SETA JIAMDO Re-Compete

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Contract Administration Plan (CAP) for Cost Type, Indefinite Delivery Contracts/Task Orders. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of various government personnel involved in contract administration, including the Procuring Contract Office (PCO), Contract Administration Office (CAO), Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), paying office, Ordering Officer, Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and Technical Assistant (TA).

While this document does not contain specific requirements for a particular solicitation, it is crucial for bidders to understand the administrative structure and points of contact for contract administration. Key takeaways for bidders include:

• Procuring Contract Office (PCO): Handles pre-award duties, questions during pre-award, and changes to contract terms.
• Contracting Officer's Representative (COR): Serves as the primary technical interface, monitors contractor performance, reviews invoices, and assists with contract modifications. The COR cannot issue contractual changes.
• Ordering Officer: Responsible for requesting, evaluating, and obligating funds for orders under the contract.
• Technical Assistant (TA): Provides routine administrative and monitoring support to the COR, but has no authority for technical direction.

Understanding these roles helps bidders know who to contact for different aspects of contract administration and clarifies the limitations of each role, particularly the COR's inability to unilaterally change contract terms.

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

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) aims to ensure the Government has an effective and systematic method for monitoring contractor performance on services defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). It serves as a tool to verify that the contractor is delivering all required services accurately, completely, and in a timely manner.

The contractor will provide analytic, strategic, technical, managerial, and administrative support to enhance the customer's mission and total force readiness. This includes planning, analysis, monitoring, evaluation, assessment, and documentation of programs to meet the Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) needs of the Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense Organization (JIAMDO). Support extends to performing studies, analysis, wargames, exercises, technical demonstrations, and assessments of programs, processes, doctrines, policies, and strategies. Work may involve classification levels up to TS SAP/SCI and/or FP/ACCM.

Performance will be assessed against:

• Schedule: Due dates for deliverables and milestones.
• Deliverables: Specifications for content, quality, timeliness, and accuracy as detailed in the contract and PWS.
• Past Performance: Conformance to contract requirements, quality of workmanship, adherence to schedules, cooperative behavior, and customer satisfaction.

Not explicitly detailed in this document, but performance is tied to contract and task order schedules.

• Surveillance Methods: Random or planned sampling, periodic or random inspection, and validated customer complaints.
• Performance Measurement: Specific metrics are outlined for Contractor Quality Control Plan, Contract Deliverables, Overall Contract Performance, and Invoicing, with defined acceptable quality levels (AQLs).
• Incentives/Disincentives: Contractor performance will be reported annually (CPARS). Failure to achieve satisfactory performance may lead to contract termination, loss of future contracts, or non-exercise of additional task orders. The Government may issue Contract Discrepancy Reports (CDRs) for non-compliant items. Contractors are incentivized to provide quality products promptly, as work failing to meet requirements may need correction at no additional fee.
