Performance Requirements Summary

(The contractor service requirements are summarized into performance objectives that relate directly to mission essential items. The performance threshold briefly describes the minimum acceptable levels of services required for each requirement. These thresholds are critical to mission success. Surveillance should be limited to those tasks critical to successful contractor performance. )

This Performance Requirements Summary includes performance standards. The Government will use these standards to determine contractor performance and shall compare contractor performance to the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL).

PWS Paragraph Task Performance Standard Acceptable

Quality Levels

(AQL)

Surveillanc e Method / By Whom

5.1.3 The contractor

shall perform restorative maintenance within the established timeframes.

The contractor shall perform restorative maintenance within the established timeframes 98% of the time each month.

2% failure to perform restorative maintenance within the established timeframes each month.

Periodic Inspection - COR will review monthly work order logs.

Step 1:

Determine the important task of the contract to be monitored over the course of the performance period, ensure this task is captured in the PWS and reference the specific subparagraph in the PWS where the task can be found.

Step 2: State the specific task to be monitored, as stated in the

PWS.

Step 3: Determine the performance standard for the task (NOTE: Be careful setting the standard of 100% or zero defects. This requires the Government to do 100% inspection as a surveillance method which is administratively burdensome and often unnecessary. This standard should only be used for areas related to security, safety/life support, force protection or other critical issues.)

Step 4: Determine the AQL (or defect rate) for each task to be monitored.

Step 5: Determine how this task will be monitored and by whom. The individual monitoring contractor performance should always be the COR unless otherwise indicated.
