GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE

PLAN

Space Exploration Network Services Evolution (SENSE)

CONTRACT NO. TBD

NOVEMBER 2017

FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY (10/2015)

FOREWARD

Under performance-based acquisitions such as this, the Contractor assumes more responsibility and greater risk in exchange for more flexibility and less direct Government involvement in contract activities. However, the Government still has a responsibility to conduct surveillance.

Surveillance spans a spectrum of Government involvement. Surveillance may be as simple as inspecting a delivered support or service at acceptance or as complex as continually monitoring contractor performance. To meet this responsibility, the Government needs to understand the risks involved in the Contractor's activity and how the Contractor is managing those risks.

This Government Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan has been prepared to describe the Government’s surveillance of this contract. It is a “living” document that will be tailored to the contractor selected. The Government welcomes suggestions for improving this Plan. Of particular interest are ideas on what information the Government should monitor (i.e., metrics) and how the Government can most cost-effectively obtain the relevant performance data it needs.

Space Exploration Network Services Evolution (SENSE)

GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this Government Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is to define the overall approach the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) intends to use to monitor and survey Contractor [onsite and offsite] performance under the Space Exploration Network Services Evolution (SENSE) Contract No. TBD. This QASP defines the process the Government expects to follow to obtain data, evaluate the Contractor, and determine if contract performance conforms to contract requirements. The goal is to balance the level of Government surveillance with perceived impacts and risks associated with performance hereunder. The QASP can be changed unilaterally by the Government at any time during the contract.

GSFC plans to utilize a surveillance team to evaluate Contractor performance and direct surveillance activities. The team will establish and rely on objective and subjective performance metrics based on the contract Statement of Work (SOW) [and task orders issued thereunder] to evaluate Contractor performance against requirements.

The QASP is a Government-developed surveillance tool prepared in accordance with FAR 46.4 and NFS 1846.4. It shall not be included in the contract, per NFS 1846.401(a)(iii), but provided to the Contractor for informational purposes only.

1.2 Scope

This QASP identifies the program requirements, strategies, resources, review and control processes, surveillance activities, and metrics for continuous measurement of Contractor performance. This plan provides effective and systematic surveillance methods for evaluating the Contractor services, processes, and products provided under this contract. The Government may evaluate work at any time during the Contractor’s work performance.

The intent of the QASP is to ensure that the Contractor performs in accordance with acceptable quality levels and the Government receives the quality of services and products called for in the contract. This QASP does not detail how the Contractor accomplishes the work. Rather, the QASP is based on the premise that the contractor, not the Government, is responsible for managing its quality controls and ensuring that performance meets the terms of the contract. The role of the Government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved.

The QASP is intended to be a “living” document from which resources and activities will evolve from one phase to another during the life of the contract, and will be updated as required and defined in this document.

This plan is applicable to all services performed or products provided by the SENSE Contractor(s). Throughout this QASP, the term “Contractor” is used. In terms of this plan, it should be known that unless explicitly stated, the term “Contractor” is applicable to both the SENSE Contractor and any and all of its subcontractors.

The surveillance program shall be a collaborative and integrated effort that includes all areas of contract management, including the following:

a. Engineering & Technology

b. Quality Assurance

c. Procurement/Subcontracting/Purchasing

d. Finance

e. Property

f. Environmental

g. Export Control

h. Safety and Health

i. Security

1.3 Program Definition and Contract Description

1.3.1 Program Background and Definition

Exploration and Space Communications Division (ESC) at GSFC enables scientific discovery and space exploration by providing innovative and mission-effective space communications and navigation solutions to the largest community of diverse users. ESC manages NASA’s operational geostationary communications satellites and ground networks to meet mission communications and navigation needs. This combination of space and ground infrastructure is designed to be fully capable of operating safely at ground station sites and in orbits positioned strategically in space to ensure adequate availability. Today, the operational portions of the ESC Systems consist of two operational networks - Space Network (SN) and Near Earth Network (NEN) – and the Network Integration Center (NIC). These networks currently are managed using separate management practices. It is the intention of the Government to migrate to integrated common management practices and network solution services where practicable under this contract.

1.3.2 Contract Goals and Objectives:

The GSFC goal for this SENSE contract is to enable mission success for every customer using SENSE services. Key objectives of the SENSE contract are to decrease cost and maintain or improve operational efficiency and reliability, while maintaining an acceptable level of risk and providing for safe operation of the missions.

The purpose of this Cost Plus Award Fee contract is to provide Program Management, Systems Engineering, and Operations, Maintenance, and Sustainment. The Contractor shall conduct specific activities and provide deliverables as specified in the contract.

