Key personnel requirements emphasize experience in developing ECQ packages, with strict standards for documentation quality. Deliverables, including monthly reports and quality control plans, must meet precise criteria for acceptance. Importantly, the document establishes a non-personal service agreement, ensuring contractor work operates independently without direct government supervision.
