1.3 Background. The United States Navy owns no human centrifuge device to support the CNAF M-3710.7 Series requirements for Centrifuge-based Flight Environment Training (CFET). CFET is currently provided by contract service providers. CFET provides pilots and naval flight officers with classroom-based academic instruction on acceleration physiology threats and countermeasures followed by exposure to a high G environment through laboratory-based centrifuge training. The main goal of centrifuge training is to provide students an opportunity to apply the countermeasures learned in the classroom, including the anti-G straining maneuver (AGSM), under increased acceleration force (+Gz) conditions. The centrifuge is able to provide onset rates and sustained G similar to what aircrew experience in tactical jets.

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

1. Purpose. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) provides a standard of surveillance for monitoring contractor execution of the training Curriculum and support for the CFET contract. It provides the approach the Government will use to conduct surveillance over the performance aspects of the effort. The QASP is used by Government Quality Assurance personnel to ensure the standards of the contract are met. The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and the Course Curriculum Model Manager (CCMM) monitor tasks issued under this requirement.

This plan uses quality metrics to evaluate the services the contractor is required to perform. This surveillance assures the Government that the contractor's performance is acceptable.

Any noncompliance with the contract performance requirements is not acceptable. The QASP is based on the premise that the contractor, not the Government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract.

2. Authority. Authority for issuance of this QASP is provided under FAR Part 46.4 Government Contract Quality Assurance under contract section E - Inspection and Acceptance, which provides for inspections and acceptance of the services and documentation called for in the contract, to be executed by the Contracting Officer or a duly authorized representative.

Scope. The scope of the CFET program includes training, personnel qualifications, device maintenance, and safety. The Contractor shall provide management and quality control actions necessary to meet the quality standards set forth by the contract. The Contractor shall use his own, established commercial quality control program to ensure compliance with the contract. The Government shall provide surveillance of the Contractor’s quality control efforts to ensure delivery of the results specified in the contract.

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

Contracting Officer - A 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 AIR 2.5.3.2. The ACO will be designated in the resulting contract.

Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) - An individual appointed in writing by the PCO to administer the contract.

NSTI Course Curriculum Model Manager (CCMM) - The CCMM is responsible for surveillance of the CFET course performance. The CCMM reports all surveillance findings to the COR. The Naval Survival Training Institute (NSTI) is the designated CCMM for all Naval Aviation Survival Training Program curricula, including the CFET course. NSTI is designated as the CCMM and will provide a training POC for this contract.

NMOTC Training Safety Officer (TSO) - The NMOTC TSO is responsible for surveillance of the CFET course safety. The NMOTC TSO reports all findings to the COR. NMOTC TSO is designated as the training safety POC for this contract.

4. 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. It is the Contracting Officer that assures the Contractor receives impartial, fair and equitable treatment under the contract. The Contracting Officer is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the Contractor’s performance.

Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) - The COR is responsible for technical administration of the contract and assures proper Government surveillance of the contractor’s performance. 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. The COR writes the contractor’s annual CPAR.

Course Curriculum Model Manager (CCMM) - The CCMM is responsible for regular surveillance of the contractor's effort with regard to compliance with CFET course performance. The CCMM POC will attend CFET training courses twice each year to assess training. The CCMM will conduct routine inspections of training records. The CCMM reports all surveillance findings to the COR for inclusion in the annual CPAR.

NMOTC Training Safety Officer (TSO) - The NMOTC TSO is responsible for regular surveillance of the contractor's effort with regard to compliance with CFET course safety. The NMOTC TSO will attend training courses on an annual basis and assess training safety. The NMOTC TSO reports all surveillance findings to the COR for inclusion in the annual CPAR.

In-Service Engineer. (ISE) - The COR will provide for an ISE inspection annually or as needed for device and equipment inspections. NAWCTSD will provide support as required.

5. Method of Surveillance. For all courses, the outcome shall be a successfully trained student. Performance success is measured against standards established by:

CNAF M-3710.7. “NATOPS General Flight and Operating Instructions Manual”, dated 05 May 2016.

OPNAVINST 1500.75D. “Policy and Governance for Conducting High Risk Training”, dated10 Aug 2017.

· Conducting annual on-site inspections.

Surveillance shall not impact the contractor's successful accomplishment of the mission.

6.1 Observation/Inspection. Surveillance inspectors will usually inspect safety, training and equipment records using formats at Attachment 3. Inspectors will visit sites to make personal observations and may use other report or inspection formats as needed. The QASP matrix below delineates the elements by which the Government will measure the contractor’s performance. The Government observers or inspectors will deliver a copy of the results of the inspections to the contractor and to the COR for assistance in making corrections.

6.2 Student Feedback. The contractor shall ensure that students provide course evaluation forms at the end of formal training sessions. Students shall complete and submit those forms. The three (3) elements of student evaluation are:

· Major aspects of academic classroom training

· Major elements of centrifuge training

· Additional student comments

If the COR, CCMM, or NMOTC TSO receives student complaints, the COR will notify the contractor of the nature and severity of the complaint and the COR will work with the contractor to resolve all complaints. The COR will refer complaints to the PCO if the contractor cannot resolve them quickly.

7. Performance Deficiencies. When surveillance detects deficiencies in training services, the CCMM, the NMOTC TSO, and the COR will notify the contractor and work with the contractor to resolve all deficiencies.

8. Unacceptable Performance. When surveillance detects ongoing deficiencies that the contractor does not address in a timely manner, the COR will notify the contractor. The Government may:

· Require rework.

· Require contractor to ensure future performance conforms to contract requirements.

· Issue Cure Notice.

· Issue Show Cause.

· Terminate the contract for default.

· List the issues in the annual CPAR.

Note: The Government may decline to exercise any option when it is in the Government's best interest to do so.
