The roster shall indicate which individuals are U.S. citizens and which are resident aliens (immigrants). Due to limited availability of Government personnel, Contractors shall not be permitted to employ non-resident/non-immigrant aliens as part of the Contractor’s on-site workforce. All non-resident/non-immigrant aliens must have approval prior to being permitted access to TYAD. Such approval must be obtained by requesting access through the following: apply at the alien-resident’s embassy; proceed to the U.S. Embassy; proceed to the Department of the Army; proceed to Army Materiel Command; proceed to U.S. Communications- Electronics Command (CECOM); proceed to TYAD. All non-resident/non-immigrant aliens granted access to TYAD or assigned duty location are required to be escorted by Government personnel. One Government escort can accommodate a maximum of two non-resident/non-immigrant aliens. Due to limited availability of Government personnel, visitors requiring escort may not be permitted access, or access may be limited to a certain time and duration. The following documentation shall accompany the roster for each individual named on the roster as a resident alien (immigrant): a) a copy of a verifiable form of identification, such as a driver’s license or a passport; and b) a copy of a valid Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card (“Green Card”).

8.3 Remedies for unacceptability are: at the Contracting Officers discretion the contractor shall arrange for repair by another qualified source at the contractors expense.

8.4 If unacceptable performance occurs, the COR shall inform the contractor. This will normally be in writing unless circumstances necessitate verbal communication.

8.5 When the COR determines formal written communication is required, the COR shall prepare a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR), and present it to the contractor's task manager or on-site representative. A CDR template is attached to this QASP.

8.6 The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the CDR in writing. The CDR will specify if the contractor is required to prepare a corrective action plan to document how the contractor shall correct the unacceptable performance and avoid a recurrence. The CDR will state how long after receipt the contractor has to present this corrective action plan to the COR. The Government will review the contractor's corrective action plan to determine acceptability.

8.7 CDRs become a part of the supporting documentation for remedies under the contract if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer.
