MIL-HDBK-502: ACQUISITIONALOGISTICSto determine if or when there has been an increase in scope, and effectivenegotiations on cost and schedule will be impaired, if not rendered impossible.Statement of Objectives (SOO)The statement of objectives (currently being used by the Air Force) statesbasic, top-level objectives of an acquisition and is provided in an requestfor proposal (RFP) in lieu of a government-written statement of work. Itallows potential offerors to develop cost-effective solutions and gives themthe opportunity to propose innovative alternatives to meeting the statedobjectives. A statement of objectives is required for all Air Force weaponsystems acquisition contracts and is strongly encouraged for modificationsto existing weapon system acquisition contracts. The program managerapproves SOOs.The statement of objectives should be compatible with the mission needstatement, operational requirement document, program managementdirective, acquisition strategy panel guidance, technical requirementsdocuments or specifications, and the preliminary contract work breakdownstructure. The statement of objectives should address product-orientedgoals rather than performance-oriented requirements. It should not belonger than four pages (as a goal).The SOO is typically appended to Part L of the RFP (Instructions,Conditions and Notices to Offerors). It does not become part of thecontract.The offerors use the statement of objectives to develop a statement ofwork, final contract work breakdown structure, integrated master plan,integrated master schedule, and other documents required by the RFP.Section L should include instructions that require all offerors to address allaspects of the statement of objectives in their proposals.What is the program impact of the use of SOOs? Program offices will nolonger be required to create statements of work. Any specific tasking thecontractor must accomplish in the performance of the contract that is notelsewhere in the RFP should be included in section L.8.4.4 Section D: Packaging and MarkingSection D sets forth the packaging and marking needs for deliverable items.Inputs are prepared according to DoD packaging and marking policies andare cross-referenced to Section B CLINs. The transportation, handling, andmarking needs of warranted items must be identified. Consider requiringthe contractor to provide a notice of warranty with the item(s) on theoutside of the container, inside the container, and on the equipment item.The notice should include:• A statement that a warranty exists.8-9
MIL-HDBK-502: ACQUISITIONALOGISTICS• A description of the substance of the warranty.• The duration of the warranty.• Who is to be notified if the warranty is invoked.After a review of the logistics concept, any unusual packaging or markingneeds should be determined.8.4.5 Section E: Inspection and AcceptanceSection E details the location of all inspection and acceptance points. Theseprovisions will be cross-referenced to each CLIN, special contractprovision, or SOW/SOO provisions developed. Logistics coverage in thissection is limited by the number of logistics CLINs. Review is required,however, to determine the need for any unusual inspection or acceptancepoints for logistics items.8.4.6 Section F: Deliveries or PerformanceDelivery or performance provisions are identified for each deliverable itemof supply or service listed in Section B. The provisions of Section Fspecify:• Time of delivery or performance• Place and method of delivery or performance• Period (duration) of warranty coverage (if a warranty is listed inSection B)The logistician must make sure that the solicitation delivery dates correlatewith the support plan (acquisition logistics) and logistics network and thatthey support program objectives.8.4.7 Section G: Contract Administration DataSection G shows the interface between the contractor and the governmentfor administrative matters. Normally logistics inputs are not required in thissection; however, if necessary, the acquisition logistician may includespecial administrative needs here.8.4.8 Section H: Special Contract RequirementsSection H is extremely important because it contains special and uniqueclauses applying to the contract. It is used for including provisions that arenot appropriate to be applied in other sections, for tying multiple contractstogether or for requiring special emphasis. Give careful consideration tothese special clauses because of their possible effect on the cost andadministration of the contract. Special provisions often result in higherprices to cover the additional risk to the offerors. These provisions must8-10
