About this file
This is a Designation of Confidential and Proprietary Information form submitted by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of Enterprise Operations, in response to Bid/Proposal #PA180735 for cheese slices processing on behalf of the Department of Public Instruction. The form identifies pages within the bid response that contain proprietary and confidential information qualifying as trade secrets under Wisconsin Statutes § 19.36(5) and § 134.90(1)(c). The bidder requests that specified pages be withheld from public disclosure, with the understanding that pricing information cannot be kept confidential as it becomes public upon bid opening. The form requires the bidder to identify specific sections and page numbers of materials to be protected and establishes that the bidder will provide legal defense and hold the state harmless for any costs or damages resulting from the state's agreement to withhold designated materials.
The form emphasizes that failure to submit the DOA-3027 form with the bid response may result in all information becoming subject to public examination and copying under the Wisconsin Open Records Law. Trade secret protection is limited to information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain secrecy. The bidder assumes liability for any damages arising from the release of materials not specifically identified on this form. This document serves as the formal mechanism for protecting confidential business information in the competitive bidding process for USDA bulk cheese processing into cheese slices for distribution to Wisconsin schools participating in the National School Lunch Program.

DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The attached material submitted in response to Bid/Proposal #PA180735 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.
