PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY

6.1. The contract performance requirements are summarized in performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimally acceptable levels of service required for each requirement.

6.2 The PRS and the contractor’s QCP provide information on contract requirements, the expected level of contractor performance and the expected method of government validation and confirmation of services provided. These thresholds are critical to mission success. Procedures as set forth in the FAR 52.212-4 (a), Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, Inspection/Acceptance, will be used to remedy all deficiencies. The COR or designated representative will conduct the inspections, and any deficiencies are to be provided to the contractor in writing.
