(See Table 2.2 - Proposal Organization)

Excessively sized solicitations and proposals are costly to the offerors and unnecessarily time-consuming to evaluate.  Strive to ensure the solicitation reflects only the essential requirements.  This can be done by giving offerors clear and concise instructions for proposal preparation, tailoring statements of objectives, statements of work and specifications, eliminating unnecessary data requirements, and eliminating the request for and submission of data and information which is not germane to the selection and contract award process.
