of the Agency's Office of Minority and Women Inclusion such good faith efforts to include 

minorities and women in the Contractor's workforce (and as applicable, the workforce of its 

subcontractors), may result in termination of the contract for default, other contractual 

remedies, or referral to the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). 

Compliance with this clause does not, however, necessarily satisfy the requirements of 

Executive Order 11246, as amended, nor does it preclude OFCCP compliance evaluations 

and/or enforcement actions undertaken pursuant to that Executive Order.

Contracting Officer, unless necessitated by illness, death, or end of employment. The

(EESA) of 2008.

C.F.R. Part 31, and shall provide a detailed written plan explaining any and all steps the 

Contractor will undertake to avoid or mitigate such conflicts. The Contractor’s disclosure 

submission shall include but is not limited to the information specified in 31 C.F.R.

matters that may present the appearance of a conflict, as well as failure to comply with 31

not limited to: (i) refusal to waive a conflict; (ii) termination for default; (iii) debarment of the 

contractor from federal contracting; (iv) referral to the appropriate state licensing authorities; 

and/or in appropriate cases (v) civil or criminal actions. 

4. It is solely within the discretion of the Treasury to determine whether or not a conflict of 

interest exists and whether any mitigation plan submitted by the Contractor avoids or 

mitigates a conflict. Even the appearance of a conflict may result in the denial of a waiver or 

other appropriate actions. In the event that matters are transferred to another contractor or 

entity pursuant to the corrective actions listed above, the Contractor is expected to follow 

Treasury policies and procedures and to cooperate fully in the orderly transfer of such 

matters.

statement of work, the Contractor shall (i) obtain and review the submissions required by 31 

C.F.R. §31.212 for personal conflicts of interest, and (ii) certify in writing to the Treasury that

individual to perform work under this contract with respect to any institution or related 

entities of such institution with which such individual has disclosed a personal conflict of 

interest pursuant to 31 C.F.R. §31.212, absent obtaining the Treasury’s prior consent. In 

making this determination, the Contractor may rely on the information obtained pursuant to 
2032K718C00001 

Page 15 of 27

contract, the Contractor shall certify to the following:

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT 

(PWS)

Acquisition and Program Management Office Support Services 

1.0 Background

The U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is responsible for the management and 

administration of the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), which was established under the 

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the Act) to restore and maintain the stability of 

America’s financial system. The Act required the Secretary to establish the Office of Financial 

Stability (OFS) within the Treasury to implement the TARP and other programs under the Act. 

This acquisition will further the Treasury's mission of ensuring the stability of the U.S. financial 

system and support the implementation of TARP programs and initiatives through the 

procurement of supplies and services from private institutions. Financial institutions, law firms, 

accounting firms, consulting firms, and other entities continue to support Treasury's efforts under 

the TARP to ensure America's financial stability. Treasury retains these businesses through 

procurement contracts and agreements issued pursuant to the Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) and the Department of the Treasury Acquisition Regulation supplement. The Treasury 

requires a contract to satisfy repetitive requirements in an efficient and streamlined manner while 

furthering its goals of contracting with small, disadvantaged businesses within the Small 

Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program. The OFS reports to various 

oversight bodies, such as the Special Inspector General for TARP (SIGTARP), the Government 

Accountability Office (GAO), and Congress, which creates a need to maintain the most current 

information to report and respond to requests made by these authorities. 

2.0 Objective and Scope of Work 

Treasury requires the Contractor to provide acquisition and program management office support 

services in support of programs under the TARP and OFS processes. This includes, but is not 

limited to, assisting with the procurement of professional services, acquisition planning and 

contract administration as required by the Office of Treasury Procurement Services (OTPS), 

contract data reporting, and implementing and executing business process improvement. 

Additionally, acquisition and program management office support services include data entry 

into OFS’ Acquisition Management System (AMS), tracking, reviewing, updating, researching, 

and analyzing contract and program requirements, and evaluating, reengineering, and 

documenting any changes to the OFS acquisition processes.

The scope of work in its entirety equates to two (2) or less full-time mid-level analysts and one 

(1) part-time mid-level analyst with program manager oversight experience.

ATTACHMENT 1

QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE 

PLAN (QASP)

1.0 INTRODUCTION 

This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) is pursuant to the requirements listed in the 

Performance Work Statement (PWS). This performance-based plan sets forth the procedures 

and guidelines the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) will use in evaluating the 

technical performance of the Contractor. 

1.1 PURPOSE 

1.1 The purpose of the QASP is to describe the systematic methods used to measure 

performance and to identify the reports required and the resources to be employed. 

The QASP provides a means for evaluating whether the Contractor is meeting the 

performance standards identified in the PWS. 

1.2 This QASP is designed to define roles and responsibilities, identify the 

performance objectives, define the methodologies used to monitor and evaluate the 

Contractor’s performance, describe quality assurance reporting, and describe the analysis 

of quality assurance monitoring results. 

