That is so true about the SOW.  The government is notoriously bad in writing SOWs.  And there is a lot of pressure to put everyting on firm fiexed price contracts now, so the contractors are going to bid the worst case scenerio, so they don't lose money.  

What I find somewhat amusing is that Norm Augustine wrote his book about government acquisition way back in the day, after he was the USD for Acquisition and it hasn't changed all that much.
