1. Purpose

1.1. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government-developed document used to determine if the Contractor/Service Provider’s (SP) performance meets the performance standards contained in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The QASP 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 conduct the monitoring

How monitoring efforts and results will be documented

1.2. The SP is responsible for implementing and delivering performance that meets contract standards and self-assessing that performance using its Contract Compliance Plan (CCP). The

QASP provides the structure for the Government’s surveillance of the SP’s performance to ensure it meets contract standards. It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair and consistent in evaluating SP performance.

1.3. The QASP is not part of the contract, nor is it intended to duplicate the SP’s CCP. This

QASP is a living document. Flexibility in the QASP is required to allow for an increase or decrease in the level of surveillance necessary based on SP performance. All surveillance documentation as a result of this QASP will be marked, “For Official Use Only”.

1.4. The Government may provide a copy of the QASP to the SP to facilitate open communication. In addition, the QASP should recognize that unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances might occur that are outside the control of the SP.

1.5. The QASP should be a tool to help ensure early identification and resolution of performance issues to minimize impact on mission performance.

2. Authority

2.1. Authority for issuance of this QASP 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

3.1. Government and SP personnel have a part in ensuring the SP performance meets the standards set forth in the PWS and applicable documents. Base/contract specific personnel involved in overseeing and coordinating surveillance activities are identified in Appendix F, but general functions are included below.

3.2. Program/Project Manager (PM) – The PM provides primary program oversight from requirements determination to project termination. The PM reviews the COR’s performance

4 As of June 15, 2015 assessment reports and conducts periodic contract compliance visits to ensure successful SP

PWS performance. The PM may serve as a direct conduit to provide Government guidance and feedback to the COR and SP on technical matters, but the PM is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or any contract changes on the Government’s behalf.

3.3. Contracting Officer (KO) – The KO shall ensure performance of all necessary actions for effective contracting, ensure compliance with the contract terms, and shall safeguard the interests of the United States in the contractual relationship. The KO shall also ensure that the SP receives impartial, fair, and equitable treatment under this contract. The KO shall determine the final assessment of the SP’s performance.

3.4. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) – The COR is responsible for providing continuous technical surveillance of the SP’s performance. The COR uses the QASP to conduct the surveillance process. The COR shall keep a Quality Assurance file that accurately documents the SP’s actual performance. The purpose is to ensure that the SP meets the performance standards contained in the contract. The COR is responsible for reporting early identification of performance problems to the KO. The COR is required to provide an annual performance assessment to the KO which will be used in documenting past performance. The QASP is the primary tool for documenting SP performance. The COR is not empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual change on the Government’s behalf.

3.5. Other Government Personnel - Representatives from the Air Force Petroleum Agency

(AFPET), Major Commands (MAJCOMs), and the base have various roles and responsibilities in their interaction with the SP, COR, and DLA-Energy. AFPET is the primary advisor to DLA-

Energy on AF fuel service contract requirements. MAJCOMs work with AFPET to establish and modify those needs and also conduct inspections of AF base operations and management which may involve the SP directly or indirectly. At the base, there are many stakeholders who are customers of the SP, and there are many offices that support or otherwise interact with the SP and

COR. All of these may provide feedback through reports, customer surveys or complaints, and other methods of communication. However, none of these personnel are empowered to make any contractual commitments or to authorize any contractual change on the Government’s behalf.

3.6. Contractor Representatives – The SP representatives include on-site and corporate managers who are chartered with fulfilling the contract requirements. On-site, the Terminal

Manager (TM)/Terminal Superintendent (TS) and Assistant Terminal Manager/Superintendent

(ATM/ATS) are ultimately responsible for day-to-day SP performance. They use the SP CCP to evaluate their operation on a periodic basis and provide a report to their corporate chain and the

COR. If a Compliance Manager or similar titled position is designated, that individual performs internal inspections on behalf of the TM/TS. Corporate executives, including the Corporate Fuels

Officer (CFO), are the primary points of contact for DLA-Energy KO to discuss any performance change or shortfall.

4. Performance and Surveillance

4.1. Contract Surveillance

4.1.1. The SP, not the Government, is responsible for operations, management, and contract

5 As of June 15, 2015 compliance actions to successfully meet the terms of the contract. The goal of the QASP is to ensure SP performance is effectively monitored and documented.

