5.0 Flowchart

6.0 Procedure

Step Actionee Action
6.1 DIV. DIR. Recommends for appointment, per NASA FAR Supplement: Clause 1842.270, a COTR or a TM for the contract. If the value of the contract exceeds $100,000, and there is no COTR at GSFC, a COTR is appointed. If the value of the contract is less than $100,000, or if there is already a COTR at GSFC, then a TM is appointed.

6.2 COTR/TM Develops an initial Work Plan that tasks the contractor for specific activities to be done. This work plan is developed using the Statement of Work (SOW) from the contract and other contract quality assurance procedures as designated by the CO. If, during a contract evaluation process, it is determined that a new Work Plan needs to be developed or the existing Work Plan needs to be modified, then the revised Work Plan is developed using the same criteria. Depending on the contract, this consists of such items as Task Orders, Service Requests, Statement of Work, etc. The quality record of this event is, however, the contractually required document(s) that are submitted and stored by the Contracting Office. See the Contract Matrix in Appendix for specific Code C contract and the associated work plan.

6.3 COTR/TM Monitors the performance of the contractor to make sure the work is being done in accordance with the Work Plan(s) and in a timely and satisfactory manner. The monitoring process uses various inputs such as Monthly Reports from the contractor and customer feedback input to determine that the requirements of the contract are being met. Depending on the contract, this consists of reviewing 533 Reports, Monthly (or Periodic) Status Reviews, Visual Inspections, Customer responses, etc. The quality record of this events is, however, the contractually required document(s) that are submitted and stored by the Contracting Office. See the Contract Matrix in Appendix A for specific Code C contracts and the associated Monitoring Reports.

6.4 COTR/TM Evaluates the performance of the contractor and recommend payment. The evaluation process uses various techniques to verify that the work has been performed according to the contract requirements and that the work is of high quality and acceptable to NASA HQ. Depending on the contract, this consists of the Award Fee Process and Issuance of the Award Fee Letter, Certifying Invoices for payment, etc. The quality record of this event is, however, the contractually required document(s) that are submitted and stored by the Contracting Office. See the Contract Matrix in Appendix A for specific Code C contracts and the associated Evaluating Reports.

6.5 CO/COTR Continue Contract? If performance is satisfactory, and the contract is continuing go to 6.6, the previous steps (from 6.2) are repeated at regular intervals for the duration of the contract. If the contract is terminating either for cause or because it is the end of the contract period go to 6.7, as it ceases to be an active contract.

6.6 COTR/TM Need new work plan? Based on performance of the contractor and results from the evaluation process, a determination is made, whether a revised Work Plan is needed? If so, the iterative process repeats from Step 6.2. If not, process continues with Step 6.3 for cycle repeat. If the Contract does not continue the process ends.
