AI-assisted drafting for SOWs, SOOs, and PWSs.

SOWrite helps federal acquisition teams turn early-stage requirements into clear, complete acquisition documents. Whether you need a Statement of Work, a Statement of Objectives, or a Performance Work Statement, SOWrite asks the questions a seasoned acquisition specialist would ask, captures the answers, and generates a structured document ready for inclusion in an RFP package.

SOWrite workflow: describe your acquisition, AI recommends a document type (SOW, SOO, or PWS), and generate the document
The Challenge

Drafting a clear SOW is harder than it should be.

Most SOWs start the same way. A program office knows what it needs but doesn't yet know how to write it down in the structure an RFP demands. Acquisition specialists chase down missing details over weeks of email and meetings. Requirements arrive incomplete, contradictory, or wrapped inside attachments that nobody has time to read. By the time the document is ready for the contracting officer, the schedule is tight, the language is uneven, and the gaps that get caught later become amendments, questions from potential suppliers, or scope problems on the back end.

SOWrite was built for this part of the work. It gives requirements owners a structured place to start, runs an AI-guided clarification process that surfaces the missing pieces before they become problems, and generates an acquisition document that is consistent in format, complete in coverage, and traceable back to the requirements that produced it.

It is the natural companion to Scorify. SOWrite helps you write a better RFP. Scorify helps you evaluate the proposals that come back.

The traditional process (weeks of email, scattered requirements, gaps, uneven language, rework) vs. with SOWrite (guided clarification, one working record, completeness checks, consistent output, audit trail)
How SOWrite Works

From a blank page to a finished document, in a workflow your team already uses.

SOWrite walks an acquisition team through four connected stages. Each stage produces an artifact that feeds the next, so nothing is lost between handoffs and every decision is captured in the audit trail.

01

Choose your document type

Every project in SOWrite starts with a single decision: SOW, SOO, or PWS. If you already know what you need, you select it and move on. If you're not sure, simply describe what you need to accomplish and SOWrite recommends a document type with a short explanation of why it fits. You can accept or override. The choice is yours, the rationale is captured in the audit trail.

02

Capture initial requirements

Requirements owners enter what they know through structured input forms or upload existing documents. SOWrite accepts PDF, DOCX, and XLSX files, extracts the requirements language, and brings everything into a single working record tied to a specific RFP.

03

AI-assisted clarification

The platform analyzes what has been captured, identifies gaps and ambiguities specific to the document type you selected, and generates clarification questions in the voice of an experienced acquisition specialist. The user answers one question at a time. Answers feed back into the requirements record. Every question, answer, and refinement is captured in the audit log.

04

Generate your document

Once requirements are complete, SOWrite generates your SOW, SOO, or PWS using a federal-format template tuned to the document type. The document is reviewable in preview, editable before final export, and downloadable as DOCX or PDF. SOW versions are tracked over time so you can compare drafts or roll back changes.

Security & Compliance

Federal-grade by design, not by retrofit.

SOWrite was built for federal use from the first line of code by a team dedicated to serving federal agencies. That shows up in the security model, the data handling, and the compliance posture.

Sensitive data stays protected

All content uploaded into SOWrite is treated as Controlled Unclassified Information by default. Files live in encrypted private storage and are accessed only through signed URLs. Before any requirement excerpt reaches the AI service, it passes through extraction and redaction layers designed to strip PII and other sensitive content. Full unredacted files are never sent to the model.

Identity-aware access control

Access is mediated by an identity-aware proxy with zero-trust controls. Every request is authenticated before it reaches the application. Role-based access control governs what each user can do: viewers can read documents, requirement managers can capture requirements and run QA sessions, and admins manage users and configuration.

Comprehensive audit logging

Every state change in SOWrite generates an append-only audit log entry. Action, actor, timestamp, and the affected record are all captured. Logs export to government-standard SIEM platforms, and audit data can be retained on write-once storage with retention lock for tamper resistance.

Aligned with federal compliance frameworks

SOWrite is designed to support FISMA Moderate and aligns with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. The architecture is compatible with FedRAMP Moderate baseline controls when deployed in a customer's authorized cloud environment.

Who It's For

Built for the people who write the requirements and the people who shepherd them into RFPs.

Requirements owners and program managers

The people who know what the agency needs but spend more time than they should translating that knowledge into acquisition-ready language. SOWrite gives them a structured starting point, asks the right follow-up questions, and produces a document they can hand to acquisition with confidence.

Contracting officers and acquisition specialists

The people responsible for turning requirements into a defensible, executable RFP package. SOWrite reduces the back-and-forth, surfaces gaps before they become amendments, and produces a SOW with a complete audit trail ready for the contract file.

Acquisition leadership and policy

The people accountable for cycle time, quality, and consistency across an acquisition portfolio. SOWrite gives them a tool that standardizes how requirements are captured, how completeness is verified, and how SOW documents are produced across the workforce.

Portfolio

SOWrite and Scorify are designed to work together.

A federal acquisition has two halves. SOWrite lives in the first, helping your team write the RFP. Scorify lives in the second, helping your team evaluate the proposals that come back. Used together, they create a closed loop where the structure that goes out the door is the same structure that comes back in.

FAQ

Common questions about SOWrite.

Where does the data we put into SOWrite go?
SOWrite is designed to deploy in your agency's authorized cloud environment, under your governance, with your identity controls. Files uploaded to SOWrite live in encrypted private storage and are accessed only through signed URLs. Before any requirement excerpt is sent to the AI service, it passes through extraction and redaction layers that remove PII and other sensitive content. Full unredacted files are never sent to the model.
Does SOWrite replace our acquisition workforce?
No. SOWrite is designed to make acquisition staff faster and more consistent, not to replace them. Every meaningful decision in the workflow — from document type selection to final SOW content — is made by a human user. The AI proposes, the human decides. Every action is logged in an audit trail.
What document formats does SOWrite generate?
SOWrite produces SOWs, SOOs, and PWSs in DOCX and PDF. Documents use a federal-format template tuned to the document type, with variable substitution from the requirements you have captured. Generated documents are reviewable in preview, editable before final export, and version-tracked over time.
What file types can we upload as input?
PDF, DOCX, and XLSX. SOWrite extracts the requirements language from uploaded files and brings everything into a single working record tied to a specific RFP.
Can SOWrite be deployed on contract vehicles we already use?
SOWrite is being positioned for federal acquisition through GSA Multiple Award Schedule and other vehicles relevant to your agency. Contact us to discuss the right path for your acquisition.
How does SOWrite handle audit and compliance requirements?
Every state change in SOWrite generates an append-only audit log entry. Action, actor, timestamp, and the affected record are all captured.
