The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under the contract IAW the Government’s Quality

Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). QASPs are considered to be "living documents," dynamic, adaptable, and subject to modification based on Contractor performance surveillance results. The QASP is not part of the PWS and http://www.sam.gov/ will not be issued with the solicitation. The QASP focuses on the procedures and processes the Government will implement to assure the Contractor is performing IAW the performance standards within the PWS. The

Government plan defines the criteria of how the Contractor’s performance will be evaluated, the frequency of surveillance, and the items to be inspected. Although the Government will develop a QASP, Government surveillance of Contractor performance is not limited to the QASP, or the performance objectives, outlined in the

Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). The Government retains the right to evaluate all services required by the contract.

The Contractor's QCP shall include a separate section, which addresses the

Contractor's method of managing quality of work. The QCP shall include a description of the inspection system to address services listed in this PWS, and a description of the methods to be used for identifying and preventing defects in the quality of services performed. The plan shall include a description of the Contractor’s inspection system to include specifics as to areas to be inspected on a scheduled and unscheduled basis, frequency of inspections, and the title and organizational placement of the Contractor’s inspectors. No lead person or first line supervisor shall be considered a Quality Control Inspector. The Contractor shall develop, maintain, and submit a

QCP to the KO for acceptance within fourteen (14) calendar days after the contract is awarded. The Contractor shall submit any proposed changes in the QCP to the KO for written approval five (5) working days prior to implementation.
