Generic SOW Template
Statement of Work (SOW) Template
The Statement of Work (SOW) template is only meant to be a
guide for you to demonstrate your understanding of how
important it is to outline the project needs in detail. Contents
should be tailored to the requirement.
Background
This section provides information needed to acquaint the reader
with the basic acquisition situation. The background
information may:
· Identify the requirement in very general terms;
· Describe why the project is being pursued and how it relates
to other projects;
· Summarize any statutory authority or regulations affecting the
overall requirement; and
· Identify any background materials attached to the
SOW.Objectives
This section should provide a concise overview of:
· The contract effort goals and objectives; and
· How the results or end products will be used.
Scope
Provide a brief statement of what the buyer (you as the
contractor for this assessment) expects to accomplish for the
RFP you have selected for your project. It should not include
specific work tasks or a description of deliverable products.
Tasks
Sometimes 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.
· 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.
· 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.
· 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 the Contractor.
· Specify requirements clearly so that all readers can understand
them.
· Reference only the absolute minimum applicable
specifications and standards needed.
· Tailor specifications and other documents to the specific RFP
you have chosen.
· Separate general information from direction.

Task 3 - Title
Describe the specific services to be provided. Include
milestones that are to be accomplished as applicable and as

Delivery
This section should clearly state:
· What the Contractor must deliver. If different tasks have
different delivery requirements, they must be clearly identified.
· When the Contractor must deliver. This may be stated using
actual dates, days after contract award, or using some other
method that clearly marks the required delivery date.
· Where the Contractor must deliver the service. This may be
stated as a location, an organization, a person identified by
position (e.g., Contracting Officer’s Representative, a person
identified by name or using some other description.)
· Other items to consider: Include any associated review periods
or incorporation of Government comments as applicable.
Deliverables are different than task completion milestones.
Milestones may not require a specific submittal. Include here
the schedule for when final products such as data, reports or
other items are required to be furnished to the primary
requestor.

required of software upgrades or installations);
· Special security clearance requirements; or
· Special escort requirements. Travel
Describe any travel requirements that are to be encountered in
the performance of the service(s).

Describe requirements for any special materials that are to be
encountered in the performance of the service(s).Other Unique
Requirements
Discuss any other unique requirements or considerations, e.g. -

Identification (RFID).
SOW Language Tips:
A variety of people with different perspectives and life
experiences will read your SOW. Readers can typically include
Government and industry contracting personnel, managers,
technical experts, accountants and lawyers. All these readers
need to understand the SOW in a clear and concise manner;
therefore, language selection is very important.
Below are tips that you should consider when reviewing the
SOW:
· Use simple words, phrases, and sentences whenever practical.
· Be concise, precise, and consistent. Keep sentences short and
to the point. Normally the longer the sentence, the harder it is to
understand.
· Use verbs in the active voice. A verb is in the active voice
when it expresses an action performed by its subject. For
example, “The Contractor shall report contract progress
quarterly.” Conversely, avoid using verbs in the passive voice.
A verb is in the passive voice when it expresses an action
performed upon its subject or when the subject is the result of
the action. For example, “Contract progress shall be reported
quarterly by the Contractor.”
· Use “shall” or “must” when writing a requirement binding on
the Contractor. Avoid “should” or “may” because they leave the
decision on appropriate action up to the Contractor.
· Be consistent when using terminology. Use the same word to
mean the same thing throughout your SOW. Avoid using
different words to indicate the same type of action.
· Avoid redundancy. At best, requiring the Contractor to do the
same thing in different parts of the SOW will add needless
words to the SOW. At worst, there may be subtle differences in
the requirements that may lead to a dispute during contract
performance.
· Avoid vague or inexact phrases and generalizations.
· Avoid catchall and open-ended phrases, such as, “is common
practice in the industry,” “as directed,” or “subject to
approval.” If you want to give the Contractor an opportunity to
use their standard commercial practices, require each offeror to
identify its commercial practices in a proposal and then include
that proposal as part of the order/contract.
· Define technical terms.
· Only use “any,” “either,” “and/or,” “etc.” when allowing the
Contractor to select an alternative.
· Identify the date or version of any document referenced in
your SOW.
· Advise readers from industry where they can obtain referenced
documents.

