R23-1-707. Process for Submitting Proposals with Protected Business Confidential Information

  (1) If an offeror submits a proposal that contains information claimed to be business confidential or protected information, the offeror must submit two separate proposals:

  (a) One redacted version for public release, with all protected business confidential information either blacked-out or removed, clearly marked as "Redacted Version"; and

  (b) One non-redacted version for evaluation purposes clearly marked as "Protected Business Confidential."

  (i) Pricing may not be classified as business confidential and will be considered public information.

  (ii) An entire proposal may not be designated as "PROTECTED", "CONFIDENTIAL" or "PROPRIETARY" and shall be considered non-responsive unless the offeror removes the designation.
