8 Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan Contractor Quality Assurance: The contractor, and not the government, is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. The role of the government is quality assurance to ensure contract standards are achieved. In this contract the quality control program is the driver for product quality. The contractor shall develop a comprehensive program of surveillances and monitoring actions. The first major step to ensuring a “self-correcting” contract is to ensure that the quality control program approved at the beginning of the contract provides the measures needed to lead the contractor to success.

Once the quality control program is approved, careful application of the process and standards presented in the remainder of this document will ensure a robust quality assurance program. The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract for those tasks listed on the Performance Work Statement in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan. The COR will follow the methods of surveillance specified in the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), generally periodic inspection will be employed. The COR will record and retain all COR inspections.
