The QASP establishes procedures on how this assessment/inspection process will be conducted. It provides the details associated with a continuous oversight process, to include:

1.2 The QASP is not part of the contract nor is it intended to duplicate the contractor’s quality control plan. This QASP is a living document. Flexibility in the QASP is required to allow for an increase or decrease in the level of surveillance necessary based on contractor performance.

In addition, the QASP should recognize and accommodate unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances which might occur that are outside the control of the contractor.
