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 contractor performance aligns with targeted requirements, the Government receives the quality of services specified, and payment is made only for acceptable service levels.

This document outlines the Government's surveillance and oversight of the contractor's efforts to meet performance standards required by the contract. It distinguishes the contractor's Quality Control Plan (QCP) from the Government's QASP. The QASP is not part of the contract and does not duplicate the contractor's QCP. The Government may provide an informational copy of the QASP to aid the contractor in developing their QCP.

The document references PWS Section 4: Performance Requirements Section for performance objectives and standards. It details methods for surveillance by the COR/COR Designee to validate and inspect these performance elements. A Surveillance Matrix is included, outlining how performance objectives and standards will be measured. Performance ratings include Excellent/Outstanding, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, and Unsatisfactory, with defined criteria for each.

Specific performance requirements and their Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) are listed:

• PR 1.1: CMMS is fully functional (95% of the time).
• PR 2.1: Support is available 24/7/365, by 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 document, but it refers to the PWS for these details.

• Government Resources: Includes Contracting Officer (Cori Gonzales) and Contracting Officer's Representative (Stephanie Stone) with defined roles.
• Surveillance Methods: COR/COR Designee Review and Customer Feedback (surveys, complaints).
• Documentation: Results of monitoring activities are documented on the Performance Monitoring Results Template (Attachment 09) and submitted quarterly or as needed. A complete quality assurance file will be maintained by the COR.
• Deviations: Any deviations to target performance requirements need preapproval by the Contracting Officer (CO) and will be documented.
