Incentives/Disincentives:
The COR makes an annual report on Contractor Performance (CPARS or other annual report). The contractor’s failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract/task order, reflected in the COR’s annual report, may result in termination of the contract/task order and may also result in the loss of future Government contracts/task orders. The contractor’s failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract/task orders may result in the non-exercise of available options.
Table 3: Quality Assurance Deductions
| Service Requirements |
| Deductions in % |
| Timely Pickup/Delivery |
| 10% |
| Acceptable Packing Material |
| 5% |
| Vehicles and Containers |
| 5% |
| Containerization Loading |
| 5% |
| Timely, Accurate and Complete Submission of Required Documents |
| 5% |
Upon issuance of an order, if the Contractor fails to provide any of the elements of service identified within Table 3, Quality Assurance Deductions, the total price of that order shall be reduced by the percentage listed within the table. (Example: Under one order, two packing violations cited, a total of 10% will be deducted, 5% for each violation under packing).
If a violation is reported to the COR or Quality Assurance (QA) a deduction is applied to the service invoice amount. The Form 2018, Report of Packaging and Crating Contract Violation, is submitted to the contractor for review. If the contractor does not agree with violation report, the contractor must appeal, in writing to the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) within five (5) working days of notification of the violation. If the appeal is denied or no appeal is received, a Set-Off Action form is created and the deducted amount is deducted from the invoice. A copy is forwarded to the Contractor and DFAS paying office.
In no event shall the total price reduction for any order exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the total unadjusted price of the order.
In accordance with the inspection of services provisions of the contract, the contractor will be incentivized to provide quality services in a timely manner since the Government can require the Contractor, at no additional cost, to replace or correct work that fails to meet contract requirements.
