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

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) details the methods and procedures the Government will use to monitor contractor performance and ensure required performance standards and acceptable quality levels (AQLs) are met. The primary goal is to ensure the contractor delivers services in accordance with contract requirements and that the Government only pays for acceptable services received.

This QASP outlines the surveillance of performance and identifies performance indicators, standards, inspections, methods, and procedures for monitoring contractor performance against the PWS, CDRL, and other contract documents. It covers the surveillance of deliverables, work products, and tasks.

The QASP enforces surveillance of deliverables against contract performance standards and AQLs. Meeting these standards is required for a satisfactory CPARS rating. Exceeding these standards requires providing timely support and work products that further DON financial statement auditability.

Not explicitly detailed in this document, but surveillance will occur throughout the contract period.

• COR Responsibility: Technical administration of the contract, ensuring Government surveillance, documenting inspections, and assessing contractor performance for CPARS.
• Contractor Responsibility: Managing quality control, providing sufficient oversight, internal validation, and collaborating with the Government.
• Surveillance Methods: Includes CDRL inspection and feedback from Senior Leadership/Government Technical Lead/Technical Assistant. Other techniques like site visits and interviews may be used.
• Corrective Action: If performance is insufficient or out of scope, a written corrective action plan will be requested.
• Reporting: Performance issues will be discussed in Monthly Program Management Reviews, and CPARS assessments will be conducted at least annually.
