About this file
This is an Attachment F form for RFP No. 26-23-TO issued by Spotsylvania County, Virginia, detailing procedures for identifying and protecting trade secrets and proprietary information from public disclosure under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Offerors submitting proposals must invoke protection under Section 2.2-4342(F) of the Code of Virginia in writing prior to or upon submission of any materials they wish to protect. Protected information must be clearly and specifically identified in the provided table, with documented reasons for withholding from disclosure. Any offeror that fails to identify protected information on the designated table releases the County from all claims related to public disclosure of such information and agrees to indemnify the County for associated costs and attorney's fees.
The form establishes that pricing information cannot be classified as proprietary or trade secrets; any attempt to classify pricing as protected will result in proposal rejection if the offeror does not withdraw the classification after being given reasonable time. By submitting a proposal, offerors acknowledge that any language seeking protection from public disclosure that is not identified on the trade secrets table is null and void and has no binding effect on the County. Offerors must check one of two boxes to indicate whether they seek protection from public disclosure or acknowledge that their submission contains trade secrets and/or proprietary information requiring identification.
