Project management Work breakdown structure
The work breakdown structure
provides a common framework for the
natural development of the overall
planning and control of a contract and
is the basis for dividing work into
definable increments from which the
statement of work can be developed
and technical, schedule, cost, and
labor hour reporting can be
established.

Request for proposal - Specifications
Once both the parties i.e. a buyer
organization and seller organization agree
on the technical and commercial terms

Call for bids - Double envelope system

In an open bid or tender system, a double
envelope system may be used. The
double envelope system separates the
technical proposal (statement of work)
from the financing or cost proposal in the
form of two separate and sealed
envelopes.

Government contract - Preparing a proposal
Frequently, contractor proposals in
response to a Request for Proposals
(RFP) include an exact copy of the
RFP's statement of work. An offeror's
response usually indicates their
approach to performing the statement
of work, their approach to managing
the program or project, and examples
of past performance on projects similar
in size, scope, and complexity.

Government contract - Statement of Work

The statement of work (SOW) is a formal
document submitted along with the
request for proposal (RFP) to a vendor
that defines the work to be performed, the
location of the work, the deliverable
schedule, applicable performance
standards, any special requirements (e.g.,
security clearances, travel, and special
knowledge), and the period of
performance.FAR 8.405-2

on a bill of quantities, a bill of

Data Item Descriptions - Terminology

Within a military solicitation or contract,
each DID is uniquely numbered to identify
the data deliverables in terms of specific
information such as: purpose, description,
preparation instructions including a table

Statement of work (SOW).

Writers of a Statement of work|SOW often
include requirements that belong in other
parts of a contract. Specifically, quantitative
technical requirements are addressed in the
military specification and work requirements
are specified in the SOW, and data
requirements (e.g., delivery, format, and
content) should be in the Contract Data
Requirements List|CDRL along with the
appropriate DID to minimize the potential for
conflict.

Statement of work
A 'statement of work' (SOW) is a formal
document that captures and defines the
work activities, deliverables, and timeline a
vendor must execute in performance of
specified work for a client. The SOW
usually includes detailed requirements and
pricing, with standard regulatory and
governance terms and conditions. It thus
overlaps in concept with a contract, and
indeed SOWs are often legally equivalent
to contracts.

Statement of work - Overview

Many formats and styles of Statement of
Work document templates have been
specialized for the hardware or software
solutions described in the Request for
Proposal. Many companies create their
own customized version of SOWs that are
specialized or generalized to
accommodate typical requests and
proposals they receive.

but may also be inserted as an attachment in
Section J. In task orders, the SOW may
simply be included among the terms and
conditions of the order itself. The SOW is
often supplemented by technical reference
documents and attachments. In developing
the SOW, it is important to ensure that the
statement of work is comprehensive and
sufficiently detailed, but that the statements
do not duplicate terms and conditions or
other provisions elsewhere in the solicitation
or contract.

The Statement of Work should be directly
linked to deliverables shown in the CDRL
form. This is done by having each CDRL
entry include reference to the SOW
paragraph(s) that produces or uses the
item, and the SOW text should be clear
where it is discussing a deliverable by
using the title or parenthesizing the item
number (for example, [A-001]).
