Periodic validation will be conducted on both a regular and random basis (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annually) and may be adjusted unilaterally by the Government without notice to the contractor and without contract modification, based on performance quality trends.
11.3. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. The CORs will be responsible for receiving and validating customer complaints. The Contracting Officer (CO) will make the final determination of the validity of customer complaint(s) should there be a disagreement between the CORs and the contractor. Services which have been determined to be valid customer complaints shall be re-performed by the contractor within 48 hours after written notification by the COR Office.
11.4. CONTRACT CONFORMANCE. Contractor non-conformance with contract requirements is considered a “defect”. The term “defect” is used in reference to a service output which does not meet the standard of performance specified in the contract for that service.
11.4.1. Any unsatisfactory inspection, “defect” result, will be recorded in writing by the COR Office, and the contractor shall re-perform immediately upon verbal notification from the COR if practical. Contractor re-performance is required no later than 48 hours after notification from COR Office.
11.4.2. Not meeting the performance threshold for any performance objective may result in a warning or letter of concern from the Contracting Officer.
11.4.3. Not meeting the performance threshold of the performance objectives listed with the
Service Summary tables for any two or more consecutive or non-consecutive months during a contract period may constitute an immediate progress meeting with the Contractor. All remedies shall be IAW FAR Clause 52.212-4(a), Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance.
11.5. PERIODIC PROGRESS MEETINGS. IAW AFI 63- 138, the Contracting Officer, COR Office and other Government personnel as appropriate, and the contractor shall meet at least once per year to discuss the contractor’s performance. During such performance meetings, the following issues should be addressed: opportunities to improve the contract, any anticipated contract modifications, unsatisfactory inspections and valid customer complaints against each performance objective observed and the steps taken by the Government and/or contractor to prevent occurrences in the future. The COR Office shall provide a summation of unsatisfactory inspections and/or customer complaints.
11.5.1. The Contract Administrator will put the minutes in writing, signed by the CO and any other signatures deemed appropriate, and distribute to all participating parties. A copy will be placed in the official contract file. Should the contractor not concur with the minutes, the contractor will provide written notification within three (3) business days to the Contract Administrator identifying areas of non-concurrence for resolution.
