Acquisition Planning. Category One – Specifications/Scope of Work Review After a need is determined, the quality, price and the performance of a product or service depend almost entirely on the purchase description used to communicate the requirement. If a specification was used as a method of describing the requirement, which mostly happens for services, that specification must be clear and concise. Challenges by potential suppliers, costly delays in completing a project or unnecessary problems further down the line are, in most instances, attributed to an improper, inadequate description of definition or requirements. The additional effort spent at the beginning of the procurement lifecycle increases the probability of full satisfaction in meeting the needs of the end-user, procurement and contract specialist and Contractor/supplier. This category of services is for the review and/or assistance in development of a scope of work (SOW) or specification(s). If not available in-house, the technical specification development by a subject-matter-expert shall be obtained/contracted by the awarded Contractor(s) for this category. Services within this category are as follows:
