The Defense Logistics Agency – Energy (DLA-Energy) requires transportation of bulk fuels and associated products via ISO containers in Honolulu, Hawaii, including Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) outlines the government's method for monitoring contractor performance to ensure compliance with contract standards, rather than detailing how the contractor performs the work. The QASP is a living document, not part of the contract, and is guided by FAR Subparts 37.6 and 46.4. Key roles include the Contracting Officer (KO), Amanda Webster, who ensures contract compliance and fair treatment, and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), Tony Scales, who provides technical oversight, documents performance using the QASP, and reports issues. Performance standards cover transportation, ISO container cleaning, testing, and maintenance, with specific acceptable quality levels. Surveillance methods include periodic and customer complaint-driven observations, with performance rated using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Unacceptable performance leads to Contract Discrepancy Reports (CDRs) and corrective action plans. Attachments include templates for Customer Complaint Records, Contract Discrepancy Reports, and Corrective Action Reports.
This government file outlines comprehensive guidelines for sampling and testing petroleum products, as well as procedures for cleaning and converting conveyances that transport these materials. It is structured into four main tables: Sample Retention, Minimum Sampling and Testing Requirements for Tankers and Barges (Series 1), Minimum Sampling and Testing Requirements for Pipelines, Tank Trucks, Tank Cars, and ISO-Containers (Series 2), Product Receipt and Discharges for Tankers and Barges (FOB Destination) (Series 3), and Product Receipt from Pipeline (FOB Destination) (Series 4). Additionally, there is a table defining test series (Type A, B-1, and C) and a conversion chart for various transport modes. The document details minimum quantities for retained samples, retention periods, sampling locations, types of samples, and required tests for different petroleum products and scenarios, emphasizing quality assurance and adherence to ASTM International D4057 for sampling procedures. It also provides crucial instructions for cleaning conveyances based on previous and intended cargo to prevent contamination, particularly for aviation turbine fuels.
