Refuse and Recycle QASP.pdf

This is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) for Solid Waste Management and Waste Stream Diversion Services at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Adelphi Laboratory Center (ALC), and Blossom Point Research Facility. The QASP establishes methods and procedures for Government surveillance of contractor performance under a Performance Work Statement (PWS), distinguishing between the contractor's Quality Control Plan (QCP) and the Government's surveillance role. The plan is authorized under FAR Section E (Inspection and Acceptance) and references FAR 37.604, FAR 46.401, and DFARS 246.401.

The QASP identifies eight key performance metrics with specific acceptance quality levels (AQL) and surveillance methods: (1) Refuse Collection and Disposal—missed scheduled pick-ups must not exceed 2 working days; (2) Recycling Collection—same 2 working-day standard; (3) Reports—maximum 4% deviation from requirements with 100% inspection of all submittals; (4) Regulatory Compliance—2% deviation standard with random sampling and customer complaint inspections; (5) Program Manager Availability—zero deviation standard requiring 100% daily verification; (6) Quality Control Plan—zero deviation with review and acceptance by the Contracting Officer; (7) Employee Conduct—zero deviation regarding removal of employees for misconduct or security violations under 41 U.S.C. Section 423, with 100% review of occurrences; and (8) Damages—zero deviation with 100% review of damage reports. Non-conforming services result in Non-Conforming Reports issued to the contractor and potential negative CPARS (Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System) reports. Remedies for failure to perform include notifications, withholding payment percentages, and contract termination per FAR Part 49. The Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and Technical Monitor (TM) have defined roles in contract administration and surveillance activities.