Mock Job Interview Assignment – MGT4303 (15%)
This assignment will help you prepare yourself for your next
job hunt by developing and applying interview skills. In
particular, you will get used to being assessed by a panel of
interviewers (an increasingly common approach!). You will also
have a chance to observe others’ interviews and learn from their
strengths and weaknesses. A description of the job you are
applying for has been posted on Blackboard in the Assignments
section. You will be graded using the rubric on page 2 of this
document.
Directions:
You will sign up for an interview team on the Interview Wiki on
Blackboard.
Each team will have five members and will have a timeslot in
Weeks 12 or 13.
Everyone should dress in professional interview attire.
In each team, every member will be interviewed once by a panel
of the other members.
The interviewers will start by asking the interviewee to tell
them a bit about him/herself. The interviewee will then
introduce him or herself using the positioning pitch developed
in the Beyond a Resume Worksheet.
The panel will then ask the following three questions
a. What special aspects of your education or training have
prepared you for this job?
b. Tell me about a time when you solved a difficult problem.
c. Tell me about one or two of your most important
accomplishments.
They will also ask two other questions from the Interviewing
Chapter Reading (p. 394-396), which will be chosen by the
professor at the time of the interview.
The interviews will take about 5 minutes each.
There will be a short debrief at the end of each interview. Be
prepared to tell each interviewee one thing they did well and
one thing they could improve.

Job interview
Hello, today I will be discussing an interesting topic that almost
important to everyone; the topic I am going to talk about today
is job interview. After that, I am going to tell you about the
interview I had last week, and give my feedback on the
interviewer.
To begin with, job interview is an essential key for an applicant
to join a team work or to get accepted to work in a company. An
interview in general is a type of communication and questioning
between two people or more such as hirer and an applicant in
order to get accepted to hire a position in a company. There are
several different questions will be asked and many topics will
be discussed in any interview between the hirer and the
applicant or the candidate. Those questions or topics are related
to the position that would be hired or about the applicant
experience.
However, I was interviewed by a graduated Human Resources
Management’s student last week to hire a data analyst position.
The interview went very well; it was easy and did not take too
long. To be honest, I was nervous and afraid that I will not be
able to answer most of the questions very well. As a second
language speaker of English, sometimes I think that I do not
speak English very good when talking to people who I do not
know. But when I just saw the interviewer in front of the
meeting room, she was smiling to me and shook my hand, as a
result, this made me feeling comfortable and relaxed during the
meeting. The interviewer and I dressed suits and were well-
prepared for the interview. Then, the interviewer began the
interview by asking me about myself. Afterward, I was asked
about some skills that I have mentioned in my CV; those skills
are some computer software that has a relation to the job
position such as Microsoft Office Database, Microsoft Office
Suite, Excel, and SAP. In addition, the interviewer gave me
some examples of problems that could happen in working
environment and asked me how I would handle those problems.
In conclusion, I was very happy at the end of the interview
because I was satisfied with my answers. In my opinion, the
student who interviewed is a professional and did a very good
job and I really liked her behaviour.

