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.
