However, the same formatting rules apply to both CSOWs, which are each limited to 10 pages. No CSOW is required for Sample Task Orders. A CD with the Microsoft Word version of your Technical/Management Proposal and the CSOWs must be submitted with the hard copies of the proposal, and must match the hard copy.
