(a) This part prescribes policies and procedures to ensure that services acquired under the FEGLI Program contract conform to the contract's quality requirements.
(b) OPM shall evaluate the contractor's system of internal controls under the quality assurance program required by 2146.270 prior to each contract year and will acknowledge in writing whether or not the system is consistent with the requirements set forth in this Subpart. After the initial review, each annual review may be limited to changes in the contractor's internal control guidelines. However, a limited review does not diminish the contractor's obligation to apply the full internal control system.
(a) The contractor shall develop and apply a quality assurance program specifying procedures for assuring contract quality, as directed by the contracting officer. At a minimum, the program should include procedures to address:
(1) Accuracy of payments and recovery of overpayments;
(2) Timeliness of payments to beneficiaries;
(3) Quality of services and responsiveness to beneficiaries;
(4) Quality of service and responsiveness to OPM; and
(5) Detection and recovery of fraudulent claims.
(b) The contractor shall prepare overpayment recovery guidelines to include a system of internal control for approval annually by the contracting officer. The contracting officer may withdraw such approval with 90 days’ notice of prospective withdrawal.
(c) The contracting officer may order the correction of a deficiency or a modification in the contractor's services and/or quality assurance program. The contractor shall take the necessary action promptly to implement the contracting officer's order. If the contracting officer orders the correction of a deficiency or a modification of the contractor's services and/or quality assurance program pursuant to this paragraph after the contract year has begun, the costs incurred in correcting the deficiency or making the modification will not be considered to the contractor's detriment in the cost control factor of the service charge [if applicable] for the following contract year. However, if there is a deficiency, the deficiency itself may be taken into consideration.
The clause at 2152.246-70 shall be inserted in all FEGLI Program contracts.

(2) A life insurance contract entered into by OPM may be terminated by OPM at any time for default by the contractor. A life insurance contract entered into by OPM may be terminated at the end of the 31st day after default for nonpayment by OPM [see 2152.232-70, Payments].
(3) A life insurance contract entered into by OPM may be terminated for convenience of the Government 60 days after the contractor's receipt of OPM's notice to terminate.
(4) The contractor may terminate its contract with OPM at the end of any policy year when notice of intent to terminate is given to OPM in writing at least 60 days prior to the end of the policy year (i.e., no later than July 31).

The clause in 2152.249-70 shall be inserted in all FEGLI Program contracts.
