The Government plan defines the criteria of how the Contractor’s performance will be evaluated, the frequency of surveillance, and the items to be inspected. Although the Government will develop a QASP, Government surveillance of Contractor performance is not limited to the QASP, or the performance objectives, outlined in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS).

The Contractor's QCP shall include a separate section, which addresses the Contractor's method of managing quality of work. The QCP shall include a description of the inspection system to address services listed in this PWS, and a description of the methods to be used for identifying and preventing defects in the quality of services performed. The plan shall include a description of the Contractor’s inspection system to include specifics as to areas to be inspected on a scheduled and unscheduled basis, frequency of inspections, and the title and organizational placement of the Contractor’s inspectors.
