Therefore, the Contractor shall be restricted in its future contracting in the manner described below.

This type of information includes but is not limited to:

• Proprietary information that was obtained from a government representative;

• Source selection information that is relevant to the requirement being solicited, but is not available to all competitors; or

• Any substantive information regarding the requirement that is not equally available or provided to other potential vendors when such information would assist that Contractor in being awarded a contract. This information includes but is not limited to financial, budgetary, or procurement forecasting information.