4.1.2 The COR uses the methods contained in this QASP to assess the SP’s compliance with contract requirements. Also, the COR must maintain a professional, non-adversarial relationships with the KO, PM and the SP, which enables positive, open and timely communications. The foundation of this relationship is built upon objective, fair, and consistent COR evaluations of SP performance against contract requirements. Toward this end, periodic requirements for evaluations are provided, and a standard reporting format is used. Additional spot checks are allowed and recommended to prevent lapses in performance between periodic inspections, enable early identification of discrepancies, and allow for additional focus on problem areas. However, excessive inspection must be avoided, as this can adversely affect the working relationships and ultimately SP and COR effectiveness.

4.2. Service Delivery Summary

4.2.1. The Service Delivery Summary Table (Appendix A) incorporates the major task subareas of the PWS as the basis for evaluation of the SP performance. For each area, the standard of service and threshold/Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) must be performed at least at the minimum level of service required to successfully meet the performance requirement.

4.2.2. The Surveillance Method and Performance Measure show how the COR will accumulate data relating to the specific measures to assess overall SP performance. Inspection methodologies (Appendix B) provide in more detail how, when, and what will be assessed in measuring performance.

4.3. Measuring Performance

4.3.1. Discrepancies in SP performance generally fall into one of the three categories below which are used to differentiate between levels of impact of the shortfall.

4.3.1.1. Critical Nonconformance. IAW FAR 46.101, critical nonconformance means a nonconformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; or is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission. Examples include, but are not limited to:

A. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, or regulations which would have been the proximate cause of or did result in a reportable safety incident, unsafe operation, injury, or accident.

B. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, or regulations which would have been the proximate cause of or did result in a reportable environmental mishap or notice of violation.

C. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, or regulations which would have been the proximate cause of or did result in a security incident or violation.

D. Failure to perform required tasks related to maintaining or failure in maintaining quality of fuel or cryogenics products.

E. Failure to provide and implement appropriate corrective actions for previously documented critical nonconformance within specified time frames.

6 As of June 15, 2015

4.3.1.2. Major Nonconformance. IAW FAR 46.101, major nonconformance means a nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Examples include, but are not limited to:

A. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, or regulations resulting in customer impact.

B. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, or regulations resulting in inventory supply chain failure or impact.

C. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, or regulations resulting in facility, equipment, or vehicle maintenance downtime or unnecessary repair.

D. Failure to meet a safety, environmental, or security Performance Measure not otherwise identified as a critical nonconformance.

E. More than second-time repeat minor nonconformance within 12 month period.

F. Failure to provide and implement appropriate corrective actions for previously documented major nonconformance within specified time-frames.

G. Second-time repeat minor nonconformance discrepancies within 12 month period.

4.3.1.3. Minor Nonconformance. IAW FAR 46.101, minor nonconformance means a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose, or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services. Examples include, but are not limited to:

A. Failure to adhere to policies, procedures, regulations or generally accepted practices or to meet a Performance Measure not otherwise addressed as a critical or major nonconformance.

B. First time repeat minor nonconformance discrepancies within 12 month period.

C. Failure to provide and implement appropriate corrective actions for previously documented minor nonconformance within specified time frames.

4.3.2 Monthly Performance Rating Definitions

4.3.2. 1. In evaluating the quality of SP’s performance, the following overall performance ratings and criteria will be used. The subfactors used for each criterion are specified in the

Performance Requirements table below, Appendix B of the QASP, and in Appendix E of the

PWS.

Performance

Rating

Criteria (Monthly)

Exceptional No critical or major nonconformance; and all AQLs met; and more than one AQL exceeded

Very Good No critical or major nonconformance; and all AQLs met; and at least one AQL exceeded

Satisfactory No critical nonconformance; and no major nonconformance A, B, C, D, E; and no more than one major nonconformance F, G; and all

AQLs met.

7 As of June 15, 2015

Marginal Not more than one critical nonconformance; and not more than one major nonconformance A, B, C, D, E; and no more than two major nonconformances F, G; or not all AQLs met.

