Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is a Government-developed document to ensure systematic quality assurance methods are used in administering Performance-based Acquisition (PBA) standards outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Its intent is to ensure the Contractor performs according to targeted performance requirements, that the Government receives the quality of services specified, and that payment is made only for acceptable levels of service.

This document outlines the Government's surveillance and oversight of the contractor's efforts to meet performance standards required by the contract. It is not part of the contract and does not duplicate the Contractor's Quality Control Plan (QCP). The QASP supports the Contractor's development of a QCP that interrelates with the QASP.

The QASP utilizes methods described in the PWS, Section 18: Performance Requirements Section. Surveillance methods include COR/COR Designee Review and Customer Feedback. Performance is evaluated using ratings such as Excellent/Outstanding, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, and Unsatisfactory, based on defined criteria related to meeting contractual requirements and the effectiveness of corrective actions. Specific performance requirements and their Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) are detailed, including:

• PR 1.1: CMMS is fully functional (95% of the time).
• PR 2.1: Support is available 24/7/365 via telephone and/or email (100%).
• PR 2.2: Perform 1 user training (100%).
• PR 2.3: Responsive to integrate and configuration changes (100%).

Not explicitly detailed in this excerpt, but the QASP supports the administration of the PWS.

• Government Resources: Includes Contracting Officer (Cori Gonzales) and Contracting Officer's Representative (Stephanie Stone) and COR Designees.
• Documentation: All monitoring activities are documented on the Performance Monitoring Results Template (Attachment 09). The COR maintains a complete quality assurance file.
• Deviations: Any deviations to targeted performance requirements need preapproval by the Contracting Officer (CO) and must be documented.
