MRTC Direct Action Instructor Support IDIQ
Attachment 4 | 12 November 2026
Purpose and use. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) describes the Government’s planned approach for monitoring contractor performance under the MRTC Direct Action Instructor Support IDIQ. It is provided for transparency and will be used with the Statement of Work (SOW), authorized task or delivery orders, applicable Programs of Instruction (POIs), and other contract terms and conditions.
Contractual effect. This QASP does not create, alter, or waive contractual requirements; establish new performance standards, thresholds, deliverables, staffing obligations, acceptance criteria, or remedies; or authorize the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) to change the contract. Only the Contracting Officer may modify the contract or issue contractual direction.

1. Scope

This QASP applies to contractor performance supporting Direct Action High-Risk Training Instructors (DAHRTI), Episodic Direct Action Instructors (EDAI), Episodic Combat Marksmanship Instructors (ECMSI), and authorized travel and materials and ancillary services. Surveillance will focus on compliance with the SOW, applicable task or delivery orders, POIs, safety requirements, security requirements, and contract terms and conditions.

The COR may observe performance, review records and deliverables, identify actual or potential nonconforming performance, communicate findings to the contractor as appropriate, and notify the Contracting Officer of significant, repeated, safety-related, security-related, or mission-impacting concerns.

2.3 Contractor
