3.1. Quality Control/ Quality Assurance

3.1.1. Post Award Conference / Periodic Progress Meetings: The Contractor agrees to attend any post award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration office in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 42.5. The Contracting Officer (CO), Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR), and other Government personnel, as appropriate, may meet periodically with the contractor to review the contractor's performance. At these meetings, the contracting officer will apprise the contractor of how the Government views the contractor's performance and the contractor will apprise the Government of problems, if any, being experienced. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues. These meetings shall be at no additional cost to the government. Meetings may be held in person, by conference call, or by email.

3.1.2. Quality Control (QC): The contractor shall develop and maintain an effective Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure services are performed in accordance with this PWS. The contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non- recurrence of defective services. The contractor’s QCP is the means by which it assures itself that its work complies with the requirements of the contract. As a minimum, the contractor shall develop QC procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 2, Service Summary (SS). A final QCP shall be submitted to the CO NLT 15 days after contract award. After acceptance of the QCP, the contractor shall obtain the CO’s acceptance in writing of any proposed changes to its QCP. The QCP shall be reviewed annually and an updated plan provided to the CO NLT 15 days after option exercise. CO acceptance will be in writing and include proposed changes.

3.1.3. Quality Assurance:

3.1.4. COR/COTR Surveillance with QASP: The Government will

P a g e 11 | 12

CUI

performance standards. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and acceptable quality level(s) or defect rate(s). The COR and/or COTR is the primary contact for surveillance and contract performance. The COR and/or COTR does not have the authority to make any contract changes or authorize additional work.

3.1.5. Customer Complaints: All valid customer complaints shall require services to be re- performed, if applicable, as soon as possible after notification, but prior to the next service period. Re-performance however does not eliminate the customer complaint and it still applies against the contractor’s performance threshold. If the contractor challenges the validity of the complaint and the COR and contractor cannot come to agreement, the customer complaint will be forwarded to the CO for resolution. Customer complaints will be tracked and if the performance threshold is exceeded, action will be taken by the CO IAW the applicable inspection/acceptance clause.
