Since contractors can only perform the tasks defined in the SOW, it’s critical that a SOW truly represent the needs of the requestor. Here is a list of the elements that must be included in a SOW:
- Scope of work to be performed (basic introduction to the general nature of the work and an overview of the specific work to be performed)
- Tasks to be performed by contractor (specific descriptions of the tasks)
- Deliverables the contractor is to provide
- Period of Performance (beginning and ending dates for contract)
- Place of Performance (contractor site or government site)
- Schedule of Deliverables (if required)
- Acceptance of Deliverables (who will review and approve the deliverables from the contractor)
- Government Technical Point of Contact (name/phone and fax/e-mail/)
- Government Furnished Property (will the government provide space, equipment, data, etc.)
- Travel (will travel be required in performance of the contract; if yes, details of travel must be provided such as number of trips, destination, duration, and purpose)
- Identification of classified nature and level of work, if necessary. (contractors performing classified work must complete DD Form 254)
- Suggested Vendor, if applicable (name/address/phone and fax/e-mail)
- Payment Schedule to contractor (single payment at completion of contract or schedule of payments which usually coincides with deliverable schedule)
- Cost estimate for the contract (labor, non-labor, contractor fees, contracting vehicle fees)
Several template and sample SOWs are provided in the Forms section of the website.
