1. Overview.

1.0 Purpose. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government developed document used to ensure that the Government receives quality services and pays only for conforming services actually provided. The objective of this effort under a Full and Open type C Contract is as defined in paragraph 5, Specific Tasks, of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Government- furnished property and services for those items specified in the PWS are exempt from this QASP. The Contractor shall perform to the standards specified in the PWS. The objective of this effort under a Full and Open type C Contract is to provide effective Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) response specific collective training, planning, evaluation, and validation exercise support services.

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) identifies the methods and procedures the Government will use to ensure it receives the services to the desired standard, as identified in the PWS.

1.1 Intent. The intent of this QASP is to:

1) Ensure Contractor performance meets or exceeds contract terms, conditions and specifications

2) Hold the Contractor accountable for quality control

3) Encourage the Contractor to take appropriate steps to control and improve quality

4) Ensure all sections of FAR 46 are applied as required and applicable

Accordingly, the Government will perform surveillance on the contract in accordance with this QASP but reserves the right to monitor the contract in any manner necessary, at any time necessary, and at all places necessary to ensure that the services rendered conform to contract requirements. The Government also reserves the right to perform quality assurance at the Subcontractor level, and at the contractor's place of business.

Sub-contract service providers shall be accountable to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. Resolution of non-conforming services discovered at the Subcontractor level will be addressed with the prime Contractor. The Government will not exercise any supervisory controls over the contract service providers performing the services herein.

2. Description of Services.

2.1. Scope of Work. The Contractor shall assist the U.S. Army North (USARNORTH) Civilian Support Training Activity (CSTA) mobile Observer Controller/Trainer (OC/T) teams in the planning, preparation and execution of CBRN training.

2.2. Type of Contract. This will be FFP and Cost type CLINs on a full and open type C contract.

3. Roles and Responsibilities. The following provides a synopsis for the roles and their respective authority during the performance of the contract:

3.1. Government.

3.1.1. Contracting Officer (KO). The KO is the only person authorized to direct changes in any of the requirements under this contract. In the event the Contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the KO, the change will be considered to have been made without authority, and solely at the risk of the Contractor. No changes in, or deviation from the terms and conditions shall be affected, without a written modification to the contract, executed by the KO authorizing such changes.

Assigned PCO/KO: Phil Davis Organization or Agency: Army Contracting Command (ACC)-Orlando

(407) 384-5335, DSN 970-5335

phillip.b.davis16.civ@army.mil

3.1.2. Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The COR will monitor all technical and performance aspects of the contract, and assist the (KO) in contract administration. The COR is authorized to perform the following functions:

Assure that the Contractor performs the technical requirements of the contract Perform inspections necessary in connection with contract performance Maintain written and oral communications with the Contractor concerning technical and performance aspects of the contract Issue written interpretations of technical requirements, including Government drawings, designs, and specifications Monitor Contractor's performance and documents and notifies both the

Contracting Officer and Contractor of all deficiencies Coordinate availability of Government furnished property Provide site entry of Contractor

ACC doesn’t use other acronyms to refer to and describe a COR. Terms such as the “COTR, “Onsite COR”, “TM”, etc. will not be used. Some personnel may be assigned as Alternate CORs, but other than a statement to that effect and what actions the KO expects that ACOR to take in the absence of the primary COR, there is no difference between a COR an Alternate COR, or other government surveillance personnel assigned to conduct contract oversight. Throughout the remainder of this QASP, The term “COR’ will be used to refer to all government surveillance personnel assigned to monitor the contractor’s performance on this contract.

A letter of designation issued to the COR, a copy of which is sent to the Contractor, states the responsibilities and limitations of the COR, especially with regard to changes in cost, price, or delivery dates. The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting order.

The Contracting Officer shall use the DoD Joint Appointment Module (JAM) to electronically track COR nominations, appointments, terminations, and training certifications for each COR appointed to conduct oversight on this contract. The COR will upload their surveillance documents, such as COR Status Reports (CSR) COR trip reports, correspondence with the contractor, and other miscellaneous documents into the Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module within the online contract file. JAM and SPM are available within the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) suite of tools at: https://piee.eb.mil/.

4. Contract Quality Requirements.

4.1. Contractor’s Quality Control Plan/Program (QCP). The Government will evaluate the adequacy of the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan (QCP) performance under this contract in accordance with this QASP. The Contractor’s quality control program is the means by which he assures himself that all work complies with the requirement of the contract PWS. It is essential that Government Surveillance Personnel understand that Quality Control (QC) is the responsibility of the contractor, and not the government.

