1.6.2.1 Non-conforming Services: Corrective Action Requests (CARs) (formerly Nonconformance Reports) are used for managing contractual nonconformances on Army Contracting Command (ACC) administered contracts. Nonconformance occurs when a contractor fails to meet contract or task order terms, conditions and/or specifications. The COR will notify the contractor each time an unacceptable observation has been recorded and ask the contractor to correct the problem or re-accomplish the service. Resolution of nonconformance discovered at the subcontractor level shall be addressed with the prime contractor. CARs are issued, overseen and closed IAW ACC Acquisition Instruction (AI) and FAR subpart 46.407 nonconforming supplies or services.

1.6.2.1.1 Level I: A Level I CAR describes a deficiency on a product or service and is not a systemic breakdown of a process or system. It includes those nonconformances that are minor in nature and can be promptly corrected by the contractor, present no need for root cause analysis, no determination if other contract requirements are affected, present no need for further preventive action, and do not materially reduce the usability of the supplies, services, construction, or deliverables. While the Government must document the nonconformance and the contractor must correct the nonconformance, further actions and Government follow-up are not required, and no written response from the contractor is needed. Level I CARs are considered closed immediately upon issuance.

1.6.2.1.2 Level II: A Level II CAR describes deficiencies in a contractor’s processes or systems but are not significant deficiencies. Level II CARs shall require the contractor to correct the nonconformance, perform root cause, and develop and provide a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) acceptable to the government. Some examples of systems affected may be quality inspection/management systems, and Contractor Business Systems (CBS) identified in DFARS 242.70, or issues such as:

· Multiple deficiencies on products or services indicating a systemic issue throughout the process, or,

· An escalation of repetitive Level I CARs for the same or similar nonconformance demonstrating the contractor is failing to institute effective corrective action and/or failing to implement effective quality and/or internal control(s).

1.6.2.1.3 Level III: A Level III CAR describes deficiencies in a contractor’s system that is affecting a contract’s or program’s ability to meet cost, schedule or performance requirements, or are:

· A significant deficiency pursuant to DFARS 252.242-7005(b), “Contractor Business Systems” (CBS), or,

· A failure to respond to Level II CARs, or to remedy a recurring nonconformance.

· The contractor shall be required to provide a CAP that is acceptable to the government.

NOTE: If not resolved satisfactorily, a Level III CAR may result in the initiation of available contractual remedies, such as reductions of payments, cost disallowances, revocation of government assumption of risk of loss, or business management system disapprovals, etc.

1.6.2.1.4 Level IV: A Level IV CAR documents a critical nonconformance of such serious nature that is issued to the contractor’s business segment or corporate management for their attention to both the nonconforming condition and the company’s corrective action, or when a Level III CAR has been ineffective. A Level IV CAR will result in a mandatory review of available contractual remedies, such as cost disallowance, reduction or suspension of payments, revocation of government assumption of risk of loss, CBS disapproval, or suspension of all product and service acceptance activities. Contractual remedies will be implemented IAW applicable FAR/DFARS clauses and/or ACC Acquisition Instructions if applicable. Action to suspend product or service acceptance will be accomplished via a Level IV CAR. The contractor shall be required to provide a CAP that is acceptable to the government.

Overarching CAR Process Flow. The following outlines the normal process flow for the corrective action process. Follow the steps provided within the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP) CAR Module User Guide.
