12-11. CONFIDENTIAL PROPRIETARY SUBMITTAL FORM.docx

This is a Confidential Proprietary Submittal Form from Scottsdale Unified School District #48 in Arizona for RFP #26004 concerning Ancillary Employee Benefits. The form serves as a declaration mechanism for bidders to identify any confidential or proprietary materials included in their bid submissions. The district requests that bidders mark whether no confidential/proprietary materials have been included or specify which portions of their bid are deemed confidential or proprietary. Bidders must understand that identification of materials as confidential does not guarantee protection from disclosure but subjects such items to review by both the bidder and the district prior to any public release. The form requires submission of a complete redacted copy of the bid response with confidential/proprietary materials removed; failure to submit this redacted copy may result in denial of the confidentiality request. The bid submission deadline is January 23, 2026.

The form explicitly prohibits requests to deem the entire bid or price as confidential. Bidders must provide their company name, printed name and title of the authorized representative, date of submission, and authorized signature on the form. This standard administrative document reflects the district's commitment to transparency while allowing vendors to protect legitimate business information during the procurement process.
