    The document provides a template for a Statement of Work (SOW) that describes the scope of a project. It outlines several key sections that should be included in a SOW, such as an introduction/background, scope of work, period of performance, place of performance, work requirements, schedule/milestones, acceptance criteria, and other requirements. The SOW is a formal agreement between all parties involved in a project that defines what work will be completed, when, where, how it will be delivered, and accepted.

    Statement of Work Template

    Introduction/Background
    The Statement of Work (SOW) is a document which describes the scope of work required to complete a
    specific project. It is a formal document and must be agreed upon by all parties involved. In order to be
    effective, the SOW must contain an appropriate level of detail so all parties clearly understand what work
    is required, the duration of the work involved, what the deliverables are, and what is acceptable. This
    section should provide a general description of the project as well as highlight the project’s background
    and what is to be gained by the project. As the SOW often accompanies a request for proposal (RFP),
    the SOW introduction and background is necessary for bidding vendors to familiarize their organizations
    with the project.

    Scope of Work
    This section should provide a brief statement of what you expect to accomplish as a result of this scope
    of work. While specific deliverables and tasks will be presented in the Work Requirements section, this
    section should highlight what is and is not included in the scope of the project in broader terms.

    Period of Performance
    This section should define the time period over which the project will occur. The timeframe for the project
    can be pre-determined or based on a completion date to coincide with some external requirement (i.e.
    new Government regulation). It is important to define the period of performance since this is usually a
    variable in the project’s cost. Additionally, if there are delays in a project and it will not be completed
    within the defined period of performance, a contract modification may be required and the costs of the
    project will increase as well.

    Place of Performance
    This section should describe where the work will be performed by the vendor. In some cases the vendor
    may perform all or some of its work on site at the customer’s location. This is usually dependent on the
    type of industry or work being performed. It is important to define this in case the customer requires the
    vendor to work at the customer’s site and to clarify any equipment and/or work space that will be
    provided.

    Work Requirements
    This section should include a description of the actual tasks which the project will require. This should
    include what tasks need to be completed in order for successful completion of this project/contract. As
    with all other portions of the SOW, every effort should be made to include as much detail as possible.

    Schedule/Milestones
    This section should define the schedule of deliverables and milestones for this project. Since the SOW
    often accompanies the RFP for the project, it is imperative that all milestones, tasks, and schedule
    information are as accurate as possible since vendors will need to consider these items in their
    proposals.

    Acceptance Criteria
    This section defines how the customer will accept the deliverables resulting from this SOW. The
    acceptance of deliverables must be clearly defined and understood by all parties. This section should
    include a description of how both parties will know when work is acceptable, how it will be accepted, and
    who is authorized to accept the work.

    Other Requirements
    Any special requirements, such as security requirements (personnel with security clearance and what
    level, badges, etc.) should be described in this section. There should also be a description of any IT
    access restrictions/requirements or system downtime/maintenance if required.