As such, the government will focus their efforts on validating if the contractor is maintaining an adequate quality control inspection systems that ensures the contractor maintains evidence that services provided conform to contract quality requirements. The Contractor shall provide inspection data to the Government on request for validation.

The Contractor’s QCP shall include a process that can identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services.

4.2. Government Quality Assurance. This QASP describes what the Government will do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accordance with the performance standards within the PWS.

This QASP describes:

• How the performance standards will be applied:

o The Performance Standard for each requirement in the PWS will be applied as prescribed in the PWS. Ensure that each Performance requirement within the PWS includes a Measurable performance standard in terms of quality, timeliness, or quantity.

o Ensure the method of assessing contractor performance against performance standards is included in this QASP o Ensure each Performance Requirement includes an acceptable quality limit (AQL). AQL is the worst tolerable performance that is still considered acceptable.

• When the surveillance will be scheduled (Surveillance Schedule, attachment 3) o Selected items for each month will be placed on the Surveillance Checklist and scheduled surveillance on the Monthly Schedule. Surveillance may be scheduled on a daily, weekly or monthly frequency. However, each contractor requirement must be audited for compliance prior to invoice payment being made.

• Which performance elements will be surveilled (Surveillance Checklist, attachment 4) o All performance activities will be surveilled through-out the Period of

Performance, using a risk based approach. The selected items will be populated on the Monthly Checklist and placed on the Surveillance Schedule for each period surveilled. The monthly checklist that the COR will be using is a Monthly Technical Oversight Representative (TOR) report. Attachment 4 is an example of one of these reports.

• The Acceptable Quality Limit (AQL) o The AQL will be determined by the Requiring Activity, i.e., the COR.

• The nature of Government contract quality assurance actions that include the number of observations made and the number and type of defects (defect rate) o Personnel conducting contractor performance surveillance will use attachment

4, Surveillance Checklist, or equivalent to answer the Performance question asked, and provide comments in the area provided on the checklist. These comments and metrics from the Checklist will be included on each CSR submitted during the Period of Performance. The monthly checklist that the COR will be using is a Monthly Technical Oversight Representative (TOR) report. Attachment 4 is an example of one of these reports

5. Government Surveillance.

5.1. Methods of Surveillance. The following Methods of Surveillance may be utilized in monitoring the Contractors’ performance:

• 100% Inspection will be reserved for the highest risk areas where consequence of failure may affect life or limb, or there is likelihood of mission failure

NOTE: The performance items selected for surveillance in this QASP as a minimum should contain those listed in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). The PRS is a stand-alone document that illustrates to the contractor the few, most salient items the government wishes the contractor to be aware of. The PRS is contained in the contract Performance Work Statement (PWS). See Attachment 1 for PRS items.

• Random Sampling Will be used when a service is performed on a frequent basis and a statistically valid sample can be selected for audit. This is most appropriate method for frequently recurring tasks. Random monitoring shall be conducted if and when deemed necessary by the PCO or TO COR. The random monitoring shall be performed by the PCO, appropriate designated TO COR, or designated TOR. Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) (Appendix 1) may be used for random monitoring. The COR will input these random reports to “COR Documents,” “Add Smart Form,” “Surveillance Schedule” (see screen shot below) in the Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) Module, Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) application.

• Periodic Inspection Will be used when planned sampling of a service is at a specific predetermined date and time. This is most appropriate for tasks that occur infrequently, yet on a scheduled basis. This level of inspection shall be accomplished by monitoring and documentation. Government Technical Oversight Representatives (TOR), normally located at the place of contractor work performance, will provide monthly TOR reports to the COR. These reports evaluate the contractor’s work performance for the training requirements articulated in the PWS. The monthly TOR reports will be uploaded by the COR as attachments in the “COR Documents” Smart Form “COR Status Report” in the Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) Module, Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) application. The Surveillance Schedules for the monthly TOR reports (Attachment 4) are uploaded to “COR Documents,” “Add Documents.”

• Customer Feedback. Not a valid method of surveillance, but a good indicator of areas where surveillance should be conducted or intensified.

The Customer Complaint Record, Attachment 2, will be placed at convenient locations for the end user of these services, and made available to document/record all complaints. The COR will collect the Customer Complaints each surveillance cycle and investigate for validity ASAP.

The following procedures will be followed when a complaint is received.

