The following points should be considered when developing a Statement of Work:
Determining the need for a SOW : A department must include a statement of work for all services transactions and for goods transactions when appropriate. A statement of work protects the State and the contractor by identifying and documenting the details of the work to be performed.
What to include in a SOW? A statement of work is unique to each purchase document, but usually consists of some or all of the following:
- A detailed statement of the purpose, objective or goals to be undertaken by the contractor.
- The job classification or approximate skill level of the personnel to be made available by the contractor.
- An identification of all significant material to be developed by the contractor and delivered to the State.
- An identification of all significant materials to be delivered by the State to the contractor.
- An estimated time schedule for the provision of these services by the contractor.
- Completion criteria for the work to be performed.
- The name or identification of the contractor personnel to be assigned.
- The contractor's work hours required to accomplish the purpose, objective or goals.
- The contractor's billing rates per work hour (as provided in the contract documentation).
- Contractor's total cost.
