About this file
This is a confidentiality determination letter issued by the Arizona Department of Administration regarding a proposal submission for Request for Proposal #BPM005385 for Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services. The letter, dated January 4, 2024, addresses Ali Alzuabidi of Arizona Languages Service LLC and outlines the department's determination regarding which documents submitted with the proposal qualify as confidential under Arizona Revised Statutes and Administrative Code provisions.
The Procurement Officer determined that most of the submitted documents designated as confidential—including conformance statements, key personnel information, experience and capacity responses, references, method of approach, pricing documents, and offered languages—may be disclosed to the public because they do not contain trade secrets or information that cannot be readily ascertained through web searches or legal means. However, two documents were determined to remain confidential: the Arizona Baseline Infrastructure Security Controls attachment and a separate Arizona Baseline Security Controls Pre-Requisite document containing financial information extracted from PDF files. The determination emphasizes that contract terms, conditions, pricing, and generally available public information are not considered confidential under Arizona procurement regulations. This determination remains effective unless subsequently modified or revoked.

Re: Determination of Confidential Documents Request for Proposal #BPM005385 – Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services
Dear Ali Alzuabidi
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.
· _Foreign_Language_Interpretation_and_Translation_Services__Attachment_05_Conformance_Statements
· _Foreign_Language_Interpretation_and_Translation_Services__Attachment_06_Key_Personnel

· _Foreign_Language_Interpretation_and_Translation_Services__Attachment_13_Pricing_Document_Rev_01 _Foreign_Language_Interpretation_and_Translation_Services__Attachment_14_Offered_Languages
The documents listed below were uploaded and designated “Confidential” in your offer, and we have determined that these documents will be kept confidential.
· _Foreign_Language_Interpretation_and_Translation_Services__Attachment_16_AZ_Baseline_Infrastructure_Security_Controls
· Attachment_07_Arizona_Languages_Service_Arizona_Baseline_Security_Controls_Pre-Requisite_final_Attachment_07
· Confidential (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.
