Sample Format for a Statement of Work

SPECIFIC TASKS: Provide a narrative of the specific tasks that make up the SOW. Number the tasks sequentially, e.g., Task 1 - title of task and description, Task 2 - title of task and description, etc. Describe in clear terms, using active language, what work will be performed. The requirement must be defined sufficiently for the contractor to submit a realistic proposal and for the Government to negotiate a meaningful price or estimated cost. SOWs must be “outcome-based,” i.e., they must include the development and delivery of actual products (e.g., assessment report, migration strategy, implementation plan, etc.).