1.4 Guiding Directives

The guiding documents for this surveillance effort include the Contract SOW, performance standards, Performance Evaluation Plan, Task Order requirements as specified in issued Task Orders and deliverable requirements. The contract identifies general requirements and the Task Orders identify specific objectives or results desired for each issued Task Order requirement.

2.0 SURVEILLANCE STRATEGY AND APPROACH

2.1 General

There exists a wide-ranging spectrum associated with surveillance, ranging from oversight to insight. The strategy and approach to surveillance by GSFC for the SENSE contract, as detailed in this plan, is one that concentrates primarily on insight as opposed to oversight. However, some limited areas do exist where oversight is conducted either via GSFC exercising approval authority on contract-deliverable documentation in critical areas of performance or participation in the Contractor's configuration management process. Regardless, the Government reserves the right to initiate additional surveillance activities (insight or oversight) on an ‘as-needed’ basis, based upon circumstances and data collected (adverse trends, negative data points, lack of corrective action, etc.) via the surveillance activities defined in this plan. As applicable, any and all oversight activities would be communicated and coordinated with the Contractor and subsequently documented within this QASP.

The level of risk and the impact of failure are major determinants in helping define the type of surveillance to be conducted. Clearly, if the impact of failure is minor and the level of risk is low, only a small amount of insight-driven surveillance would normally be needed. Conversely, if the impact of failure could be significant and the level of risk is high, more extensive surveillance (including possible oversight surveillance) is warranted.

This insight-based approach to surveillance will utilize and leverage the Contractor's Sofware Assurance Plan (QAP) and SAE 9100 compliant Quality Management System (QMS).

Definitions, requirements, and specifications contained in the contract, SOW, and referenced documents will establish a baseline for the surveillance activities. This insight-based approach will seek objective evidence and data that the Contractor's program and processes are functioning as intended in accordance with the terms of the contract. The focus will be on trusting the Contractor's QMS, and verifying that the Contractor is performing according to the policies, procedures, plans, and processes defined by their QMS.

GSFC will strive to use an insight-driven surveillance approach throughout the performance of this contract. The overall surveillance goal will be to obtain objective evidence and data that enable the Government to determine whether the Contractor's program and processes are functioning as intended in accordance with the terms of the contract. The focus will be on prevention rather than detection, i.e., emphasizing controlled processes and methods of operation, as opposed to relying solely upon inspection and test to identify problems.

This insight-based approach to surveillance as applied to the contract will result in lower levels of Government intervention, thus allowing the Contractor to assume full accountability and responsibility for integrity of processes. Although less obtrusive than oversight, this insight-based approach to surveillance continues to provide the Government with visibility into the Contractor's programmatic processes, technical processes, progress, and issues at all levels.

As required by FAR 42.1502 and GPR 5100.2, Supplier Performance Evaluations, the Contracting Officer (CO), in collaboration with the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), will annually complete a Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation, which will also be reviewed by the Contractor, and become a part of the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

2.2 Surveillance Activity Limitations and Guidance

2.2.1 General

Surveillance of SENSE contract, will be conducted on a non-interference basis and in a manner that will not unduly delay work being performed by the Contractor.

2.2.2 Insight

Insight is an assurance process that uses performance requirements and, if definable, performance metrics to ensure process capability, product quality and end-item effectiveness.

Insight relies on gathering a minimum set of product or process data that provides adequate visibility into the integrity of the product or process. The data may be acquired from Contractor records, usually in a non-intrusive parallel method.

Insight as applied to this contract will result in lower levels of Government surveillance and allow the Contractor to assume increased responsibility and accountability for the integrity of processes. Insight will rely heavily on evaluating planned contract deliverables, performance standards, and existing Contractor procedures and working documents, if available.

2.2.3 Oversight

Oversight as applied to this contract will result in higher levels of Government surveillance. The Government will gather information pertaining to the Contractor’s process through on-site involvement and/or inspection in the process and will monitor the process itself. The Government’s involvement in the Contractor’s performance, through oversight, will be determined necessary by the COR.

2.3 Surveillance Organization and Resources

2.3.1 General

The activities detailed in this plan will be supported and performed by a group of individuals, many with differing levels of responsibilities, but all maintaining a level of consistency in terms of the surveillance strategy, approach, and activities in general. Specific entities supporting the SENSE contract surveillance activities include the identified NASA GSFC personnel; Contractor QA Department personnel (including their subcontractors); and contractor support services and delegated agency personnel, if applicable. Each of these entities and their associated responsibilities/input to the surveillance activities on SENSE contract are described in the following paragraphs.

