The Contractor’s quality control program, which is embodied in the quality control plan, shall include, but not be limited to, the following. A monitoring and inspection system covering all the services listed in the Performance Requirements Summary. It must specify the elements of work performance to be monitored and inspected, either on a scheduled or unscheduled basis; the methods to be used; frequency of monitoring and inspection; the format and content of records and reports to be generated; and the title(s) of the individual(s) who will perform the monitoring and inspection.

(c) Government Quality Assurance Responsibilities

The Government will monitor the Contractor’s performance using predetermined quality assurance surveillance procedures to examine and determine compliance with contract performance requirements. A copy of these procedures will be provided to the Contractor prior to the start of contract performance. In keeping with the Government’s responsibility for quality assurance, the Government reserves the right to review all administrative, managerial, and statistical reports;

telecommunications services; publicity materials and resource library materials using the Performance Requirements Summary. A copy of the Performance Requirements Summary will be provided to the Contractor prior to the start of contract performance. Final determination that reports, resource and publicity materials, and services rendered meet the requirements is solely the responsibility of the Government. All surveillance observations will be recorded by the Government.

The Contractor shall, within 48 hours, notify the Contracting Officer, or his/her technical representative if so directed by the Contracting Officer, of the corrective action(s) taken in accordance with methods and techniques specified by the Contractor in its quality control plan.

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes re-inspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price.

(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

(1) Obtain all warranties that would be given in normal commercial practice;

(2) Require all warranties to be executed, in writing, for the benefit of the Government, if directed by the Contracting Officer; and

(3) Enforce all warranties for the benefit of the Government, if directed by the Contracting Officer.

(h) In the event the Contractor’s warranty under paragraph (b) of this clause has expired, the Government may bring suit at its expense to enforce a subcontractor’s, manufacturer’s, or supplier’s warranty.
