About this file
This is a Claim of Business Confidentiality form issued by the State of Oklahoma in collaboration with NASPO ValuePoint for Solicitation Number EV00000871, which concerns Emerging Technologies Consulting and Services. The document serves as a template for offerors to declare whether they are claiming any information within their proposals as confidential, proprietary, or protected. Offerors must elect one of two options: either certify that no information is being claimed as confidential, or complete a detailed table identifying specific proposal sections, descriptions of confidential information, and the basis for each confidentiality claim in accordance with Oklahoma Administrative Code 260: 115-3-9. The form requires offerors who claim confidential information to submit a redacted copy of their proposal clearly marked as such.
The form establishes specific requirements for confidentiality claims, mandating that offerors specifically identify what information is confidential, enumerate the applicable legal grounds supporting exemption from disclosure, and explain why disclosure would not be in the public interest if the information is incorporated into an awarded contract. Offerors are explicitly prohibited from marking pricing or their entire proposal as confidential. The document includes a signature section where the offeror certifies under penalty of perjury that all representations are true and correct. The form clarifies that submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protection from disclosure under applicable public information laws and that failure to comply with confidentiality submission requirements releases the State of Oklahoma, NASPO, NASPO members, and multistate team entities from any obligation to maintain confidentiality.
