3. Introduction Transition from Build-up to Sustainment (Prep for redeployment)
Contract administration is critical
Terminology – QASP, PP, Performance Based, QAE, COR, BRAG, MFT
Terminology doesn’t matter—Getter Done
Having a QASP equates to loading a weapon. A loaded weapon is worthless if you forget to pull the trigger.
Conducting and documenting surveillance equates to projecting bullets down range. Getter’ Done!

4. Performance Based Svs Acquisition Purpose - Design mission support strategies that result in:
Higher levels of contractor performance
Synergetic relationships
Accommodating changing or unforeseen mission needs
Leveraging commercial best practices (Yes, this applies in Iraq)
Encourage end users to identify requirements early (KO and RCC Chief Responsibility) (Customer Education…..document it)
Form a multi-functional team to manage requirement through acquisition life cycle
Identify members by position, not by name (turn-over hinders continuity)

5. Performance Based Svs Acquisition Performance based acquisitions describe quantifiable outcomes
What not how
Allow contractors to be creative in their efforts to accomplish our mission requirements
PBSA consists of:
Acquisition strategy that develops performance based requirements that align and track mission objectives complemented by a contract methodology that optimizes and drives performance
Market Research demonstrating reliance on commercial marketplace for its capabilities, innovation, technologies and competitive forces
Performance Based Work Statement (PWS) that defines requirements in terms of results rather than method of performing work. 5
6. PWS Contents Description of Services/General Information
Services Summary
Government Furnished Property/Services
Appendices – workload estimates, labor hour rates, square footage, etc. 6
7. Service Summary Nuts and bolts of surveillance
Identifies critical performance objectives
Provides “measurable” performance thresholds
Does not limit inspection/acceptance to service summary items
Does not require technical expert to create
KO will generally create initial draft
Customer will help redefine 7

9. Gansler Report (Nov 2007) 9 The Secretary of the Army established an independent Commission on Army Acquisition and
Program Management in Expeditionary Operations to review the lessons learned in recent
operations and provide forward-looking recommendations to ensure that future military
operations achieve greater effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency.1 The Commission
assessed process (including internal controls), personnel, organization, training, policy and
regulation, as well as explored legislative solutions, to ensure that the Army is properly equipped
for future expeditionary operations.2
The “Operational Army”3 is expeditionary and on a war footing, but does not yet fully recognize
the impact of contractors in expeditionary operations and on mission success, as evidenced by
poor requirements definition.
The Commission found that the following critical segments of the “Institutional Army”4 have not
adapted in order to enable responsive acquisitions and sustainment for expeditionary operations.

Training on COR responsibility, documentation, and ethics is paramountThese trends are linked to a lack of education, experience, training, and oversight. Contracting Officers are the gatekeepers. Training on COR responsibility, documentation, and ethics is paramount
13. COR Program/Training COR’s required on all service contracts in excess of $25K (AI 46.1)
Exceptions documented on D&F signed one level above KO
KO must routinely interface with COR
Monthly dialogue and assessment of contractor performance (minimum standard)
The Chief of the Contracting Office is responsible for compliance
Failure to comply across full spectrum of contracts
Office chief reports failure to ICO/ACO
ICO/ACO determines if resources need to be realigned to meet contract administration requirements.

14. COR Program/Training Recommend COR program manager to track all contracts requiring a COR.
Training Requirements (AI 42.1.C)
DAU CLC 106 – COR With a Mission Focus
Combating Trafficking in Persons
Local COR training by the RCC (include contract specific discussion) (PMR team has several local training tools for your use)
All must be documented in the contract file 14
15. QASP Reliance on Ktr Quality control Plan
Changes Gov role from oversight to insight
Serves as road map for contract surveillance
Outlines roles and responsibilities
Dictates COR performance requirements
Describes COR documentation requirements
Government evaluates contractor demonstrated results

16. QASP Determine type(s) of surveillance required for your service
Customer Complaint
Customer Survey
Periodic Inspection
Monthly Reports
Progress Meetings
Consider contractor data 16
17. Surveillance Documentation Each surveillance method must be accompanied by some form of documentation and procedure for processing the documentation
Customer Complaint Requires CC Form
Where are they located?
