What You'll Get
A complete Statement of Work (SOW) or Performance Work Statement (PWS) draft in federal acquisition style — specifying services, deliverables, performance standards, and contract requirements.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Draft a federal government Statement of Work (SOW) for [brief description of contract/grant purpose]. Federal acquisition writing style. Include sections: 1) Background and Purpose, 2) Scope of Work (specific tasks the contractor/grantee will perform), 3) Deliverables (list with descriptions and due dates/frequencies), 4) Performance Standards (how success is measured for each deliverable), 5) Period of Performance, 6) Key Personnel requirements (if applicable). Details: [paste your requirements notes]
Tips
Include specific deliverable frequencies and performance standards in your requirements notes — these are where most SOWs are too vague. Always have your contracting officer review before including in a solicitation; FAR compliance is their call, not yours.
