adjectival ratings in the table above will apply to the yearly CPP.

The Government will monitor the Contractor’s performance as identified in the following table.
