Contractor management will ensure that employees properly comply with the performance work standards outlined in the statement of work. Contractor employees will perform their duties independent of, and without the supervision of, any Government official or other Defense Contractor. The tasks, duties, and responsibilities set forth in the task order may not be interpreted or implemented in any manner that results in any contractor employee creating or modifying Federal policy, obligating the appropriated funds of the United States Government, overseeing the work of Federal employees, providing direct personal services to any Federal employee, or otherwise violating the prohibitions set forth in Parts 7.5 and 37.1 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The Government will control access to the facility and will conduct the inspection and acceptance of the completed work

7.1.16 The Contractor shall ensure performance of services will meet or exceeded and contractor staff meet the knowledge, skills, abilities, certifications, and experience required in the PWS. No substitution of personnel shall be made except in accordance with the information specified herein.

The Contractor agrees that during the delivery order performance period no personnel substitutions will be permitted unless such substitutions are necessitated by an individual's sudden illness, death or termination of employment. In any of these events, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and provide the information required by the following paragraphs.

If the personnel, for whatever reason, become unavailable for work under the delivery order for a continuous period exceeding 30 working days, or are expected to devote substantially less effort to the work than indicated in the proposal, the Contractor shall propose a substitution of such personnel. All proposed substitutions shall be submitted, in writing, to the Contracting Officer and COR at least 15 days prior to the need for a substitute. Each request shall provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitution and their knowledge, skills, abilities, certifications, and experience for the proposed substitute and any other n required by the Contracting Officer to approve or disapprove the proposed substitution. All proposed substitutes shall have informatio qualifications that are equal to or higher than the qualifications of the person being replaced.

The Contracting Officer shall evaluate the requests for substitution and promptly notify the Contractor, in writing, of whether the request is approved or disapproved. If the Contracting Officer determines that suitable and timely replacement of personnel who have been reassigned, terminated or have otherwise become unavailable to perform under this delivery order is not reasonably forthcoming or that the resultant reduction of productive effort would impair the successful completion of the contract, the contract may be terminated by the Contracting Officer for cause or for the convenience of the Government, as appropriate. Alternatively, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, if the Contracting Officer finds the Contractor to be at fault for the condition, he may equitably adjust (downward) the contract price to compensate the Government for any delay, loss or damage because of the Contractor's action.

8.0 Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). The Government will appoint personnel, known as Contracting Officer Representatives (COR), to monitor performance to ensure services are received and performed in a satisfactory manner. The COR will evaluate the contractor's performance in accordance with the statement of work to ensure acceptable quality levels (AQL) of the performance standard are met. The COR information is provided below.

8.1 Role of Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for Inspection, Acceptance, and Other Duties.

8.3.5.2 Certification of invoices in accordance with the payment terms of the contract to include validation of each line item on each invoice.

9.0 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan.

9.1 Purpose. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to provide the standard of surveillance for monitoring contractor performance in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. The Contracting Officer (KO) will be appointed at the time of award and COR contact information will be provided. The COR will also serve as the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) and will use this QASP to ensure the standards of the contract are being met. The COR /QAE will be referred to as the COR throughout this QASP.

9.2 Performance Standards. The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the service the Contractor is required to furnish. The COR will assess the Contractor's performance to ensure the Contractor is performing up to the specified standards. The standards for this Performance Work Statement (PWS) are stated in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) included in this QASP. The standards for this procurement are subjective since specific metric-driven standards are not appropriate.

9.3 Management and Oversight. The QASP is based on the premise that the Contractor and not the Government, is responsible for the management and any Quality Control action required to meet the terms of the contract. The Level of Effort requirements recognize that the Contractor is not a perfect manager and that unforeseen requirements and uncontrollable problems do occur. Good management and use of an adequate Quality Control Plan will allow the Contractor to operate within specific performance requirements. QASPs are designed to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating Contractor performance against the provided standards.

9.4 Acceptable Quality Levels (AQL). AQLs have been established in the Level of Effort Requirements Summary and provide performance standards that the Contractor will meet in performing the contract. If the Contractor meets the required AQL, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed upon in the contract. In the event the Contractor does not meet the established AQLs, the KO has the right to exercise the negative incentives stated in this QASP.

