About this file

This is a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit for RFP S-47100-00015639 submitted to the State of Oregon Employment Department, Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH), for Telephonic Interpretation Services. The affidavit serves as a sworn statement by an authorized representative of an offeror, confirming that the offeror has submitted a proposal in response to the solicitation and that certain information contained within the offer 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 completion of Exhibit A, in which offerors identify specific information they claim is exempt from disclosure, along with the legal basis for such exemption.

The affidavit establishes two primary categories of information eligible for exemption: formulas, plans, patterns, processes, tools, mechanisms, compounds, procedures, production data, or compilations of information that are not patented, known only to specific individuals within the offeror's organization, possess commercial value, and provide competitive advantage; and information such as drawings, cost data, customer lists, formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, or processes that derive independent economic value from non-disclosure and are subject to reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy. The affidavit must be notarized and signed by an authorized employee with knowledge of the procurement and authority to execute the document on behalf of the offeror. The document acknowledges that ultimate determination of exemption status may depend on official or judicial review pursuant to Oregon's Public Records Law.

RFP S-47100-00015639 – Telephonic Interpretation Services

ATTACHMENT B — DISCLOSURE EXEMPTION AFFIDAVIT

______________________________ [Affiant], being first duly sworn under oath, and representing _________________________[Offer Name] (hereafter “Offeror”), hereby deposes and swears or affirms under penalty of perjury that:

1. I am an employee of the Offeror, I have knowledge of the Intermediate Procurement referenced herein, and I have full authority from the Offeror to submit this affidavit and accept the responsibilities stated herein.

2. I am aware that the Offeror has submitted an Offer, dated on or about ________________[insert date] (the “Offer”), to the State of Oregon (State) in response to Intermediate Procurement RFP S- 47100-00015639, for Telephonic Interpretation Services, and I am familiar with the contents of the Intermediate Procurement and Offer.

3. 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 Offer 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.

4. I have reviewed the information contained in the Offer. The Offeror 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. A formula, plan, pattern, process, tool, mechanism, compound, procedure, production data, or compilation of information that:

i. is not patented,

ii. is known only to certain individuals within the Offeror’s organization and that is used in a business the Offeror conducts,

iii. has actual or potential commercial value, and

iv. gives its user an opportunity to obtain a business advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.

or

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

i. 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

ii. Is the subject of efforts by the Offeror that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

5. 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.
