Proposed RFO Rule Would Create Procurement Integrity-Specific Process for Protecting or Releasing Contractors’ Proprietary Information

Short summary

The FAR Council proposed revisions to FAR Part 3 as part of the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul process, including a new procurement integrity-specific process for handling contractor proprietary markings on bid and proposal information. Contractors may need to justify proposal markings and should consider using solicitation Q&As, agency engagement, protests, or claims depending on timing. The proposed rule retains core procurement integrity, conflict-of-interest, and anti-kickback provisions while streamlining administrative text.
