QUASP QASP Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan foR Calibration and warranty sevices A. PURPOSE This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) provides a systematic method to evaluate performance for the stated contract. This QASP explains the following: What will be monitored How monitoring will take place Who will conduct the monitoring How monitoring efforts and results will be documented This QASP does not detail how the contractor accomplishes the work. Rather, the QASP is created with the premise that the contractor is responsible for management and quality control actions to meet the terms of the contract. It is the Government’s responsibility to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating performance. In addition, the QASP should recognize that unforeseen and uncontrollable situations may occur. This QASP is a “living document” and the Government may review and revise it on a regular basis. However, the Government shall coordinate changes with the contractor. Updates shall ensure that the QASP remains a valid, useful, and enforceable document. Copies of the original QASP and revisions shall be provided to the contractor and Government officials implementing surveillance activities. B. Government Roles and Responsibilities The following personnel shall oversee and coordinate surveillance activities: i.

The COR shall use the surveillance methods listed below in the administration of this QASP. Review of monthly reports Review of reports submitted at the end of each phase Review of annual reports Regardless of the surveillance method, the COR shall always contact the contractor's task manager or representative when a defect is identified and inform the manager of the specifics of the problem. The COR shall be responsible for monitoring the contractor’s performance in meeting a specific performance standard/AQL. DIRECT OBSERVATION. (Can be performed periodically or through 100% surveillance.) PERIODIC INSPECTION. Uses a comprehensive evaluation of selected outputs. Inspections may be scheduled as required. o Analysis of contractor's progress reports. (Evaluate cost, schedule, etc.) o Performance reporting. Surveillance results may be used as the basis for actions (to include payment deductions) against the contractor. In such cases, the Inspection of Services clause in the contract becomes the basis for the KO’s actions. F. Ratings Metrics and methods are designed to determine if performance exceeds, meets, or does not meet a given standard and acceptable quality level. A rating scale shall be used to determine a positive, neutral, or negative outcome. The following ratings shall be used: Exceptional: Performance significantly exceeds contractual requirements to the Government’s benefit. Satisfactory : Performance meets contractual requirements. Unsatisfactory : Performance does not meet contractual requirements. G. DOCUMENTING PERFORMANCE i. ACCEPTABLE Performance. The Government shall document positive performance.

In any case the COR shall document the discussion and place it in the COR file. When the COR determines formal written communication is required, the COR shall prepare a Contract Discrepancy Report (CDR), and present it to the contractor's task manager or representative. A CDR template is attached to this QASP. The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the CDR in writing. The CDR will specify if the contractor is required to prepare a corrective action plan to document how the contractor shall correct the unacceptable performance and avoid a recurrence. The CDR will also state how long after receipt the contractor has to present this corrective action plan to the COR. The Government shall review the contractor's corrective action plan to determine acceptability. Any CDRs may become a part of the supporting documentation for contract payment deductions, fixed fee deductions, award fee nonpayment, or other actions deemed necessary by the KO. H. Frequency of Measurement i. Frequency of Measurement. During contract/order performance, the COR shall take periodic measurements, quarterly as specified in the AQL column of the Performance Standards Summary Matrix, and shall analyze whether the negotiated frequency of measurement is appropriate for the work being performed. ii. Frequency of Performance Assessment Meetings.