SOW Language Tips: A variety of people with different perspectives and life experiences will read your SOW. Readers can typically include Government and industry contracting personnel, managers, technical experts, accountants and lawyers. All these readers need to understand the SOW in a clear and concise manner; therefore, language selection is very important. Below are tips that you should consider when reviewing the
  • 11.
    SOW: · Use simplewords, phrases, and sentences whenever practical. · Be concise, precise, and consistent. Keep sentences short and to the point. Normally the longer the sentence, the harder it is to understand. · Use verbs in the active voice. A verb is in the active voice when it expresses an action performed by its subject. For example, “The Contractor shall report contract progress quarterly.” Conversely, avoid using verbs in the passive voice. A verb is in the passive voice when it expresses an action performed upon its subject or when the subject is the result of the action. For example, “Contract progress shall be reported quarterly by the Contractor.” · Use “shall” or “must” when writing a requirement binding on the Contractor. Avoid “should” or “may” because they leave the decision on appropriate action up to the Contractor. · Be consistent when using terminology. Use the same word to mean the same thing throughout your SOW. Avoid using different words to indicate the same type of action. · Avoid redundancy. At best, requiring the Contractor to do the same thing in different parts of the SOW will add needless words to the SOW. At worst, there may be subtle differences in the requirements that may lead to a dispute during contract performance. · Avoid vague or inexact phrases and generalizations. · Avoid catchall and open-ended phrases, such as, “is common practice in the industry,” “as directed,” or “subject to approval.” If you want to give the Contractor an opportunity to use their standard commercial practices, require each offeror to identify its commercial practices in a proposal and then include that proposal as part of the order/contract.

    · Define technicalterms. · Only use “any,” “either,” “and/or,” “etc.” when allowing the Contractor to select an alternative. · Identify the date or version of any document referenced in your SOW. · Advise readers from industry where they can obtain referenced documents. 1 PAGE 4 Procurement & Contract Mgmt –Unit IV Mini Project Unit IV Mini Project Statement of Work Click here to retrieve the Statement of Work Template.

    Directions: You will signup for an interview team on the Interview Wiki on Blackboard. Each team will have five members and will have a timeslot in Weeks 12 or 13. Everyone should dress in professional interview attire. In each team, every member will be interviewed once by a panel of the other members. The interviewers will start by asking the interviewee to tell them a bit about him/herself. The interviewee will then introduce him or herself using the positioning pitch developed in the Beyond a Resume Worksheet. The panel will then ask the following three questions a. What special aspects of your education or training have prepared you for this job? b. Tell me about a time when you solved a difficult problem. c. Tell me about one or two of your most important accomplishments. They will also ask two other questions from the Interviewing Chapter Reading (p. 394-396), which will be chosen by the professor at the time of the interview. The interviews will take about 5 minutes each. There will be a short debrief at the end of each interview. Be prepared to tell each interviewee one thing they did well and one thing they could improve.

OVERALL possible 20 pts 1 Last Blog Entry - Student name: Saiaf Bareem Job interview Hello, today I will be discussing an interesting topic that almost important to everyone; the topic I am going to talk about today is job interview. After that, I am going to tell you about the interview I had last week, and give my feedback on the interviewer. To begin with, job interview is an essential key for an applicant to join a team work or to get accepted to work in a company. An interview in general is a type of communication and questioning between two people or more such as hirer and an applicant in order to get accepted to hire a position in a company. There are several different questions will be asked and many topics will be discussed in any interview between the hirer and the

    applicant or thecandidate. Those questions or topics are related to the position that would be hired or about the applicant experience. However, I was interviewed by a graduated Human Resources Management’s student last week to hire a data analyst position. The interview went very well; it was easy and did not take too long. To be honest, I was nervous and afraid that I will not be able to answer most of the questions very well. As a second language speaker of English, sometimes I think that I do not speak English very good when talking to people who I do not know. But when I just saw the interviewer in front of the meeting room, she was smiling to me and shook my hand, as a result, this made me feeling comfortable and relaxed during the meeting. The interviewer and I dressed suits and were well- prepared for the interview. Then, the interviewer began the interview by asking me about myself. Afterward, I was asked about some skills that I have mentioned in my CV; those skills are some computer software that has a relation to the job position such as Microsoft Office Database, Microsoft Office Suite, Excel, and SAP. In addition, the interviewer gave me some examples of problems that could happen in working environment and asked me how I would handle those problems. In conclusion, I was very happy at the end of the interview because I was satisfied with my answers. In my opinion, the student who interviewed is a professional and did a very good job and I really liked her behaviour.
