About this file
This is a Confidential Treatment Form issued by the State of Michigan for RFP 260000001530 concerning Uniforms and Logowear procurement. The form serves as a mandatory submission requirement with all proposals, regardless of whether bidders seek confidential treatment of their materials. Bidders must complete either Section 1, indicating no confidential treatment is requested, or Section 2, requesting confidential treatment of specified information. The form must be signed by the same individual who signed the bidder's proposal, and failure to submit a completed form results in rejection of the proposal as non-responsive.
Section 2 requires bidders to identify specific confidential materials by proposal page, section, and paragraph number, designate the information type as Trade Secret, Proprietary Financial Information, or Proprietary Information, and provide detailed legal justification for confidential treatment under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act exemptions. Bidders are prohibited from requesting confidential treatment for resumes, pricing, and marketing materials. Bidders electing Section 2 must submit a separate redacted "Public Copy" of their proposal. The State of Michigan retains final authority to determine whether designated materials qualify for exemption under applicable FOIA statutes, and the Confidential Treatment Form itself is not exempt from public disclosure. Bidders must designate a contact person authorized to respond to State inquiries regarding claimed confidential materials.
