PART 37_SERVICE CONTRACTING--Table of Contents
 
               Subpart 37.6_Performance-Based Contracting
 
Sec.  37.602-2  Quality assurance.

    Agencies shall develop quality assurance surveillance plans when 
acquiring services (see 46.103 and 46.401(a)). These plans shall 
recognize the responsibility of the contractor (see 46.105) to carry out 
its quality control obligations and shall contain measurable inspection 
and acceptance criteria corresponding to the performance standards 
contained in the statement of work. The quality assurance surveillance 
plans shall focus on the level of performance required by the statement 
of work, rather than the methodology used by the contractor to achieve 
that level of performance.
