Inherent with every federal service contract is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) which government personnel use to surveil and evaluate a firm’s performance. As odd as it may seem, many federal agencies are issuing solicitations requiring firms to propose a QASP as part of their proposal. This webinar will address the components of a QASP, how and why it is made a part of a service contract, the government’s rationale behind having offerors submit a proposed QASP, and what you have to do if must submit a QASP.

This workshop is FREE and OPEN to ALL community members.  The workshop will take place on Tuesday, February 2nd at 9:00 am Pacific / 10:00 pm Mountain / 11:00 pm Central. This workshop will be delivered online utilizing the Zoom platform. The workshop can be taken on computers and smartphones.
