    1.2.1-2RFI-Draft Appendix A QASP.docx
    The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is designed to evaluate a contractor’s performance under a federal contract, ensuring adherence to specified metrics. The plan delineates functional areas of assessment, performance requirements, acceptable quality levels (AQLs), and methods for monitoring performance. Contractors are expected to meet AQLs in all areas, which define permissible levels of performance deficiencies while maintaining overall satisfactory service levels. The QASP specifies performance metrics, such as the total monthly fill rate of qualified full-time employees (FTEs), mandatory start dates, and on-time delivery of specified contract deliverables. Each metric is monitored through monthly status reports, with recommended AQLs outlined for each area, typically set at 90-100%. In cases of performance discrepancies, the government will record issues through a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR), prompting contractors to address these concerns promptly. The QASP establishes that satisfactory performance, as measured against the outlined metrics, will inform Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) ratings, ensuring accountability and transparency in contractor engagements. Overall, the QASP promotes effective contractor performance management vital for mission success in federal procurement contexts.
