Thank you for you for your response and kind words. My 252.227-7013 clause is only referenced in Section I and I do not have an attachment to the contract in reference to this. So my dilemma is still the same I take no issue with USG using my data for their purposes but I do not want it to be disseminated to other contractors, who may or may not have executed NDA's, without some form of proprietary marking. This one is a tuffie!!

New to this aspect and DoD. We were a PPP -- infrastructure, O&M, IT services. I am struggling with who covered the processes development, leaning toward mixed funding, so initially government purposes rights now unlimited rights. No I am not fully grasping all of this and am quite frustrated.

Apologies, I have several clauses 52-227-1, 2, 3, 11 and 252-227-7013, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28, 34, 36 & 37.

I have a situation where my USG customer is questioning why I, a corporation, am marking my ECP Tech Props with the standard disclosure legend and has asked that I provide greater clarity to the rationale used in marking my documents. My initial reaction and response is that I must compete for my work and that my business processes are threaded throughout my documents. This USG customer has many contractors supporting them in their evaluation and decision making process and if I understand correctly some of those contractors are not comfortable reviewing our marked documents. That being said I have a Nondisclosure of Sensitive and/or Proprietary Data clause in my contract that requires all who do this type of review sign NDA's with USG and be firewalled. I asked USG to help me understand what they thought was not proprietary but instead have been tasked with writing up my position on why I do not want to remove my proprietary legends. Is there a really good reference site I can go to as I craft my position?
