It details what will be monitored, how, by whom, and how results will be documented. This living document emphasizes the contractor's responsibility for quality control while the government ensures objective evaluations. Key government roles include the Contracting Officer (CO), responsible for overall contract compliance and safeguarding U.S. interests, and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), who handles technical administration and surveillance. Surveillance methods include direct observation, periodic inspections, validated customer complaints, and contractor-provided documentation. The QASP also specifies incentives for acceptable quality levels, such as favorable performance evaluations, and disincentives for non-compliance, including Contract Discrepancy Reports (CDRs) and potential termination. Performance standards are detailed in a matrix, with ratings (positive, acceptable, unacceptable) based on successful completion percentages. Unacceptable performance leads to a formal CDR process, requiring the contractor to submit a corrective action plan. Regular performance assessment meetings and quarterly reports ensure ongoing monitoring and adjustments to the plan.
