About this file
This document is a Trade Secrets or Proprietary Information Form (Form 2022-TS-PI) issued by the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) in Virginia, related to a proposal submission process. The form provides guidelines for offerors to designate confidential information within their proposals, specifically outlining that entire proposals, non-proprietary sections, or pricing details cannot be marked as trade secrets. Offerors must explicitly identify and justify any proprietary information they seek to protect from public disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
The form is part of a broader procurement process for a contract seeking a consultant or consulting firm to support international business attraction efforts in Continental Europe. The selected consultant will be responsible for identifying and initiating contact with European companies potentially interested in establishing a presence in the United States, with a particular focus on Fairfax County, Virginia. Failure to complete the form correctly may result in proposal rejection, and any unprotected information will be subject to public inspection consistent with applicable law.
