About this file
This is a Confidentiality Determination issued by the Arizona Department of Administration regarding Request for Proposal #BPM005385 for Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services. The document addresses Language Line Services, Inc.'s submission of documents marked as confidential in their proposal response. The procurement officer determination concerns two attachments submitted by the vendor: Attachment 11 (References and References Supplement) and Attachment 14 (Languages Offered). The determination was made in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes and Administrative Code provisions governing confidential information in state procurement processes.
The Arizona Department of Administration Statewide Procurement Manager determined that neither of the two documents designated as confidential by Language Line Services qualified for confidentiality protection. The determination was based on the finding that these documents contained no trade secrets or information that could not be readily ascertained through web searches or other legal means. The procurement officer clarified that under state procurement regulations, contract terms and conditions, pricing, and publicly available information are not considered confidential. The determination was issued on January 4, 2024, and remains effective unless subsequently modified or revoked by the department.

Re: Determination of Confidential Documents Request for Proposal #BPM005385 – Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services
Dear Krystopher Brightwell, 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 11 References and References Supplement
· Attachment 14 Languages Offered
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.

Sincerely, Stephanie Stevens
