About this file

This file is an Attachment B Disclosure Exemption Affidavit for a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the State of Oregon, specifically RFP S-44300-00017134 for ongoing maintenance, enhancement, modernization, and support of ORPHEUS. The affidavit serves as a template for proposers to submit sworn statements identifying information within their proposals that they believe qualifies for exemption from public disclosure under Oregon's Public Records Law (ORS 192.311 through 192.478) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (ORS 646.461 through 646.475). The document requires an authorized employee of the proposing organization to affirm under penalty of perjury that specified information meets the criteria for trade secret protection or other statutory exemptions, with the affiant acknowledging full familiarity with the RFP contents and Oregon's disclosure requirements.

The affidavit identifies two primary categories of information eligible for exemption: trade secrets including formulas, plans, patterns, processes, tools, mechanisms, compounds, procedures, production data, and compilations of information known only to certain individuals within the organization that provide competitive business advantage; and information deriving independent economic value from non-disclosure and subject to reasonable protective measures by the proposer. The document requires notarization and references Exhibit A as the schedule for identifying specific exempt information. The affidavit acknowledges that final determination of exemption eligibility may require official or judicial review in accordance with Oregon's Public Records Law, making clear that proposer designation does not guarantee disclosure protection.

ATTACHMENT B — disclosure exemption AFFIDAVIT ____________________ (Affiant), being first duly sworn under oath, and representing [insert Proposer Name] (hereafter “Proposer”), hereby deposes and swears or affirms under penalty of perjury that:

I am an employee of the Proposer, I have knowledge of the Request for Proposals referenced herein, and I have full authority from the Proposer to submit this affidavit and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

I am aware that the Proposer has submitted a Proposal, dated on or about [insert date] (the “Proposal”), to the State of Oregon (State) in response to Request for Proposals [insert RFP #], for [insert description of RFP], and I am familiar with the contents of the RFP and Proposal.

I have read and am familiar with the provisions of Oregon’s Public Records Law, Oregon Revised Statutes (“ORS”) 192.311 through 192.478, and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted by the State of Oregon, which is set forth in ORS 646.461 through ORS 646.475. I understand that the Proposal is a public record held by a public body and is subject to disclosure under the Oregon Public Records Law unless specifically exempt from disclosure under that law.

I have reviewed the information contained in the Proposal. The Proposer believes the information listed in Exhibit A is exempt from public disclosure (collectively, the “Exempt Information”), which is incorporated herein by this reference. It is my opinion that the Exempt Information is exempt from disclosure under Oregon’s Public Records Law under the specifically designated sections as set forth in Exhibit A or constitutes “Trade Secrets” under either the Oregon Public Records Law or the Uniform Trade Secrets Act as adopted in Oregon because that information is either:

A formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information that:

is not patented, is known only to certain individuals within the Proposer’s organization and that is used in a business the Proposer conducts, has actual or potential commercial value, and gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.

or Information, including a drawing, cost data, customer list, formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process that:

Derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and Is the subject of efforts by the Proposer that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

I understand that disclosure of the information referenced in Exhibit A may depend on official or judicial determinations made in accordance with the Public Records Law.
