Statement of objectives
The Statement of Objectives is one part of a Request for Proposal from the U.S. Government. The Statement of Objectives is an alternative to a government prepared Statement Of Work (SOW). A SOO provides the Government's overall objectives and the offeror's required support to achieve the contractual objectives. Offerors use the SOO as a basis for preparing a SOW which is then included as an integral part of the proposal which the government evaluates during the source selection.
