Section C of a federal solicitation or contract defines the government’s technical and functional requirements for the supplies or services being acquired. Under the Uniform Contract Format, this section typically contains a Statement of Work (SOW), Performance Work Statement (PWS), Statement of Objectives (SOO), or detailed technical specifications that describe the required work, deliverables, performance standards, and applicable technical or regulatory requirements. Section C serves as the primary basis for preparing technical proposals, evaluating contractor performance, and administering the contract, making it one of the most critical sections of both the solicitation and the resulting contract.
