While the SERO establishes the primary geographical area of responsibility for this contract, it is not limited to only Army customers. The Contractor may be required to perform tasks on-site or at their own facilities.

Task orders may use performance-based work statements (PWSs). A PWS structures all aspects of an acquisition around the purpose of the work to be performed and does not dictate how the work is to be accomplished. It is written to ensure that contractors are given the freedom to determine how to meet the Government’s performance objectives and provides for payment only when the results meet or exceed these objectives. It maximizes contractor control of work processes and allows for innovation in approaching various work requirements. A PWS emphasizes performance that can be contractually defined so that the results of the contractor’s effort can be measured in terms of technical and quality achievement, schedule progress, or cost performance.

The goal of Performance-Based Acquisition (PBA) is to:

a. Save money by reducing contract costs from elimination of unnecessary effort, through innovation by the contractor, and also by reducing Government surveillance.
