About this file
This is a Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information form submitted by a bidder to the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Enterprise Operations, in response to Bid/Proposal #PA180734 for the processing of USDA bulk cheese into macaroni and cheese with whole grain pasta for distribution to Wisconsin schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. The bidder is requesting that specific pages of their bid response be treated as confidential material under Wisconsin's Open Records Law and trade secret protections. The form requires the bidder to identify which pages contain proprietary information qualifying as trade secrets, defined as information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy.
The bidder acknowledges that pricing information cannot be kept confidential as it becomes public when bids are opened, and agrees to provide legal counsel and defend any challenged confidentiality designations while holding the state harmless from associated costs or damages. The form emphasizes that failure to properly submit the DOA-3027 form with the bid response may result in all submitted information being subject to public examination and copying, and that other confidentiality markings in the bid document alone are considered insufficient. The bidder must have an authorized representative sign and date the form, certifying agreement to these terms and conditions.

DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The attached material submitted in response to Bid/Proposal #PA180734 includes proprietary and confidential information which qualifies as a trade secret, as provided in s. 19.36(5), Wis. Stats., or is otherwise material that can be kept confidential under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. As such, we ask that certain pages, as indicated below, of this bid/proposal response be treated as confidential material and not be released without our written approval.
Prices always become public information when bids/proposals are opened, and therefore cannot be kept confidential.
Other information cannot be kept confidential unless it is a trade secret. Trade secret is defined in s. 134.90(1)(c), Wis. Stats. as follows: "Trade secret" means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique or process to which all of the following apply:
1.
The information derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use.
2.
The information is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances.
We request that the following pages not be released.

In the event the designation of confidentiality of this information is challenged, the undersigned hereby agrees to provide legal counsel or other necessary assistance to defend the designation of confidentiality and agrees to hold the state harmless for any costs or damages arising out of the state's agreeing to withhold the materials.
Failure to include this form in the bid/proposal response may mean that all information provided as part of the bid/proposal response will be open to examination and copying. The state considers other markings of confidential in the bid/proposal document to be insufficient. The undersigned agrees to hold the state harmless for any damages arising out of the release of any materials unless they are specifically identified above.
