About this file
This is a Confidentiality Determination document issued by the Arizona Department of Administration regarding Request for Proposal #BPM005385 for Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services. The determination addresses the confidential status of documents submitted by Arizona Language and Transportation Services, Inc. (ALTS) in response to the procurement opportunity. The document outlines the state's assessment of which submitted materials qualify as trade secrets or confidential proprietary information under Arizona Revised Statutes and Administrative Code provisions.
The Arizona Department of Administration determined that seven attachments submitted by ALTS—including conformance statements, key personnel information, experience and capacity response, references, method of approach, pricing document, and offered languages—may be disclosed as they do not contain trade secrets or information not readily ascertainable through public means. Conversely, two attachments designated as confidential were approved for restricted access: financial documents extracted from PDF files and two baseline infrastructure security control documents. The determination noted that contract terms, conditions, pricing, and publicly available information are not considered confidential under Arizona procurement code, establishing that this determination remains effective unless modified or revoked.

Re: Determination of Confidential Documents Request for Proposal #BPM005385 – Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services
Dear Sahra Hirsi, 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.

· Attachment_06_Key_Personnel_ALTS
· Attachment_10_Experience_and_Capacity_Response_ALTS
· Attachment_11_References_ALTS
· Attachment_12_Method_of_Approach_ALTS
· Attachment_13_Pricing_Document_Rev_01_ALTS

· Confidential (Financial documents extracted from PDF files)
· Attachment_16_AZ_Baseline_Infrastructure_Security_Controls_ALTS
· Attachment_17_ALTS_Arizona_Baseline_Security_Controls_10.19.2023
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.
