12.4 Quality Assurance

The COR will review for completeness all documentation that the Contractor submits, and may return it to the Contractor for correction. Absence of any comments by the COR will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for complying with the requirements of this requirement. Final approval and acceptance of documentation required herein shall be by letter of approval and acceptance by COR. The Contractor shall not construe any letter of acknowledgment of receipt material as a waiver of review or as an acknowledgment that the material is in conformance with the PWS.

12.5 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

The QASP will be used primarily as a tool to verify that the Contractor is performing all services required by this PWS in a timely, accurate and complete fashion. This ensures that the Government has an effective and systematic method of surveillance for the services associated to this contract.

Performance Criticality and Performance Standards (below) shall be employed.

12.5.1 . Schedule The due dates for deliverables and the actual accomplishment of the schedule will be assessed against original due dates and milestones established for the contract.

12.5.2 . Deliverables The deliverables required to be submitted will be assessed against the specifications for the deliverables detailed in the PWS for the required content, quality, timeliness and accuracy.

12.5.3 . Past Performance In addition to any schedule and deliverable aspects of performance discussed above, pursuant to FAR 42.15, the Government will assess the contractor's record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship, the contractor's adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance, the contractor's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction, and the contractor's business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

12.5.4 . Surveillance Methods The primary methods of surveillance used to monitor performance under this contract will include COR surveillance, random or planned sampling, periodic inspection and internal/external validated customer complaints.

12.5.5 . Performance Measurement Performance will be measured in accordance with the following table:

12.5.6 . Performance Requirements Summary If performance is within the listed acceptable quality levels, it will be considered to be satisfactory.

If not, overall performance may be considered unsatisfactory.

12.5.7 . Incentives/Disincentives The COR documents contractor performance in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The contractor's failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract, reflected in the COR's annual report, may result in termination of the contract and may result in the loss of future Government contracts. The contractor's failure to achieve satisfactory performance under the contract may result in the non-exercise of available options. For each item that does not meet acceptable levels, the Government may issue a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR). CDRs will be forwarded to the Contracting Officer with a copy sent to the contractor. The contractor must reply in writing within five workdays of receipt identifying how future occurrences of the problem will be prevented. Based upon the contractor's past performance and plan to solve the problem, the Contracting Officer will determine if any further action will be taken. In accordance with the inspection of services provisions of the contract, the contractor will be incentivized to provide quality products 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.

13.0 APPLICABILITY FOR SECURITY

This text applies to contractor employees requiring physical access to any area of a federally controlled base, facility or activity and/or requiring access to a DoN or DoD computer/network/system to perform certain unclassified sensitive duties. This clause also applies to contractor employees who access Privacy Act and Protected Health Information, provide support associated with fiduciary duties, or perform duties that have been identified as National Security Position, as advised by the command security manager. It is the responsibility of the responsible security officer of the command/facility where the work is performed to ensure compliance.

Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy Command under this contract is required to obtain a Department of Defense Common Access Card (DoD CAC). Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.

ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES

Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required, contractor employees shall in process with the Commands Security Manager upon arrival to the Command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract.

ACCESS TO DOD IT SYSTEMS

In accordance with SECNAV M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to DoN or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT- III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions, which require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information Assurance Manager.

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation , which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System or Computing Environment they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee's duties, such employees shall in-process with the Navy Command's Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy Information Technology resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contractor supervisor is not authorized to sign the SAAR-N; therefore, the government employee with knowledge of the system /network access required or the COR shall sign the SAAR-N as the "supervisor".

The SAAR-N shall be forwarded to the Command's Security Manager at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date. Failure to provide the required documentation at least 30 days prior to the individual's start date may result in delaying the individual's start date.

When required to maintain access to required IT systems or networks, the contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring access complete annual Information Assurance (IA) training, and maintain a current requisite background investigation. The Contractor's Security Representative shall contact the Command Security Manager for guidance when reinvestigations are required.

INTERIM ACCESS

The Command's Security Manager may authorize issuance of a DoD CAC and interim access to a DoN or DoD unclassified computer/network upon a favorable review of the investigative questionnaire and advance favorable fingerprint results. When the results of the investigation are received and a favorable determination is not made, the contractor employee working on the contract under interim access will be denied access to the computer network and this denial will not relieve the contractor of his/her responsibility to perform.

DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS

The potential consequences of any requirement under this clause including denial or termination of physical or system access in no way relieves the contractor from the requirement to execute performance under the contract within the timeframes specified in the contract. Contractors shall plan ahead in processing their employees and subcontractor employees. The contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts when the subcontractor is permitted to have unclassified access to a federally controlled facility, federally controlled information system/network and/or to government information, meaning information not authorized for public release.