1. The COR will investigate to determine the validity of the complaint

2. If the complaint is determined to be invalid, the COR will inform the person who submitted the complaint of the reason(s) as soon as practical

3. For validated complaints that are true contractual non-conformances, the procedures in paragraph 6 below will be applied

4. A Customer Complaint Log will be used to document each validated customer complaint and attached to the COR Monthly Surveillance Report in the SPM module

5.1.1. Surveillance Procedure: The COR will perform an analysis of Customer feedback and the contractor’s actions to identify performance trends and to ensure valid customer concerns are resolved in a timely manner.

• The COR will review monthly Technical Oversight Representative (TOR) reports, if any negative trends are identified the COR will follow up with the contractor. These reports are due on the 5th of the month following the month of contractor work performance.

• These TOR reports will be signed by the COR, verifying review and concurrence with the validity of the information, and will be included with the COR monthly report in the Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module.

USE OF TECHNICAL OVERSIGHT REPRESENTATIVES (TOR) – THEIR

ROLE IN SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES

TOR DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

• Reports: Functional Area Reports supporting the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan consist of immediate impact and monthly status reporting as outlined below.

• Impact Reporting: Government TORs observing any situation or occurrence which poses a significant program impact will be reported to the COR using the most expeditious manner available. Unacceptable performance or quality of service for requirements specified in the PRS should be documented using the Surveillance Activity Checklist and Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR) immediately provided to the COR for validation and disposition.

• Monthly Status Report: A Monthly Technical Oversight Representative (TOR) report will be provided to the COR NLT the 5th day of the month following the month of contractor work performance.

5.2. Surveillance Schedule. (Required) A Surveillance Schedule (Attachment 3) will be created each month. Locally generated equivalent is acceptable. The schedule is “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” and is not releasable to anyone other than authorized Government personnel. Each Month’s Surveillance Schedule will be completed at the beginning of each base or option year during the Period of Performance (PoP) to schedule surveillance activity for the upcoming months. Completed Surveillance Schedules will be filed in the online Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module located within (https://piee.eb.mil) file for this contract, either as an attachment to COR Status Report (CSR) Smart Form or uploaded separately in the Miscellaneous Documents Section.

5.3. Surveillance Checklists. (Required) A Surveillance Checklist (Attachment 4) will be created each month. Locally generated equivalent is acceptable. The Checklist is “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” and is not releasable to anyone other than authorized Government personnel. Each Month’s Surveillance Checklist will be completed with the Surveillance Schedule. Completed Surveillance Checklist will be filed in the online Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module located within (https://piee.eb.mil) file for this contract, either as an attachment to COR Status Report (CSR) or uploaded separately in the Miscellaneous Documents Section.

5.4. Surveillance Documentation. All months of Completed Surveillance Documentation, to include the COR Status Report must be filed in the online Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module located within (https://piee.eb.mil) file for this contract. The COR Status Report (Smart Form) must be utilized, supporting documentation can be uploaded as an attachment.

6. Non-Conforming Performance. A Non-conformance occurs when the Contractor fails to meet the terms, conditions and/or specifications of the Contract/Task Order. All instances of non-conformance must be documented by the COR. The COR will provide the details of the non-conformance using the Contractor Nonconformance Report (CNR), Attachment 5 to the KO, who will notify the Contractor of each nonconformance occurrence, unless the KO has authorized the COR to submit directly to the contractor, and copy the KO. Resolution of any non-conformance discovered at the Subcontractor level will be addressed with the prime Contractor. Non-conformances are classified as either: Level I (Minor); Level II (Major); or Level III (Critical).

6.1. Level I (Minor). Level I non-conformance is not likely to materially reduce the usability of services for their intended purpose or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on completing the contract requirement. Minor non-conformances can usually be corrected on the spot and can be issued to the Contractor through either a verbal or written Contractor Nonconformance Report (CNR). However, the Government is required to document verbal Level I CNRs. The COR may issue verbal Level I CNRs directly to the appropriate level of Contractor management. The COR will notify the KO as soon as practical when a verbal Level I CNR is issued and document them in their Monthly Reports. If the non-conformance cannot be corrected on the spot, the Contractor shall be given a suspense date to correct the deficiency.

The KO will issue and sign written Level I CNRs, Attachment 5.

6.2. Level II (Major). Level II non-conformance is likely to result in failure of the services to meet contract requirements. Also, repeated discrepancies, a large number of documented Level I CNRs and trends indicating failure of the Contractor’s quality control program can be classified as Level II CNRs. The KO issues all Level II CNRs in writing, Attachment 5. The COR will notify the KO as soon as practical when a major non-conformance is identified.

