QASP (Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan) Ver. 20260707

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN (QASP)

1. Introduction:

This QASP is pursuant to the requirements listed in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) entitled Oily Wastewater (OWW) Treatment, Recycling, and Disposal Services. This plan sets forth the procedures and guidelines to ensure that the contractor’s performance achieves the Government’s performance standards and requested service levels. The Government (Govt) reserves the right to make changes to the QASP as necessary.

3. Method of Surveillance:

The following surveillance methods are utilized under this contract.

3.1: Contractor’s Performance Evaluation Sheet (CPES) The Govt EPOC evaluates contractor’s performance using the CPES on a quarterly basis as follows.

Evaluation Period

The Govt EPOC is responsible for assuring proper Government surveillance of the contractor’s performance. Below table depicts Performance Objective, Performance Standard, Acceptable Quality Level (AQL), and Assessment Method.

The contractor’s performance is evaluated each performance objective and will rate the contractor’s performance as “Acceptable (A)” when the contractor’s performance fulfills the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) or “Not Acceptable (N)” when the contractor’s performance does not fulfill the AQL. The evaluator’s comment is mandatory.

Based on the performance objectives and comments, the EPOC determines that the contractor’s overall performance is Acceptable or Unacceptable as follows.

3.2. Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR)

The SRF TPOC evaluates contractor’s performance via CPAR on an annual basis. Per the FAR Subpart 42.15 and Navy's CPAR System Guide, CPAR is used for the annual evaluation of overall contract performance. The SRF TPOC evaluates based on CPES and other information. This report may affect future source selections to ensure that the Federal Government only does business with companies that provide quality products and services in support of the agency’s missions.

4. Record of Evaluation:

The Evaluators and Contracting Office maintain evaluation records.

The Government will document favorable contractor performance via the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and/or the local Contractor Performance Evaluation System (CPES). Consistently meeting or exceeding the Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) will serve as a primary incentive, as these positive past performance records will be utilized by the Government in the evaluation of future contract solicitations.

b. Disincentives (Non-Conforming Services) Disincentives for non-conforming OWW treatment and disposal services will be enforced in accordance with standard commercial contract remedies (e.g., FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services). The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to re-perform any defective or non-conforming service to meet contract requirements at no additional cost to the Government.

c. Mandatory Corrective Action for Unacceptable Performance In the event the Contractor’s overall performance is rated 'Unacceptable' in a CPES and/or CPARS evaluation, the Contractor shall immediately initiate corrective action. The Contractor must rectify all identified deficiencies and submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) at no additional cost to the Government within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the official evaluation report.
