The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accord-ance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is primarily focused on what the Government must do to ensure that the Contractor has performed in accord-ance with the performance standards specified herein. It defines how the performance standards will be applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the minimum acceptable de-fect rates, and the acceptable quality levels (performance thresholds).

1.6 Recognized Holidays

The following provides information on recognized holidays for the purpose of the PWS. If submittal of any documentation (e.g. deliverables, submittals, etc.) deadlines fall on a holi-day, the closest workday prior to the holiday will apply as the deadline for submittal.

1.7 Holidays

1.7.1 US Holidays

Work shall not be performed on U.S. federally recognized holidays occurring during the normal workweek unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer. When a U.S. holi-day occurs on a Saturday or a Sunday, the holiday is observed on the preceding Friday or following Monday, respectively.

New Year’s Day January 1st M. L. King Memorial Day 3rd Monday in January Presidents Day 3rd Monday in February Memorial Day last Monday in May Juneteenth June 19th Independence Day July 4th Labor Day 1st Monday in September Columbus Day 2nd Monday in October Veteran’s Day November 11th

1.7.2 Training Holidays

USAREUR has historically granted military personnel training holidays as compensation for time that they spent in field training. These are typically combined with regular holiday leave schedules (for example, Christmas half days or day on day off schedules). Training holidays may affect access to military operated facilities. If scheduled work or access to fa-cilities is required, coordination with occupants will be necessary or the work in affected fa-cilities shall be rescheduled after the training holiday. However, announced training holi-days or exodus of military personnel may provide the Contractor with an opportunity for un-restricted access to facilities and areas. The Contractor shall take full advantage of such opportunities by planning maintenance or actions that are better accomplished when such areas are vacant.

1.7.3 Host Nation Holidays

Work shall not be performed on local Host Nation holidays occurring during the normal workweek unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer.
