Random Sampling for Extrapolated Deductions in Navy Maintenance Service Contracts

Abstract

This thesis examines the use of random sampling as a basis for taking extrapolated deductions in the payment of Navy maintenance service contracts. Motivated by increasing inspection requirements, NAVFAC has authorized limited use of this quality assurance tool. The experience of two activities which implemented extrapolated deductions in their family housing maintenance contracts is the focus of this study. Methods employed are evaluated along with an analysis of payment history, contractor performance and inspection requirements. The statistical basis used in the field tests along with an alternate proposal is analyzed. Various issues are identified which should be addressed before general guidance is promulgated. Major recommendations deal with sample adjustment, computer support, inspection methods and the need for oversight.
