When developing a QASP, which factor is NOT considered?

When developing a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), consideration of the potential for contractor bonuses is not typically included among the key factors. The primary focus of a QASP is to establish the methodology for assessing the contractor's performance to ensure that they meet the requirements set forth in the contract.

Contract complexity, risk of contractor non-performance, and the importance of the contract are all critical elements in crafting an effective QASP. These factors help determine how performance will be monitored, the level of scrutiny required, and the specific metrics that will be applied to assess compliance and performance effectiveness. The potential for contractor bonuses, however, does not influence how the contractor's performance is evaluated or how the QASP is structured. Instead, bonuses may be related to the contractor's performance outcomes but do not directly impact the quality assurance framework itself.

Therefore, in the context of the QASP, the absence of focus on contractor bonuses allows for a more targeted and objective assessment of performance against established criteria.
