Portuguese to English translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / contract

Portuguese term or phrase: ostensivo

This term appears at the top of each page of an offset contract for goods and services between a Brazilian government entity and a civilian company. Any guesses? I was thinking maybe it could be a classification of the document...

Explanation:
Your instinct was right - it's the security classification of the document. See this:

"SIGILO
Grau de sigilo das aerofotos que trata o Capítulo VI - seção II das Instruções Reguladoras de Aerolevantamentos (Decreto 2.278 de 17/07/97 Portaria 0637 SC-6/FA-61 de 05/03/98)
Ostensivo:
De uso geral e sem restrições no uso da informação fotográfica.
Reservado/Confidencial:
O uso de produto de aerolevantamento é submetido à apreciação e aprovação do Ministério da Defesa."

Ostensibly

Explanation:
ostensibly means from appearances alone or in a manner that is declared or pretended

Depending on the context it could mean doubtlessly or evidently, as an affirmation of what is known or suspected.

I would like to see a bit of the context. That will provide the most accurate clue.

Explanation:
In the U.S. government security context, this is how documents freely available to all are labeled - although not all documents need be labeled with ANY classification, of course. And the word should be given in initial caps, as I wrote it.
