Quality Assurance Plan: The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will monitor contractor performance and complete the Quality Assurance Worksheet provided below on a monthly basis. The Quality Assurance Worksheet will be submitted directly to the Administering Contracting Officer with a copy to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) following the first month of performance following the service. Future months will be submitted to the Contracting Officer only, unless COR involvement is warranted (i.e. anything other than green). The COR will assume a quality performance rating of "Green" on all measured deliverables unless otherwise notified. The quality rating may change from "Green" to "Red" without notice. We anticipate the COR utilizing the "Yellow" quality rating to alert the contracting office and the COR of quality issues that have the potential for a "Red" quality rating if corrective action is not taken. By approving service and/or deliverables on the worksheet, the COR confirms the quality performance rating of "Green" unless otherwise annotated. The Contracting Officer listed in the contract will provide the Contractor with a copy of all rating worksheets that are other than green. At the end of the performance period, the COR will be asked to complete a Quality Performance Review to document the quality performance rating. This will be submitted to the Contracting Officer. If there are any ratings other than green a copy will be furnished to the contractor. The COR may submit a Quality Assurance Worksheet at anytime and as often as necessary to document quality levels. If Contractor response to an identified quality deficiency is unsatisfactory, the Contracting Officer will contact the appropriate Contractor representative to implement a plan of action to remedy the identified deficiency.