2.0 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

2.1 The Contracting Officer (CO) is responsible for monitoring contract compliance, 

contract administration, and cost control; and resolving any differences between the 

observations documented by the user/customer (hereinafter the Program Officer 

Representative (POR)) and submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) 

regarding the Contractor’s performance. 

2.2 The CO will designate one full-time COR as the Government authority for 

performance management. 

2.3 The COR is responsible for monitoring, assessing, and communicating the 

technical performance of the Contractor. 

3.0 IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED 

The Contractor shall provide acquisition and program management office support services in 

accordance with the PWS. The performance standards are established in the PRS section of 

this contract. The acceptable level of performance is set in the acceptable quality level related to 

that section. 
2032K718C00001 

Page 26 of 27 

4.0 METHODOLOGIES TO MONITOR PERFORMANCE 

4.1 In an effort to minimize the contract administration burden, simplified methods of 

surveillance techniques shall be used by the Government to evaluate Contractor 

performance. The primary methods of surveillance are reports and customer 

input/feedback. The Government will use appointed representatives, as well as reports 

and input from users/customers as sources of comments on the Contractor’s 

performance. 

4.2 The Contractor is expected to establish and maintain professional communication 

between its employees and customers. The primary objective of professional 

communication between employees and customers is customer satisfaction. Customer 

satisfaction is the most significant external indicator of the success and effectiveness of 

all services provided and can be measured through customer complaints. Performance 

management drives the Contractor to be customer focused through initially addressing 

user/customer complaints and investigating the issues and/or problems. 

NOTE: The user/customer (POR) always has the option to communicate complaints to 

the COR as opposed to the Contractor. The COR will investigate the customer’s 

complaints. 

4.3 The acceptable quality levels (AQL) located in the PRS Matrix of this contract 

for Contractor performance are structured to allow the Contractor to manage how the 

work is performed. Specific tasks subject to surveillance are identified in the PRS Matrix. 

5.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORTING 

Performance standards and measurements are outlined in the PWS. The POR will monitor and 

document the Contractor’s performance and will submit written reports to the COR to retain in 

the contract file. 

6.0 ANALYSIS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE MONITORING RESULTS 

6.1 At the end of each quarter, the POR will prepare a written report for the CO and 

COR summarizing the overall results of the quality assurance monitoring of the 

Contractor’s performance. This written report consists of the Contractor’s submitted 

monthly status reports and POR’s performance evaluations/records, and will become part 

of the Quality Assurance (QA) documentation. 

6.2 The CO may require the Contractor’s project manager, or a designated alternate,

to meet with the CO and other Government personnel as deemed necessary to discuss 

performance evaluation. The COR will define a frequency of in-depth reviews with the 

Contractor, however if the need arises, the Contractor will meet with the CO as often as 

required or per the Contractor’s request. The agenda of the reviews may discuss, among 

other things, the following: 
2032K718C00001 

Page 27 of 27 

• Monthly performance measured by the metrics and trends; 

• Issues and concerns of both parties; 

• Projected outlook for upcoming months and progress against expected trend; 

• Recommendations made by the COR based on Contractor information; and 

• Issues arising from independent reviews and inspections. 

6.3 The COR will use the information contained in the POR’s QA reports and 

Contractor’s monthly reports to assess the Contractor’s level of performance for each 

objective measured in this QASP. The COR must coordinate and communicate with 

the Contractor to resolve issues and concerns of marginal or unacceptable performance. 

The Contractor will discuss with the CO/COR satisfaction ratings receiving a “less than 

acceptable” rating. Note, “less than acceptable” ratings will result when the Contractor 

fails to meet the AQLs for each performance objective as set forth in the PRS Matrix 

section of the PWS. For such cases, the Contractor should highlight its perspective on 

factors driving customer satisfaction and present plans to adjust service levels 

accordingly to bring the satisfaction rating up to an acceptable level. 

6.4 The CO/COR and Contractor should jointly formulate tactical and long–term 

courses of action. Decisions regarding changes to metrics, thresholds, or service levels 

should be clearly documented. Changes to service levels, procedures, and metrics 

will be incorporated as a contract modification at the convenience of the CO. 

7.0 FAILURE TO PERFORM 

7.1 In cases where the Contractor fails to meet an AQL, the Contractor shall 

perform the applicable remedy set forth in the Performance Requirements Summary 

section of the PWS. 

7.2 The Contractor may be terminated based on failure to perform. The following 

criteria apply for determining appropriate action: 

• Notifications. Consistent with FAR Part 49, the CO shall notify the service 

provider of failure to meet standards through QA monitoring records, cure 

notices, or show cause notices and shall inform the service provider project 

manager or designated alternate of such notices. 

• Termination. If the CO determines that the Contractor has failed to perform to 

the extent that a termination for default is justified, the CO shall issue a notice of 

termination, consistent with FAR Part 49.
