The plan should address the interaction and coordination efforts that will occur between the Contractor and Government personnel involved in Quality Assurance. The plan will be in sufficient detail to indicate to the Government that the Contractor is cognizant of the contract requirements. The plan should show the duties of the QC person and to whom this person reports deficiencies to. In no case shall the QC person be responsible for collateral duties that will interfere with the daily inspection routine. The QC person may not at any time be responsible for the project when the Project Manager is sick or otherwise not on site. A matrix should be provided showing the responsibility of each supervisor and how the QC person will relate deficiencies up the chain of command. In addition to the above, the plan should address the following areas of concern:

a. Indoctrination and training of personnel, to assure employees are knowledgeable of their work assignments and regulations or guidelines pertaining to their assignments such as fire reporting, safety, erosion of embankments, etc.

b. Employee performance and evaluation.

c. Identification of declines in quality of product and how substandard performance and deficiencies will be corrected.

d. Employee health and hygiene.

e. Security of facilities and equipment (including key control).

f. Maintenance of facilities and equipment.

g. Proper reporting of maintenance needs by Contractor employees.

The Contractor shall respond as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after notification to repair such work items, unless otherwise approved by the COR. Failure to respond within these guidelines without acceptable justification may be counted against the Contractor as evidence of unsatisfactory performance in evaluation for award fees.

QC Inspections shall include subcontractor performance, inventory control, and procurement of supplies. Government QA inspectors will assure that the CQC plan is being implemented and is effective, but the presence or absence of a Government inspector shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the proper execution of work in accordance with the specifications.

Compliance inspections shall be documented and records of deficiencies observed and corrective actions taken shall be furnished to the Government. If recurrent deficiencies indicate that the quality control system is inadequate, corrective action will be taken as directed by the COR. The COR must approve any proposed changes to the plan prior to their implementation.

TP-1.19.3 Inventory Management and Property Control: The Contractor shall submit Contractor’s recommendation for Government Furnished Property (GFP) stock items and levels for approval of the COR.

The plan shall contain provisions to protect, preserve, account for, and control all GFP from its acquisition to disposition. The following will be documented in FEM:

The name, description, and NSN/NCN Quantity received (or fabricated), issued, and on hand Unit price Contract number or equivalent code designation Location Disposition Posting reference and date of transaction Bar Code Serial Number (if applicable) Manufacturer Summary price for all property

The plan will be forwarded to the Property Administrator (PA) for approval. If for any reason the plan is disapproved, the PA will notify the Contractor in writing, requesting prompt correction of deficiencies. If the Contractor does not correct the deficiencies within a reasonable period, the PA will:

1. Notify the Contractor in writing of any required corrections and establish a schedule for completion of actions.

2. Caution the Contractor that failure to take the required corrective actions within the time specified will result in withholding or withdrawing plan approval.

3. Advise the Contractor that its liability for loss of or damage to Government property will increase if approval is withheld or withdrawn.

All property furnished to the Contractor will be controlled by means of the established inventory list. This inventory list will be maintained by the Contractor and will be in FEM. It will include all property which is currently in use by the Contractor and any additional property items procured throughout the life of the contract and assigned to the Contractor. The purchase of new accountable-property items will require approval of the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor will designate, in writing, a Contractor Property Officer (CPO), who will be responsible for maintaining accountability and record keeping. This individual will be a management official and may be assigned other duties by the Contractor.

An interim inventory management and property control system may be utilized by the Contractor with the approval of the COR. This interim system will only be utilized until the proper training and credentials for use of the FEM system are accomplished by the Contractor.

Excess/Disposal/Returns: All property returned by the Contractor to the Government, for whatever reason, will be accompanied with the property records. The CPO will notify the COR when serviceable GFP equipment is not needed to perform the work and otherwise will remain inactive.