2.3.2 Surveillance Team

2.3.2.1 General Organization and Responsibilities

General organization and responsibilities of the Surveillance Team are as follows:

a. The surveillance team will be composed of key Government personnel. All surveillance activities will be implemented using NASA and NASA support-contractor personnel, a delegated agency (e.g., Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA)), and/or a surveillance support contractor(s). The surveillance team may be composed of:

1. GSFC Procurement Personnel (i.e., CO, Contract Specialist)

2. GSFC’s Program Personnel (i.e., COR, Task Monitor(s) Task Monitor(s) and

Technical Monitor(s) and Resource/Financial Analyst(s));

3. GSFC Safety, Health and Security Personnel (both physical and Information

Technology (IT) Security);

4. GSFC Property Administrator Personnel;

5. Resident Office or Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) personnel;

6. GSFC Safety and Mission Assurance Personnel;

7. SENSE Performance Evaluation Board

b. The team’s primary purpose will be to provide direction for contract surveillance activities and to serve as the Government’s focal point in reviewing and evaluating overall Contractor performance under the SENSE contract. The team will obtain information from various sources, including deliverable Contractor documents, communications with the Contractor, and reports by other personnel or representatives (e.g., Task Monitor(s); Safety, Health, or Security personnel; DCMA) who interact with the Contractor.

c. NASA GSFC has the responsibility for independently assuring that the Contractor's operations meet NASA's contract performance requirements and enable success. As such, surveillance team members will have open access to all areas in which this contract is being performed and will interface directly with their Contractor counterparts.

Government expertise with regards to the SENSE contract may be applied in the form of technical consultants and/or providing assistance at working group meetings, design/development and specification reviews, review board meetings, surveys, audits, program reviews, and as in-plant representatives. The team will document problems, concerns and issues, and take note of Contractor accomplishments. They will collect performance metric data, where applicable, and will participate in Contractor review meetings, such as those described herein. Information will flow from individual team members through the COR to surveillance team representatives, who will present issues and achievements at surveillance team meetings. Information gained from these formal and informal exchanges of ideas and collection of data will be compiled and evaluated as a continuous measure of contract performance.

d. All available information will be evaluated, and any action by GSFC will be determined based upon the scope and magnitude of any particular issue or problem. The surveillance team chairperson, the COR, will formally notify the CO of situations where it is perceived that the Contractor has failed to take prudent corrective or preventive action, of situations that increase risk, or of findings of continued contractual non-compliance.

2.3.2.2 SENSE Contracting Officer

SENSE CO responsibilities are as follows:

a. The CO is responsible for ensuring performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensuring compliance with the terms of the contract, issuing task orders, and safeguarding the interests of the United States in its contractual relationships. Within the surveillance area the CO takes inputs from the Program/Project managers, COR, Safety, Health, GSFC Safety and Mission Assurance Office, SENSE Performance Evaluation Board, and others to establish the detailed surveillance requirements to be performed by NASA personnel, delegated to another Federal agency via a GSFC Letter of Delegation, or to be performed under contract by a surveillance support Contractor. The CO will also assure that the Contractor receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under this contract. The CO is ultimately responsible for the final determination of the adequacy of the contractor’s performance.

b. The CO will complete an annual Contractor performance assessment report using the

CPARS that will also be reviewed by the Contractor and become a part of the PPIRS.

2.3.2.3 SENSE Contracting Officer’s Representative

SENSE COR responsibilities are as follows:

a. The COR is designated in writing by the CO to act as his or her authorized technical representative to assist in administering the contract. The COR monitors the technical work performed under the contract, evaluates Contractor performance, serves as the primary interface for the Contractor and the CO for all technical matters, reports on contract status to Program/Project Management, and recommends corrective action when necessary. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments, authorize any contractual changes on the Government’s behalf, or in any way direct the Contractor to operate in conflict with the contract terms and conditions. Any changes that the Contractor deems may affect the contract or task order value, terms, or conditions shall be referred to the CO for action. The COR’s limitations of authority are contained in the NASA Form 1634, COR Delegation.

b. The COR assumes full responsibility for directing the surveillance activities identified in this plan. The COR also trains SENSE Task Monitors on evaluation procedures for evaluating contractor performance.

c. The COR will assist the CO in the completion of the contract’s annual performance assessment report using CPARS.

2.3.2.4 Task Monitors

GSFC Task Monitors are individuals appointed by the COR for developing Task Orders, reviewing the Contractor’s Task Plans and Task Order reports, and monitoring Task Order performance. Task Orders will include quantitative metrics, as appropriate. Task Monitors provide detailed technical oversight of the Contractor’s performance and report findings to the COR in a timely, complete and impartial fashion. While the Task Monitors may serve as a direct conduit to provide Government guidance and feedback to the Contractor on technical matters, the Task Monitors are not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual changes on the Government’s behalf.

