All interested entities (e.g. companies, non-profit organizations, and academic institutes), regardless of size are encouraged to respond to this Request for Information. All material submitted in response must be unclassified and properly marked. GENERAL INFORMATION: The Government appreciates the time and effort taken to respond to this market survey. The Government acknowledges its obligations under 18 U.S.C. 1905 to protect information qualifying as "confidential" under this statute. [To avoid possible confusion with the meaning of the term "confidential" in the context of classified information, we will use the term,"PROPRIETARY".] Pursuant to this statute, the Government is willing to accept any PROPRIETARY (e.g., trade secret) restrictions place on qualifying data forwarded in response to the survey questions and to protect it from unauthorized disclosure subject to the following: Clearly and conspicuously mark qualifying data with the restrictive legend (all caps) "PROPRIETARY" with any explanatory text, so that the Government is clearly notified of what data needs to be appropriately protected. In marking such data, please take care to mark only those portions of the date or materials that are truly proprietary (excessive breadth in marking inappropriate data as "PROPRIETARY" may diminish or eliminate the usefulness of your response - see item 6 below). Use circling, underscoring, highlighting or any other appropriate means to indicate those portions of a single page which are to be protected. The Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Additionally, marked data that is already in the public domain or in the possession of the Government or third parties, or is afterward placed in to the public domain by the owner or another party through no fault of the Government will not be protected once in the public domain. Data already in the possession of the Government will be protected in accordance with the Government's rights in the data. Proprietary data transmitted electronically whether by physical media or not, whether by the respondent or by the government shall contain the "PROPRIETARY" legend with any explanatory text on both the cover of the transmittal e-mail and at the beginning of the file itself. Where appropriate, when only portions of an electronic file are proprietary, use the restrictive legends "PROPRIETARY PORTION ENDS." In any reproductions of technical data or any portions thereof subject to asserted restrictions, the government shall also reproduce the asserted restriction legend and any explanatory text.
