Consult your BIA contracting officer for further guidance.  \nThe program office will need to prepare a SOW , for instance, when acquiring a service but notrelying on the contractor’s commercial description to define the requirement. In this situation, purchasers are tailoring the commercial services performed by the contractor (e.g. , program management services) to meet a particular government need (e.g. , management of a process improvement program) .  \nSOW Format  \n•  Background  \n•  Objectives  \n•  Scope  \n•  Tasks  \n•  Delivery  \n•  Government-Furnished Property (GFP)  \n•  Security Considerations  \n•  Travel  \n•  Special Material Requirements  \n•  Other Unique Requirements and Considerations  \n•  Place of performance  \n•  Period of performance  \nBackground  \nIdentified as the Introduction, this section provides information needed to acquaint the reader with the basic acquisition situation. The background information may:  \n• Define the program mission ;  \n• Identify the requirement in very general terms ;  \n• Describe why the project is being pursued and how it relates to other projects ;  \n• Summarize any statutory authority or regulations affecting the overall requirement; and  \n• Identify any background materials attached to the SOW.  \nObjectives  \nThis section should provide a concise overview of:  \n• The contract effort goals and objectives; and  \n• How the results or end products will be used.  \nScope  \nProvide a brief statement of what the government expects to accomplish under the contract-the breadth and limitations of the contract effort. It should not include specific work tasks or a description of deliverable products.  \nFor example:  \nThe government has a need for non-personal information technology project management services in the Southwest Regional Office. The contractor shall not perform inherently governmental functions under this contract but shall manage the relocation of 700 IT items to one central location. The contractor shall coordinate the relocation with the relocation product owners in 8 offices (items are defined in appendix A; offices and points of contact are defined in appendix B) .  \nA second example:  \nThe government has a need for non-personal services training on economic development in Native American communities. The contractor shall provide training to approximately 30 personnel at BIA office space (defined in place of performance) .  \nTasks  \nSometimes identified as “Requirements” or “Work Requirements,” this section defines the tasks that the contractor must complete during contract performance. The description of task requirements will depend on the approach that is selected to describe the required effort.  \n• For a performance-based work statement , this section should describe requirements in terms of results required rather than the methods for completing the work. This latitude will permit the contractor to develop new and innovative ways to complete those tasks.  \nPerformance-based work statements are the standard for commercial items when we are acquiring supplies or services based on definite performance (move furniture from point A to point B) or design requirements (Smartphone) .  \n• For a level of effort statement of work, this section should identify all tasks that must be performed and the hours to be devoted to each task.  \nLevel of effort work statements are used in times like repair, engineering, call center, help desk, etc. when it is not possible for the government to determine the extent or duration of the work.  \n• For a detailed statement of work, this section should describe how the service must be accomplished. It may include precise measurements, tolerances, materials, quality control requirements, and other government requirements that control the processes of th","cbCaivxhDfEM6s6y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivxhDfEM6s6y","pdf",265513,6,"English","# SOW Format\n## Background\n## Objectives\n## Scope\n## Tasks\n## Delivery\n## Government-Furnished Property (GFP)\n## Security Considerations\n## Travel\n## Special Material Requirements\n## Other Unique Requirements and Considerations\n## Place of performance\n## Period of performance\n## Task Example\n## Project Milestones and Completion Dates","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the statement of work (SOW) format in this template?\",\"answer\":\"The template presents the SOW format as a guide, noting it is not necessarily all-inclusive and should be tailored to the specific requirement.
