Additional Information on SOOs from acquisition.gov: The SOO is a Performance Based Acquisition requirements document. Statement of Objectives means a Government-prepared document that states the overall performance objectives. It is used in solicitations when the Government intends to provide the maximum flexibility to each offeror to propose an innovative approach. The SOO is a very short document (e.g., under ten pages) that provides the basic, high-level objectives of the acquisition. It is provided in the solicitation in lieu of a government-written performance work statement. In this approach, the contractors' proposals contain performance work statements and performance metrics and measures (which are based on their proposed solutions and existing commercial practices). The intended benefit of using a SOO is to open the acquisition up to a wider range of potential solutions. The proposed performance work statement replaces the SOO at contract award.
