Re: Determination of Confidential Documents Request for Proposal #BPM005385 – Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services
Dear Mr. Perera, Proposal documents are designated confidential when the material is proprietary or a trade secret and therefore not subject to disclosure. Per A.A.C. R2-7-101(52), a trade secret is “information, including a formula, pattern, device, compilation, program, method, technique, or process, that is the subject of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy and that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, as a result of not being generally known to and not being readily ascertainable by legal means”.
In accordance with A.R.S. § 41-2502 A.A.C. R2-7-10, Written Determinations and the Arizona Procurement Code R2-7-103, Confidential Information, a Procurement Officer shall, upon receipt of an Offeror’s submission of information designated as “confidential” determine whether such submission is confidential or whether the information may be disclosed. The documents listed below were uploaded and designated “Confidential” in your offer, and we have determined that the documents listed below may be disclosed. This determination was made because none of these documents contained trade secrets or information that could not be ready ascertainable by a web search, or by legal means.

· Confidential Documents (Financial documents extracted from PDF files) Please keep in mind that, in accordance with A.A.C. R2-7-103, contract terms and conditions, pricing, and information generally available to the public are not considered confidential information.
This Determination is effective and shall remain in effect unless otherwise modified or revoked.
