E.3 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

The Government will use a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to monitor compliance with contract terms and conditions and identify nonconforming services to determine appropriate action under the Inspection of Services contract clause and if necessary the Termination for Default contract clause. The QASP sets forth the method and manner by which the Government intends to conduct surveillance of work under the contract and is subject to unilateral change by the government without modification to the contract. All work required by the contract is subject to surveillance whether or not specifically included in the QASP.

The Government intends to use a random sampling method of evaluating contractor performance. The EZ-Quant software package will be utilized for the random sampling of work order requests to determine contractor compliance with contract requirements.

If the contractor’s performance fails to achieve the acceptable performance level and is clearly the fault of the contractor, the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) will prepare a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) and forward it, with the QAE log recording the unacceptable performance, to the CO. The seriousness of the situation should govern whether the CDR is provided to the CO as soon as unacceptable performance is indicated or wait until not later than the third workday of the month following the surveillance.