Unsatisfactory More than one critical nonconformance or major nonconformance A, B, C, D, E; or more than two major nonconformance F, G; or not all AQLs met with one or more of AQL 1-6 not met

4.3.3 Annual Contractor Performance Assessment Rating (CPAR)

4.3.3. 1. The COR will use the monthly inspections as the basis for providing the annual CPARs assessment of the SP. The below table provides a rationale for the COR’s CPARs ratings which should be justified by the monthly ratings.

Rating

Criteria (Annual)

Exceptional All monthly reports rated Exceptional, Very Good, or Satisfactory with more than half rated Exceptional

Very Good Does not meet the requirement for Exceptional; all monthly reports rated Satisfactory or above with more than half rated Very Good

Satisfactory Does not meet the requirement for Very Good; all monthly reports rated Marginal or above with more than half rated Satisfactory

Marginal Marginal Does not meet the requirement for Satisfactory; all monthly reports rated Marginal or above

Unsatisfactory Does not meet the requirement for Marginal; one or more monthly reports rated Unsatisfactory

4.3.4. Performance Reporting

4.3.4.1. Discrepancies or nonconformance may be identified through a variety of means including periodic or random checks by the COR, outside agency inspections or observations, and stakeholder complaints. Early observation, notification, and correction is vital to ensuring mission support is maintained.

4.3.4.2. The COR will evaluate contractor performance of PWS requirements identified in the

PWS and Appendix 1 below . The CORs will prepare the monthly report as illustrated in Appendix

2 below and provide to the Contracting Specialist/Officer by entry into CORT if available or via email not later than the fifth working day of the following month unless otherwise directed by the

Contracting Specialist/Officer.

4.3.4.2.1. The COR should not wait to document findings from periodic or random inspections in a monthly report but should make every effort to notify the TM/TS and other appropriate personnel as soon as possible to enable prompt, appropriate corrective actions to be taken. Initial verbal notification is acceptable with follow-up email notification to provide minimum documentation and tracking. All nonconformance should be documented on appropriate forms and subsequently included in the COR monthly report.

8 As of June 15, 2015

4.3.4.2.2. Minor nonconformance and subsequent corrective actions to be taken will be documented by the COR in the appropriate performance assessment section of the monthly COR report.

4.3.4.2.3. Critical and Major Nonconformance and subsequent corrective actions to be taken will be documented by the COR on DD Form 2772, Contract Discrepancy Report (Appendix E) and forwarded to the Contracting Officer for approval upon occurrence. No alternate forms may be used. These will subsequently be documented in the appropriate performance assessment section of the monthly COR report.

4.3.4.3. Outside agency inspection findings should be provided to the COR for validation and incorporation in the monthly COR report. Required responses should be developed by the contractor and routed through the COR to the Contracting Officer prior to release to the inspecting agency.

4.3.4.4. As customer service is a primary focus of the contractor performance, customer complaints are taken very seriously. The COR will furnish written instructions and/or customer training to each organization receiving the SP’s service. Any customer who observes unacceptable services, whether poorly, incompletely, or not performed, should immediately contact the COR. If the deficiency requires immediate correction, a phone call may be necessary.

When a complaint is received, the COR validates the complaint by checking the PWS. The COR must evaluate the complaints on a case-by-case basis. If any Government action or lack of action caused unacceptable performance, the complaint is not valid. If the complaint is valid, a Customer

Complaint Record (Appendix D) and DD Form 2772 will be annotated by the COR, and the

Contracting Officer will be notified.

4.3.4.5. For continued nonconformance or lack of implementation by the contractor of corrective action, the COR should continue to document discrepancies as noted above and notify the

Contracting Officer and Service Control Point if the situation warrants for further action.

APPENDIX A

Service Delivery Summary (SDS) Table

A1.1. The Service Delivery Summary Table below incorporates the major task subareas of the

PWS as the basis for evaluation of the SP performance.

A1.2. The threshold/AQL for each requirement performance standard measure is the same as that used for the overall monthly Satisfactory rating: no critical nonconformance; and no major nonconformance A, B, C, D, E; and no more than one major nonconformance F, G. Thus the performance success criteria is more closely dependent on the severity or criticality of nonconformance rather than simply a number of discrepancies.
