  "definition": "A type of statement of work that is used in performance-based contract acquisitions. The PWS describes the work to be performed by the contractor in terms of measurable outcomes rather than prescribing the method to perform the services. The PWS identifies to the contractor what needs to be done, not how to do it. This affords contractors latitude to employ ingenuity and creativity in meeting Agency requirements.",