9.5 Primary Method of Surveillance/Evaluation. The COR will evaluate the contractor's performance using one or more of the following surveillance methods:

Observation/Random Monitoring: Observation/Random monitoring of staffing levels and personnel qualifications by the COR.

Random Inspection: Random inspection of maintenance actions/inspection documentation developed via Work Order (WO) Optimized Organization Maintenance Activity (OOMA).

9.6 Substandard Performance. If any of the performance requirements do not meet the AQLs set in the PRS table, the COR shall document the discrepancy(s) and shall notify the Contracting Officer promptly. The Contracting Officer will then take the appropriate action with the Contractor to remedy the substandard performance. When the performance is below the AQL standard, the Government may implement increased surveillance, document poor history ratings, or begin termination for default procedures.

9.7 Notification. The COR will notify the KO, in writing, of unacceptable quality levels. The KO will promptly provide written notification of discrepancies monthly, or immediately if the situation significantly affects the well-being of the project.

The Contractor will be given the opportunity to respond, in writing, to each discrepancy.

9.8 Response. The Contractor shall provide a written response to the cause and the corrective action to prevent recurrence within ten (10) working days after receipt of the KO's notification. The Contractor should cite specific quality assurance program procedures or new procedures instituted to prevent recurrence.

9.9 Records. The COR will maintain contract surveillance files as directed by the KO. Surveillance files will include, as a minimum, the following documentation for this Firm-Fixed Priced contract:

9.9.1 COR designation and appointment letters.

9.9.2 A copy of the contract and all contract modifications.

9.9.3 QASP, Quality Control Plan, and any other monitoring tools, checklists, etc.

9.9.4 All correspondence including KO notifications and the Contractor's responses.

9.9.5 Contractor monthly status reports.

9.9.6 Copies of certified invoices tracked against each contract line item.

9.10 The following criteria will be used for performance evaluations: Exceptional, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Ratings.

Unsatisfactory. Upward or downward arrows may be used to indicate an improving or worsening trend insufficient to change the assessment status.

9.10.1 Exceptional. Indicates performance clearly exceeds contractual requirements. The area of evaluation may contain a few minor problems for which corrective action appears highly effective.

9.10.2 Satisfactory. Indicating performance clearly meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains some minor problems for which the corrective actions appear satisfactory.

9.10.3 Marginal. Indicates performance meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which corrective actions have not yet been identified, appear only marginally effective, or have not been fully implemented.

9.10.4 Unsatisfactory. Indicates the contractor is in danger of not being able to satisfy contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which the corrective actions appear ineffective.

9.11 Documentation. Documentation used and referenced to performance surveillance will consist of monthly reports, contractor plans and procedures, schedules, customer feedback and contract data requirements.

9.11.1 Recording Observations. The COR shall use Surveillance Logs to record information on scheduled observations and deficiencies noted. Each observation is recorded on the log. The documents then become a formal record for reference. The contractor is to be told each time that a deficiency is found during scheduled observations. The COR makes a notation on the Surveillance Log of the date and time the deficiency was discovered, then, the COR asks a contractor site manager to initial the notation, documenting notification of the deficiency only.

9.11.2 Potential Unacceptable Performance. The COR must identify the specific service that is unacceptable and the possible causes, and ask several questions which, if answered, will probably pinpoint the source of the problem.

9.11.3 Documenting Unacceptable Performance. The COR must attempt to resolve the problem with the contractor. The original log and the attempted solution (along with an evaluation of results) are forwarded to the Contracting Officer through the COR.

Based on the severity of the discrepancy and the success of the solution, the COR will notify the KO. The contractor shall complete a response to the unacceptable evaluation if requested by the KO or by its own choice.

9.12 Taking Action.

9.12.1 The COR may evaluate the contractor's performance and document any non-compliance, but only the KO may act against the contractor for an unacceptable rating. When the contractor's performance is unacceptable and a formal action is indicated, the COR will determine what action is appropriate for the specific circumstances and make a recommendation to the Contracting Officer.

9.13 The COR retains a copy of all inspection schedules and surveillance activity logs during the Documentation.

course of the contract and forwards them for inclusion in the contract file at the end of the surveillance period.

However, when a specific service becomes unsatisfactory during a surveillance period, the inspection documentation supporting the contract discrepancy report is forwarded to the Contracting Officer.

9.14 The performance standards for this PWS are stated in the PRS Performance Requirements Summary (PRS).