6.3. Level III (Critical). Level III non-conformances result in hazardous or unsafe conditions due to the manner in which the services are performed; prevent or impact a vital agency mission as a result of performance; or are for repeated or uncorrected Level II CNRs. The Contracting Office Director or Deputy Director issues written Level III CNRs. The COR is responsible for notifying the KO immediately upon discovery of a critical non-conformance.

Note: Surveillance Schedules and Checklists are considered COR documentation and must be uploaded in the SPM module. Smart forms are available for use at the individual record level under “Add Smart Form”

6.4. Documenting CNRs. The COR will provide the details of the non-conformance using the CNR, Attachment 5. If the Requiring activity prefers to issue a locally developed CNR, documentation must include as a minimum: the Contract or Task Order number; reference to the specific contract requirement; the specific discrepancy to the requirement; where it was discovered; the date and time it was discovered;

Contractor representative who was notified; and the suspense date for Contractor response/corrective action.

6.5. Tracking and Resolving CNRs. All CNRs, verbal and written, regardless of issuer will be included in the COR’s Monthly Report. The COR and KO shall track CNRs to ensure the Contractor identifies and takes appropriate corrective action to the root cause and the specific non-conformance is corrected within the required timeline. The KO will make a final written determination of the Government’s remedies if the non-conformance is not corrected by the Contractor after receiving notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct the work.

7. Deduct Plan. N/A.

8. Data Analysis. Data Analysis will be performed to identify trends in cost, schedule and/or performance risks. The results of Data Analysis will be documented in COR Status Report and may be used to make adjustments to surveillance schedules and/or checklist items to increase or decrease surveillance, based on performance trends.

Negative trends noted using Government data/observations could result in issuing the Contractor Nonconformance Report. Trends noted using Contractor data will not result in a CNR unless the Contractor has not addressed the negative trend. QASP changes based on Data Analysis will be coordinated with the Contracting Officer for approval.

9. Acceptance of Services. When all services have been deemed acceptable and there is documented, objective, quality evidence to support acceptable performance, the COR will accept the services provided and authorize payment to the Contractor.

Acceptance and payment will be made by approving the Contractor’s Receiving Reports in Wide Area Workflow at https://piee.eb.mil/ as an iRAPT Inspector, and/or Acceptor.

10. COR Status Report. COR Status Reports (CSR) will be submitted on a monthly basis to the Contracting Officer via the Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module. CSRs must be uploaded into the Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module using the “Smart Form”. CSRs will be due NLT the 10th day of the month following the month of surveillance. CSRs will provide a synopsis of the Contractors performance for the inclusive dates of the report. The synopsis must contain a summary of surveillances performed, Customer Feedback if any, CNRs if any, an analysis of the Contractors performance, recommended adjustments to surveillance schedules, and any other pertinent contract information IAW FAR 46.104, and the COR Appointment Letter. Completed Surveillance Checklists and CNRs, if any, will be included as attachments to COR Status Reports. See para 5.4.

11. Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA). Reporting Labor Hours.

The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Manpower & Reserve Affairs) operates and maintains a secure Army data collection site where the Contractor shall report all Contractor manpower (including subcontractor manpower) required for performance of this contract.

l. Presence of deployment or contingency contract language; and Number of Contractor and sub-Contractor employees deployed in theater this reporting period (by country).

While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, The COR shall ensure the contractor submits all data no later than October 31 of each calendar year. The COR shall verify that the Contactor has complied with the required contractor manpower reporting annually and document the results in the CORs’ Online Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module, CMRA section. Contracting officers shall ensure that the requirement to report contractor manpower is included in all contracts, task/delivery orders and modifications.

12. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

Documented surveillance data (COR Status Reports, Completed Surveillance Checklists, Customer Feedback and CDRs, if any) will be used to support CPARS ratings. CPARS will be completed in accordance with AFARS, Subpart 5142.15 – Contractor Performance Information.

13. Combating Trafficking In Persons (CTIP). In accordance with PGI 222.17 and FAR 52.222-50, the KO will be notified immediately of any information from any source that alleges a Contractor employee, subcontractor and/or subcontractor employee has engaged in conduct that violates the United States Government “zero” tolerance policy regarding trafficking in persons.

14. COR/Quality Assurance Surveillance Files. The official COR/Quality Assurance Surveillance Files will be maintained in the on-line Joint Appointment Module (JAM) and Surveillance and Performance Monitoring (SPM) module IAW DoDI 5000.72, and
