The correct answer is C. Contract. Once the vendor's deliverables are verified against the SOW, the contract governs the formal next steps such as payment, invoicing, and contract closure.

Why each option
Once the vendor's deliverables are verified against the SOW, the contract governs the formal next steps such as payment, invoicing, and contract closure.
The procurement management plan describes how procurement activities will be conducted throughout the project but does not contain the specific contractual obligations triggered by work completion.
The Statement of Work was already used to verify the completed work and does not govern post-completion actions such as payment or formal closure.
The contract is the legally binding document that specifies the terms for payment, acceptance, and formal closeout procedures that come into effect once work is confirmed complete. The SOW defines what must be delivered, but the contract dictates what both parties must do after delivery is accepted, including releasing final payments and closing the procurement relationship.
The project management plan is a high-level document covering overall project execution and does not contain vendor-specific payment and closeout terms.
Concept tested: Contract governance during procurement closure
