Its main purpose is to ensure compliance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and guarantee high-quality service while safeguarding the government’s interests, in accordance with FAR standards. Key responsibilities are assigned to the Contracting Officer, who ensures contract compliance, and the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), who oversees project administration and contractor performance surveillance. Several methods of quality assurance surveillance are defined, including customer feedback, 100% inspections, periodic inspections, and random monitoring. Performance is evaluated based on standards such as customer service, technical competence, timeliness of deliverables, invoicing, cost control, and compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
