Common use of Statement of Work/Performance Work Statement Clause in Contracts

Statement of Work/Performance Work Statement. Per FAR 37.102(e), to the maximum extent practicable, the Ordering Activity shall describe the need to be filled using performance-based acquisition methods. A written SOW or PWS will always be used. The OCO will provide the SOW/PWS to the GSA PCO and GSA PM. The GSA PCO will provide a scope determination to the OCO. Any changes to the SOW/PWS or expansion of the original requirement will require an additional scope review by the GSA PCO. Scope reviews can be conducted by GSA and completed in parallel with the OCO's Task Order acquisition activities. In Task Orders requiring immediate delivery of service for an urgent requirement, the GSA scope review may be completed after the Task Order is awarded.
