QASP - Perimeter Fence.doc

Contracting Officers Representative (COR) Quality Assurance Plan

3/14/2023

Contracting Officers Representative (COR) Quality Assurance Plan

1 Purpose

This Contracting Officers Representative (COR) Quality Assurance Plan is a government-developed document used to determine if the contractor's performance meets the performance standards contained in the contract. This QA Plan establishes procedures on how this assessment/inspection process will be conducted. It provides the detailed process for a continuous oversight process:

What will be monitored

How monitoring will take place

Who will be conduct the monitoring

How monitoring efforts and results will be documented

The contractor is responsible for implementing and delivering performance that meets contract standards using its Quality Control Plan. The QA Plan provides the structure for the government's surveillance of the contractor's performance to assure that it meets contract standards. It is the government's responsibility to be objective, fair and consistent in evaluating contractor performance.

The QA Plan is not part of the contract, nor is it intended to duplicate the contractor's quality control plan. This QA Plan is a living document. Flexibility in the QA Plan is required to allow for an increase or decrease in the level of surveillance necessary based on contractor performance.

The government may provide a copy of the QA Plan to the contractor to facilitate open communication. In addition, the QA Plan should recognize that unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances might occur that are outside the control of the contractor.

Bottom line, the QA Plan should ensure early identification and resolution of performance issues to minimize impact on mission performance.

2 Authority

Authority for issuance of this QA Plan is provided under Part 46 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, Inspection of Services clauses, which provide for inspection, acceptance and documentation of the service called for in the contract or order. This acceptance is to be executed by the contracting officer or a duly authorized representative.

3 Roles and Responsibilities

The following personnel shall oversee and coordinate surveillance activities.

3.1 Project Manager

The Project Manager (PM) provides primary program oversight for the government for this project. While the PM may serve as a direct conduit to provide Government guidance and feedback to the Contractor on technical matters, they are not empowered to make any contractual commitments or any contract changes on the government's behalf.

The purpose is to ensure that the contractor meets the performance standards contained in the contract. The COR is responsible for reporting early identification of performance problems to the CO. The COR is required to provide an annual performance assessment to the CO which will be used in documenting past performance. The QA Plan is the primary tool for documenting contractor performance.

4 Performance Requirements and Method of Surveillance

This section describes the special requirements for this effort. The following sub-sections provide details of various considerations on this effort.

4.1 Contract Surveillance

The goal of the QA Plan is to ensure that contractor performance is effectively monitored and documented. The COR's contribution is their professional, non-adversarial relationships with the CO, PM and the contractor, which enables positive, open and timely communications. The foundation of this relationship is built upon objective, fair, and consistent COR evaluations of contractor performance against contract requirements. The COR uses the methods contained in this QA Plan to ensure the contractor is in compliance with contract requirements. The COR function is responsible for a wide range of surveillance requirements that effectively measure and evaluate the contractor's performance. Additionally, this QA Plan is based on the premise that the contractor, not the government, is responsible for management and QC/QA actions to successfully meet the terms of the contract.

4.2 Surveillance Matrix

The Surveillance Matrix (Attachment 1) is the list of performance objectives and standards that must be performed by the contractor. This matrix details the method of surveillance the COR will use to validate and inspect these performance elements. Inspection of each element will be documented in the COR file.

Performance objectives define the desired outcomes. Performance Standards define the level of service required under the contract to successfully meet the performance objective. The inspection methodology defines how, when, and what will be assessed in measuring performance. The Government performs surveillance, using this QA Plan, to determine the quality of the contractor's performance as it relates to the performance element standards. The PRS should be used to form the foundation of the COR's inspection checklist.

In evaluating the quality of contractor’s performance, the following performance ratings may be used.

Performance

Rating

Criteria

Excellent / Outstanding

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.

Very Good

Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was effective.

Satisfactory

Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Marginal

Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

Unsatisfactory

Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.
