7.0. QUALITY

7.1. Quality Control Plan

The Contractor shall develop, implement, and maintain a Quality Control Plan (QCP) to ensure contract compliance, and act to ensure that potential problems or risks to service performance are identified, documents, and resolved prior to failure or immediately upon identification.

In the event of findings by the Government Quality Assurance Program, the Contractor shall implement progressively responsive quality control measures commensurate with the severity of the Government's findings.

The Contractor may be required to update or revise the final QCP after approval due to changing Government requirements or identified shortfalls.

7.2. Quality Assurance Program

The Government’s role in quality assurance is to ensure that the Contractor is achieving the quality levels established in the performance of these services and focuses on the Contractors’ QC plan. NIST periodically validates the execution of the Contractor's QCP by reviewing performance, reports, rider experience or complaints, and the timeliness of corrective actions.

The Government shall inspect the Contractor’s performance using a quality assurance surveillance plan (QASP) through random inspections, scheduled inspections, or any other method of inspection by the COR or designee that the Government determines reflects the actual performance of this Contract.

Contractor performance shall be evaluated based on the performance success or deficiencies, success or failure in meeting contract requirements, and the Contractor’s record of correcting deficiencies when noted.

While corrective actions shall be noted, a record of significant performance deficiencies shall lead to a performance evaluation that is less than satisfactory even if the Contractor takes corrective action.

8.0. PAYMENT SCHEDULE

The Contractor will be paid, in accordance with the payments clause in the contract and as otherwise noted in this document, upon receipt of a proper invoice.

Invoices shall be submitted monthly in arrears, following performance of services.

NIST LOCAL-53 CONTRACT PERFORMANCE DURING CHANGES IN NIST OPERATING STATUS

PAGE 23 OF 88 1333ND26QNB190079

All contractors performing work on active contracts at the U.S. Department of Commerce(DOC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campuses and/or working in NIST workspaces should go to the www.nist.gov website and under the "About NIST" tab click on "Visit". This site includes information about campus access and security information; identification requirements; parking information and more.

Contractor personnel are required to check the appropriate campus operating status and personnel requirements at https://www.nist.gov/campus-status daily prior to arriving on site. All personnel must adhere to the requirements set forth in the operating status.

Unless otherwise stated in the contract terms and conditions, normal days of business operation are Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Holidays. However, throughout the contract period of performance, there may be circumstances beyond the control of NIST that will impact normal days of business operation such as inclement weather, power outages, etc. In circumstances such as these, the Contractor must call the appropriate NIST campus status line to verify the operating status:

Gaithersburg Campus Operating Status Line:

(301) 975-8000

(800) 437-4385 x8000 (toll free)

Boulder Campus Operating Status Line:

(303) 497-4000

(303) 497-3000 option 2

In the event of a lapse in appropriation, access to Government facilities and resources, including equipment and systems will be limited to excepted personnel for both Federal employees and contractor personnel. If performance of the contract is onsite and/or requires Government interaction, unless the contractor has been, or is notified that it is required to work under an excepted status, the contractor must stop work. The work stoppage shall remain in effect until the lapse is resolved and notification is provided via the NIST website at www.nist.gov (banner on front page) and/or the NIST operating status line(s). Additionally, contractors are encouraged to monitor public broadcasts or the Office of Personnel Management's website at www.opm.gov for the Federal Government operating status.

NIST will provide notification to all contractors that are determined to have excepted status.

All excepted contractors are required to continue performance and communicate with the appointed Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for further guidance, or NIST Contracting Officer if a COR is not appointed.

Contractors with active supply or service contracts that are fully funded at the time of contract award and do not require access to Government facilities, resources, or active administration by Government personnel in a manner that would not cause the Government to incur additional obligations during the lapse in appropriation may continue performance.

Please note that in all circumstances that impact operations on the NIST campuses, contractors are expected to follow all direction and guidance provided by NIST authorities.
