The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) outlines a systematic approach to evaluate performance for contracted lodging at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. It specifies what will be monitored, the methods of monitoring, and the personnel responsible for this oversight. The Contracting Officer (KO), Contract Specialist (CS), and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) are designated to ensure compliance with contractual obligations, and the importance of objective evaluation is emphasized. Performance standards and Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) are outlined in an attached table, while various surveillance methods, including direct observation, periodic inspection, and user surveys, are detailed to ensure comprehensive monitoring of contractor performance. A rating system categorizes performance as Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory. Documentation practices are defined, requiring the COR to report performance impacts, especially concerning non-compliance, via the Contractor Performance Assessment Ratings System (CPARS). This QASP serves as a living document, potentially revised to remain relevant, and underscores the government's commitment to ensuring quality and accountability in contractor performance. Overall, the QASP functions as a governance tool to maintain high standards in contracted services, establishing clear expectations and oversight methodologies within the framework of government procurement.
