Performance specification:
1. When the end goal or desired outcome is clearly defined, but the specific methods or materials to achieve that goal are flexible. In this case, a performance specification allows for innovation and creativity in meeting the desired performance criteria.
2. When the product or service being procured is complex and specialized, and the buyer may not have the technical expertise to specify detailed requirements. A performance specification allows the buyer to focus on the desired performance outcomes, leaving the technical details to the supplier.
Conformance specification:
1. When the product or service being procured is standardized and well-defined, and there is little room for variation in performance. In this case, a conformance specification ensures that all suppliers are providing the same level of quality and meeting the same standards.
2. When the buyer has specific technical requirements or standards that must be met in order to ensure compatibility or interoperability with existing systems or processes. A conformance specification allows the buyer to clearly communicate these requirements to suppliers and ensure that they are met.
