R2-7-103 (attached) that will allow qualifying materials to be designated as confidential and excluded from disclosure. For purposes of this process the definition of "trade secret" will be the same as that set out in A.A.C. R2-7-101(52).

103.

If the State agrees with the proposer's designation of trade secret or confidentiality and the determination is challenged, the undersigned hereby agrees to cooperate and support the defense of the determination with all interested parties, including legal counsel or other necessary assistance.

By submitting this response, the proposer agrees that the entire offer, including confidential, trade secret and proprietary information, may be shared with an evaluation committee and technical advisors during the evaluation process.
