GMIG’s Writing Performance Work Statements/QASP course prepares contracting and project personnel to
research, develop, write, review, and evaluate performance statements. Students are taught how to
write PWS, which has been developed for use across various contract types. GMIG instructors cover the general
functions of a PWS, its use in competitive and noncompetitive acquisitions, developing evaluation
criteria, and the role of the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and the Quality Assurance
Surveillance Plan (QASP). The course materials cover the requirements of FAR Part 37. Students are also
trained in preparing and using Statements of Objectives (SOO).
