Critical to the performance of the contract, the contractor shall provide all personnel equipment, tools, materials, supervision, transportation, other items and services necessary to perform as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The contractor shall provide accurate transaction processing to ensure that material accountability comply with safety and security requirements, in accordance with this PWS. Additionally, the contractor shall be accountable for all auditable documents, establish/maintain effective quality, and perform required within prescribed timeframes. The performance process is the timely, accurate, and thorough completion of all contract requirements.

2. Performance Standards

a. Schedule. The dates for services and the actual accomplishment of the services in accordance with the schedule will be assessed against original dates of services and milestones established for the contract.

b. Service. The services required to be performed will be assessed against the PWS detailed in the contract, for the required content, quality, timeliness, and accuracy.

c. Past Performance. In addition to schedule and services, and cost aspects of performance discussed above, pursuant to FAR 42.15, the Government will assess the contractor’s record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship, the contractor’s adherence to contract schedules including the administrative aspects of performance, the contractor’s history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction, and the contractor’s business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

3. Surveillance methods. The primary methods of surveillance used to monitor performance of this contract will include, but not be limited to: random or planned sampling, periodic inspection, Contractor Self Reporting, and validated customer complaints.

a. Random/Scheduled Monitoring. Random and/or scheduled monitoring will be conducted if and when deemed necessary by the COR to ensure compliance with the terms of the contract. Using the attached matrix the COR will determine whether the contractor is in compliance with the terms of the contract.

b. Contractor Self-Reporting. The contractor shall provide as needed status reports that document significant problems/issues and potential resolutions.

c. Customer Feedback. Customer feedback will be obtained from valid customer complaints. Customer complaints, to be considered valid, must set forth clearly and in writing the detailed nature of the complaint; must be signed and must be forwarded to the COR by the contractor. The contractor shall maintain a log of all customer complaints as well as a copy of each complaint in a documentation file. The COR may request to review the log and/or documentation file at any time.