2.3.2.5 Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA)

A DCMA representative may be co-located with the Contractor. The DCMA representative is tasked to provide surveillance support in accordance with the provisions of the GSFC Letter of Delegation and this plan.

2.3.2.6 Systems Assurance Manager

The GSFC Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate (SMAD), Code 300, assigns a Chief Safety and Mission Assurance Officer (CSO) to provide surveillance support to assure that contractor and subcontractor(s) meet the SENSE contract requirements. The CSO is the principle interface between the ESC Division and SMAD and has leadership responsibility for accomplishing overall SENSE contract QA surveillance within the guidelines of this plan. The SMAD and its service support contractor are responsible for surveillance support of matters pertaining to hardware and software QA, systems reviews, system safety and reliability, parts, materials and processes, testing, and anomaly reporting/resolution. The SMA manages the collection of data and metrics from performance assurance, integration and test, fabrication, and system safety organizations and/or activities to facilitate the evaluation of the Contractor performance.

2.3.2.7 SENSE Contractor Quality Assurance

It is expected that the Contractor will maintain a QA lead as part of its QMS. It is expected that the QA lead will perform QA-related activities for the SENSE contract efforts. The Contractor's QA lead will serve a vital role in the success of the surveillance efforts detailed in this plan. In particular, it is expected that the Contractor will task its QA lead to serve as a focal point for the Government in several areas including but not limited to provision of and access to all requested insight data/lifecycle-related assets and artifacts as they pertain to the insight areas described in this plan, and all QA-related activities conducted by this group.

The Government expects that as necessary and applicable, the QA lead may direct the Government to other groups/individuals supporting the SENSE contract effort in order to obtain requested insight data. These groups/individuals may include the Contractor's Program/Business Management office and/or representatives, discipline engineers, Configuration Management representatives, etc.

2.3.2.8 SENSE Performance Evaluation Board

The SENSE Performance Evaluation Board (PEB) is made up of voting members appointed by the Fee Determination Official (FDO) to evaluate the Contractor's performance according to the standards and criteria stated in SENSE Performance Evaluation Plan. The PEB will submit an award fee letter to the FDO for signature, which addresses the PEB's findings and recommendations for each award-fee evaluation period.

2.4 Forms of Surveillance

2.4.1 General

Surveillance on SENSE contract will be performed using any of the primary surveillance forms applied to the insight areas described in Section 3 of this document, during applicable stages of the contract. These primary forms of surveillance are described below.

2.4.2 Communications

Communications is a general surveillance activity. Communications is a two-way process and includes both written and oral communication. Examples of written communications activities that may be used in conducting surveillance include:

a. Exchanges from the Contractor to the Government of plans, procedures, quality records, reports, etc., and/or provision of read-only access to repositories which retain these items.

b. Exchanges from the Government to Contractor of letters, reports, review results, etc.

c. Ad hoc information submitted by the COR and/or SENSE Task Monitors to the CO related to the Contractor’s electronic mail.

Examples of oral communications activities that may be used in conducting surveillance include:

a. Informal telephone calls, teleconferences.

b. Informal verbal inquiries, discussions, engineering consultations.

c. Working group meetings, IPT participation, technical/status briefings, progress reviews, technical information meetings, and formal and informal reviews.

d. Informal discussions.

2.4.3 Management Reviews and Reporting

Examples of management review and reporting activities that may be used in conducting surveillance include:

a. Formal, process, and progress reviews

b. Review of contract deliverables

c. Documentation of problems, issues and concerns

d. Data collection reporting

e. Review of task order deliverables, products, and documentation

2.4.4 Engineering Peer Reviews

GPR 8700.6 will be used by GSFC to review products developed under the SENSE contract at critical milestones. The Engineering Peer Review process to review Contractor's readiness for a spacecraft launch, early orbit and operational support, including nominal and contingency/emergency as described in the contract deliverable. ESC Division personnel will also use the Engineering Peer Review process in the event that special evaluations of Contractor activities are required, such as investigations of significant failures, major equipment failure, etc.

2.4.5 Participation in Contractor Configuration Management Processes

NASA's GSFC Configuration Control Board (CCB) approval is required for changes that affect SENSE contract capabilities and external interfaces. The Contractor is required to facilitate GSFC insight into the contractor configuration management process. This process will be accomplished through GSFC participation in the Contractor configuration management process, and insight into Contractor configuration controlled documentation. ESC Division personnel monitor network performance and activities with metrics. These metrics are used to assess network and contractor performance as well as to ensure mission customer requirements are met.

3. SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES
