Phase III of the CSO process is the Request for CSP. Offerors must ensure that the CSP is valid for at least 180 days from the submission date.
The CSP must be prepared in three separate Volumes as follows: Volume I Technical and Volume II Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Volume III Price. Each volume may have its separate related attachments. The Army reserves the right to request additional volumes as needed. NOTE: Failure to submit CSP in the correct three-volume format will result in immediate and final removal from further consideration.
(a) Technical Proposal: The Technical Proposal page limitation shall be limited to 10 pages. The page limitation covers all information including indices, photographs, foldouts (counted as 1 page for each 8.5 by 11-inch portion) tables, charts, appendices, attachments, resumes, etc. Environmental documentation provided will not count towards the 10-page limitation. The document must be provided in Microsoft Word. Signed pages may be submitted in Adobe.

Pages shall be single-spaced (must use standard single-space function in Microsoft Word), 8.5 by 11 inches, with at least one-inch margins on both sides, top and bottom. All text, excluding text in tables and charts (single-spaced), must adhere to all font size and line spacing requirements listed herein. Font and line spacing requirements do not have to be followed for illustrations, flowcharts, drawings, and diagrams. These exceptions shall not be used to circumvent formatting requirements and page count limitations by including lengthy narratives in such items.
