This collection is approved through May, 1991. As a condition of clearance, GSA is directed to initiate a pilot program to test the use of performance-based methods for administering selected contracts. By providing incentives for contractors to improve service delivery, GSA shall attempt to reduce dependence on minimum labor hour requirements and certification for ensuring performance. As appropriate, the pilot program will test the use of: (1) performance-oriented work statements (2) deduction from contractor payments for deficient performance, (3) past performance as a criterion in source selection, and, (4) debarment in cases of chronic unsatisfactory performance. NOTE: The timetable, operating principles, activities, and evaluation criteria for this pilot program are to be jointly established and agreed upon by OMB and GSA.
