(1) “Trade Secret” means an unpatented, secret, commercially valuable plan, appliance, formula, or process, which is used for making, preparing, compounding, treating or processing articles or materials which are trade commodities.

(2) “Confidential commercial or financial information” means any business information (other than trade secrets) which is exempt from the mandatory disclosure requirement of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552. Exemptions from mandatory disclosure which may be applicable to business information contained in quotations include exemption (4), which covers “commercial and financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential,” and exemption (9), which covers “geological and geophysical information, including maps, concerning wells.”

(b) If the vendor, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the quotation contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the quotation shall be marked with the following legend:

“The information specifically identified on pages ______ of this quotation constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the vendor believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The vendor requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The vendor also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the quotation, except that if a contract is awarded to the vendor as a result of or in connection with the submission of the quotation, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract.”

(c) The vendor shall also specifically identify trade secret information and confidential commercial and financial information on the pages of the quotation on which it appears and shall mark each such page with the following legend:

“This page contains trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the vendor believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act and which is subject to the legend contained on the cover page of this quotation.”

(d) Information in a quotation identified by an vendor as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information shall be used by the Government only for the purpose of evaluating the quotation, except that (i) if a contract is awarded to the vendor as a result of or in connection with submission of the quotation, the Government shall have the right to use the information as provided in the contract, and (ii) if the same information is obtained from another source without restriction it may be used without restriction.

(e) If a request under the Freedom of Information Act seeks access to information in a quotation identified as trade secret information or confidential commercial and financial information, full consideration will be given to the vendor's view that the information constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information. The vendor will also be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide additional evidence and argument in support of its position, unless administratively unfeasible to do so. If it is determined that information claimed by the vendor to be trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, the vendor will be notified of this determination prior to disclosure of the information.

(f) The Government assumes no liability for the disclosure or use of information contained in a quotation if not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision. If a request under the Freedom of Information Act is made for information in a quotation not marked in accordance with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this provision, the vendor concerned shall be promptly notified of the request and given an opportunity to provide its position to the Government. However, failure of an vendor to mark information contained in a quotation as trade secret information or confidential commercial or financial information will be treated by the Government as evidence that the information is not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, absent a showing that the failure to mark was due to unusual or extenuating circumstances, such as a showing that the vendor had intended to mark, but that markings were omitted from the vendor's quotation due to clerical error.
