#4 When HHS in 2011 invited contractors to bid on the chance to build HealthCare.gov, the department's "statement of work" did not include requirements typical of many IT contracts in which interested companies must spell out how the system would perform, according to an industry representative close to the project.

SAMPLE Work Requirements

Here the Statement of Work (SOW) should include a description of the actual tasks which the project will require. This should include what tasks need to be completed in order for successful completion of this project/contract. As with all other portions of the SOW, every effort should be made to include as much detail as possible.

As part of the Website Redesign Project the vendor will be responsible for performing tasks throughout various stages of this project. The following is a list of these tasks which will result in the successful completion of this project:

Kickoff:
Vendor will create and present detailed project plan including schedule, WBS, testing plan, implementation plan, training plan, and transition plan
Vendor will present project plan to SCG for review and approval

Design Phase:
Work with SCG to gather requirements and establish metrics
Create site design based on collected requirements
Develop site design proposal for SCG review and approval
Present written status at weekly meeting

Build Phase:
Vendor will complete all coding for approved site design
Vendor will provide SCG with a detailed testing plan
Vendor will include all content provided by SCG on redesigned web site
Vendor will conduct testing in both their iLab as well as in a limited beta release
Vendor will resolve any coding and site issues identified in testing
Vendor will compile a testing report to present to SCG for review/approval
Present written status at weekly meeting

Implementation Phase:
Vendor will implement the newly redesigned web site on SCG servers
Vendor will begin providing 24x7 web site support at this point forward until the end of the period of performance
Present written status at weekly meeting

Training Phase:
Vendor will provide training in accordance with approved training plan provided in the kickoff
Present written status at weekly meeting

Project Handoff/Closure:
Vendor will provide SCG with all documentation in accordance with the approved project plan
Vendor will present project closure report to SCG for review and approval
Vendor will complete the project requirements checklist showing that all project tasks have been completed
Vendor will conclude 24x7 web support at 11:59pm on the final day of the period of performance
Present written status at weekly meeting

Schedule/Milestones

This part of the Statement of Work should define the schedule of deliverables and milestones for this project. Since the SOW often accompanies the RFP for the project, it is imperative that all milestones, tasks, and schedule information are as accurate as possible since vendors will need to consider these items in their proposals.

The below list consists of the initial milestones identified for the Website Redesign Project:

RFP/SOW Release January 2, 20xx
Vendor Selection Review February 1-28, 20xx
Vendor Selection March 1, 20xx
Period of Performance Begins March 2, 20xx

#6 ...soon enough, I suspect that "success" will be re-defined as "getting the American people talking about it..."

#7 Yeah, folks, sign up and get all your personal data hacked. Line up for a one way trip to the Muffin Monster identity shredder (no disrespect to the Monster, which is a great piece of equipment):

#8 80% at minus 10% for turning in late, and the best case scenario is a solid C-.
