| PBSA methods are intended to ensure that required performance quality levels are achieved and that total payment is related to the degree that services performed meet contract standards. Performance-based contracts: |
| (a) Describe the requirements in terms of results required rather than the methods of performance of the work. |
| (b) Use measurable performance standards (terms of quality, timeliness, quantity, etc.) and quality assurance surveillance plans (see FAR 46.103(a) and 46.401(a)) |
| (c) Specify procedures for reductions of fee or for reductions to the price of a fixed-price contract when services are not performed or do not meet contract requirements (see FAR 46.407) |
| (d) Include performance incentives where appropriate. |
