3.4 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The Government employee appointed by the

Contracting Officer, with limited authorities specific to this contract.

3.5 Quality Assurance (QA). A method used by the Government to provide some measure of control over the quality of purchased services.

4. CONTRACTOR’S QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM

Contractor shall establish a complete Quality Control Program (QCP) for the performance requirements of this contract and shall provide a written copy to the Government no later than 30 days after contract award.

Contractor shall maintain the QCP throughout the contract performance period; and, at any time upon verbal or written request, shall provide a copy to the Government for review. The QCP shall include as a minimum the following:

4.1 A method of identifying deficiencies in the quality of services performed before the level of performance becomes unacceptable. Contractor shall use process control procedures and quality data analysis techniques.

4.2 Corrective action procedures for deficiencies and measures to prevent recurrence. The corrective actions shall address the deficiency and an action to prevent future deficiencies. Additional inspection(s) are not considered a corrective action. The QCP shall be evaluated for adequacy and changed or updated by Contractor as a part of all corrective actions taken by Contractor.

5. GOVERNMENT QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN (QASP)

This plan will be used by the Government to assure that the work specified under this contract is being completed satisfactorily by Contractor, and that a viable QCP is in place. This plan is included as an attachment to the PWS and contract. The QASP will consist of periodic inspections conducted by the COR or QAE.

Payment analysis will be conducted by using the random, planned, 100% sampling methods, or validated complaint. However, the Government has the right to change or modify inspection methods at its discretion.

Management Support Rating Criteria are included in Attachment E.

6. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION MEETINGS

Contractor shall meet with the COR as often as determined necessary by the Government. An effort will be made to resolve any and all problems identified.

7. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Acceptable and unacceptable contract performance will be determined by the COR in accordance with Attachment A – Performance Work Requirements Summary. When Contractor’s performance is considered to be unsatisfactory, a report will be made to the COR to determine the deduction in price to be taken. Contractor shall respond to any complaints and/or ratings of poor performance within 5 calendar days after receipt of the report. The COR will require Contractor to explain, in writing, the cause of the discrepancy, and corrective action to obtain an acceptable level(s), and corrective action to preclude a recurring incidence of the problem.

Contractor will not be paid for that portion of performance determined to be unsatisfactory by the COR.

8. REMEDIAL ACTIONS

8.1 The COR will verbally advise or give a written inspection report to Contractor of discrepancies the first time they occur and ask Contractor to correct the problem. A notation will be made on the COR checklist of the date and time the deficiency was discovered and the date and time Contractor was notified.

8.2 If the Government created any of the discrepancies, these will not be counted against Contractor’s performance. When the Government has caused Contractor to perform in an unsatisfactory manner, the COR will forward a written notice to the responsible organizational element requesting corrective action be taken.

8.3 When Contractor is not meeting the limits of satisfactory performance, a CDR will be issued to Contractor.

The seriousness of the failures should govern whether to issue a CDR at the end of the period, or as soon as the limits of satisfactory performance are exceeded.

8.4 When a CDR is issued for a service, the Contracting Officer must deduct from the periodic payment, a percentage of that payment as indicated in the Performance of Work Requirements Summary, Attachment A.

8.5 If the Contractor does not achieve satisfactory performance by the end of the next period or agreed suspense date, another CDR will be issued and the appropriate amount deducted from the periodic payment in accordance with the disincentive rate listed in the Performance of Work Requirements Summary, Attachment A.

8.6 A third CDR will be the cause for a Cure Notice. However, the Contracting Officer may issue a Cure Notice or Show Cause letter at any time he/she deems appropriate. Depending on the overall performance of Contractor, an unsatisfactory reply to the Cure Notice should require a Show Cause letter to be issued, followed by consideration of termination of the contract.

9. INVOICES AND PAYMENT

9.1 Estimated Quantity Line Items: All Section B Pricing Schedule Line Items with quantities are estimated-quantity Line Items. The quantities are estimated amounts and are not guaranteed amounts.

When the actual quantity of any Line Item reaches 85% of the estimated quantity on any estimated quantity Line Item, the Contractor shall notify the Government’s Contract Specialist and the COR in writing by fax or e-mail within two calendar days. Once the Government is notified that the actual quantity has reached 85% of the estimated quantity on any Line Item and if the Government determines that the estimated quantity needs to be increased, Contractor shall receive an official modification to the contract action signed by the Contracting Officer increasing the quantity and the amount obligated on the contract before Contractor shall proceed to work over the existing estimated quantity.
