5-HSS-26-047 - BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NUTRITION SERVICES Attachment 4 - Confidential Information Form.docx

This is a Confidential Information Form attachment for Contract No. HSS-26-047, Behavioral Health Nutrition Services, issued by the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH). The form serves as a declaration mechanism for vendors to indicate whether they are submitting any information they consider confidential or proprietary in connection with this procurement. The contract seeks to procure behavioral health nutrition services from a qualified healthcare provider capable of addressing the complex relationship between serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. By completing this form, vendors acknowledge their understanding of the Delaware Freedom of Information Act (29 Del. C. Ch. 100) and confirm the status of any information provided with their proposal submissions.

The document provides a standardized template for vendors to utilize when declaring confidential or proprietary information, with provisions allowing vendors to use additional pages if necessary while maintaining the prescribed format. The form emphasizes that vendors may only identify information as confidential or proprietary if they explicitly intend to withhold such materials from public disclosure under Delaware's freedom of information requirements. No specific pricing information, contract term details, award dates, or other substantive procurement terms are detailed within this attachment, as the form functions solely as a procedural documentation tool for managing vendor proprietary information submissions.