STARTING AT SECTION “A” BELOW** (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: A.1. BASIS FOR AWARD A.1.1. Award of this CONTRACT will be made on a competitive best value basis, using “best value trade-off” among price and non-price factors. A best value trade-off process will be used, thus, the Government may elect to award to other than the lowest priced Offeror, or other than the Offeror with the highest rated non-price proposal. Past Performance will be evaluated independently from the other non-price evaluation factors using different standards. The evaluation factors are listed below in descending order of importance. Factor 1 – Experience Factor 2 – Management Capabilities Factor 3 – Technical Approach Factor 4 – Past Performance Factor 5 – Price A.1.2. The Government will not assume that the Offeror possesses any capability or knowledge unless it is specified in the proposal. A.1.3. After Factors 1, 2, and 3 are rated individually, an overall rating will be assigned collectively to these factors. If any of Factors 1, 2, or 3 above receives an individual rating of “Unacceptable,” the collective overall rating will also be “Unacceptable.” After Factor 4 is rated individually for relevancy and recency, an overall consensus performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned. Proposals that receive an overall rating of “Marginal” for Factors 1, 2, or 3 will not be considered in the trade-off process. Only proposals receiving an overall rating of “Acceptable” or higher will be considered for award. A.1.4. Factor 5 – Price is the least important factor. A.1.5. As the collective non-price factors begin to reach equality in the evaluation, price becomes a more important factor in the trade-off analysis. A.2 EVALUATION CRITERIA A.2.1. Factor 1 – Experience : The Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated to the degree to which the Offeror’s proposal reflects corporate experience identical to, similar to, or related to performing services contained within the PWS. The experience will be evaluated to the degree to which the Offeror demonstrates relevant corporate experience in providing services to government medical research laboratories, specifically biomedical laboratories as required by this PWS. Offeror proposals shall cite specific examples of the most relevant corporate experience in the areas of basic and applied biomedical research; quality management; program management and administrative support services; facility support services; government regulations in relation to biosurety, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Good Laboratory Practice, FDA Animal Rule studies, non-clinical studies, human subjects research, clinical studies and Good Clinical Practice; and information technology and management experience. A.2.2. Factor 2 – Management Capabilities : The Management Capabilities will be evaluated for the degree to which the Offeror’s Management Capability demonstrates: (a) The Offeror’s management philosophy; (b) The Offeror’s organizational structure to include individuals’ authority, roles, responsibilities, internal reporting relationships and positions within the organization. If Offeror’s Technical Proposal includes subcontracting or teaming, those relationships must be clearly defined and explained; (c) Chain of command practices that will contribute in a positive manner to ensuring completion of all objectives (particularly emphasizing communications, accounting, crosschecks) on schedule and/or early enough to take necessary corrective actions, and flexibility in allocating resources based on Government priorities; (d) Offeror’s methods for staffing, managing personnel, managing subcontrac­tors, subcontracting plans, task management plans, including, but not limited to, mix of resources, teaming agreements, managing priorities, task monitoring, and decision making processes; (e) The Offeror’s transition-in and transition-out plan; (f) The Offeror’s process and tools for creating and managing schedules unique to operating and managing a major government medical research laboratory, including the need for emergency/contingency operations and 24/7 coverage; (g) The Offeror’s plans for monitoring and reporting cost and progress; (h) The Offeror’s plans for quick response to initial and change orders; (i) The Offeror’s risk mitigation plan, approach and procedures in various risk situations such as mobilization and natural disasters, recruiting of highly specialized SMEs, and delays by USAMRIID’s supporting agencies both in proactive and reactive modes; (j) The Offeror’s plan for mitigating organizational conflict of interests, both in proactive and reactive modes; (k) The Offeror’s proposed quality control plan, quality standards and processes for evaluating overall contract performance; and (l) The Offeror’s proposed problem or issue resolution plan. A.2.3. Factor 3 – Technical Approach : The technical approach will be evaluated for the degree to which the Offeror’s technical approach demonstrates a clear understanding of the PWS and all the tasks to be performed, the methodology and flexibility that will be utilized, and how the approach will accomplish all tasks, subtasks, and administrative tasks as are necessary to ensure program success within the proposal’s required time frame. This approach will be evaluated for the degree to which the technical approach demonstrates a clear working knowledge of USAMRIID’s mission. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed mix of prime and subcontractor capabilities to address the breadth of requirements in the PWS. A.2.4. Factor 4 - Past Performance : The past performance will be evaluated on the basis of the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in services that meets the requirements of the PWS. The Government will conduct a past performance risk evaluation and confidence assessment for the Prime and subcontractors that will be based on the relevance, recency, and quality of the Offeror’s past performance on projects of similar size, scope, and complexity within similar periods of performance. In this context, “Offeror” refers to the proposed Prime Contractor and all proposed subcontractors. (a) A rating for relevancy will be assigned for each Offeror. (b) The Government reserves the right to conduct telephone interviews utilizing the point-of-contacts provided in Part III - Past Performance of the Offeror’s proposal to determine the quality of Offeror’s contract performance. (c) The Government will review the relevant and recent past performance information to determine the risks associated with an Offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the PWS. (d) An overall consensus performance confidence assessment rating will be assigned for each Offeror based on the relevancy, recency, and performance quality of past performance information. (e) In the case of an Offeror who has no recent/relevant performance record available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have “Unknown Confidence” for its past performance evaluation factor. A.2.5. Factor 5 – Price : The price will be evaluated separately from non-price evaluation and past performance factors. Price proposal evaluation is to determine whether Offeror’s price proposal is fair and reasonable. The Government will evaluate the consistency, completeness, fairness and reasonableness of the Offeror’s price proposal. The price will be evaluated in terms of: (a) Consistency with labor categories in the Offeror’s technical approach; (b) Completeness in the proposed labor mix and labor hours are based on technical approach and reasonable assumptions; (c) Fairness and reasonableness in proposed labor rates for labor mix consistent with technical approach and reflect reasonable escalation and economy assumption for all labor rates proposed for base and all option periods. The base contract(s) shall contain the Clause FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, or an equivalent clause. By submitting a proposal for the Base contract, the contractor agrees to this inclusion in the base contract. The cost/price proposal will be evaluated against an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and other sources. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the base contract Period or Option period prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options. The cost/price proposal will be evaluated for completeness, realism, fairness, and reasonableness in terms of (a) Labor categories consistent with the Offeror’s technical approach, (b) Proposed labor rates and assumptions, (c) Proposed indirect rates and assumptions, (d) Proposed other direct costs (ODCs) and assumptions, and (e) Proposed escalation rate and assumptions. An Offeror’s accounting system shall be adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. All Offerors are required to have an adequate accounting system as defined in DFARS Clause 252.242-7006 ‘Accounting System Administration ’ to be eligible for an award. All prime Contractors must have an approved purchasing system as prescribed in FAR 44.201. The Offeror shall provide evidence of its accounting system being adequate in accordance with FAR 16.301-3, 16.304, 16.306, 16.601 and in compliance with FAR Part 31 Contract Cost Principles and Procedures. Evidence in the form of (a) Third party audited financial statements to include audit of accounting system and methods, (b) Current Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) cost accounting system audit report, or (c) Current certified DCAA Standard Form 1408 shall be accepted. Self certification or unsubstantiated statements of possessing an adequate accounting system is insufficient and may render the Offeror’s proposal non-responsive. A.3. EVALUATION RATING STANDARDS A.3.1. RATING STANDARDS FOR THE NON-PRICE PROPOSAL (EXCLUDING PAST PERFORMANCE) Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Table Rating Description Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low. Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low. Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on CONTRACT performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high. Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable. A.3.2. RATING STANDARDS FOR PAST PERFORMANCE Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Table Rating Description Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Performance Confidence Assessments Table Rating Description Substantial Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror shall successfully perform the required effort. Satisfactory Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror shall successfully perform the required effort. Limited Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offer shall successfully perform the required effort. No Confidence Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror shall successfully perform the required effort. Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. A.4.DEFINITIONS Term Definition Clarifications Limited exchanges between the Government and Offerors that may occur when award without discussions is contemplated. Communications Exchanges, between the Government and Offerors, after receipt of proposals, leading to establishment of the competitive range. Deficiency A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weakness in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful CONTRACT performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001. Discussions Negotiations conducted in a competitive acquisition. Discussions take place after establishment of the competitive range. Performance Confidence Assessment An evaluation of the likelihood (or Government’s confidence) that the Offeror will successfully perform the solicitation’s requirements; the evaluation is based upon past performance information. Recency As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the time that has elapsed since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant. Relevancy As it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the extent of similarity between the service/support effort, complexity, dollar value, CONTRACT type, and subcontract/teaming or other comparable attributes of past performance examples and the source solicitation requirements; and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance. Risk The potential for unsuccessful CONTRACT performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which an Offeror’s proposed approach to achieving the technical factor or subfactor may involve risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost (not applicable to firm-fixed-price CONTRACTS) for degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful CONTRACT performance. Significant Strength An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during CONTRACT performance. Significant Weakness A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful CONTRACT performance. See FAR 15.001. Strength An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during CONTRACT performance. Weakness A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful CONTRACT performance. See FAR 15.001. **END OF ADDENDUM** (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
