DISCLOSURE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OR UNFAIR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE (JUL 2023)

(“OCI FAQ for Contractors” is available at www.procurement.sc.gov)

(a) You certify that, after reasonable inquiry, to the best of your knowledge and belief: (1) your offer identifies any services that relate to

either this solicitation or the work and that have already been performed by you, a proposed subcontractor, or an affiliated business or

consultant of either; and (2) there are no relevant facts or circumstances that may give rise to an actual or potential organizational

conflict of interest, as defined in S.C. Code Ann. Reg. 19-445.2127, or that your offer identifies and explains any unfair competitive

advantage you may have in competing for the proposed contract and any actual or potential conflicts of interest that may arise from

your participation in this competition or your receipt of an award.

(b) If you, a proposed subcontractor, or an affiliated business or consultant of either, have an unfair competitive advantage or an actual

or potential conflict of interest, the State may withhold award. Before withholding award on these grounds, the State will notify you of

the concerns and provide a reasonable opportunity for you to respond. The State may consider efforts to avoid or mitigate such

concerns, including restrictions on future activities.

(c) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which the State will rely when considering

your offer for award. [02-2A047-3

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR BID / PROPOSAL and SUBMITTING CONFIDENTIAL DATA (FEB 2021)

(a) According to Section 11-35-410, any person submitting a document in response or with regard to any solicitation or other request

must "comply with instructions provided in the solicitation for marking information exempt from public disclosure. Information not marked

as required by the applicable instructions may be disclosed to the public." IF YOU IDENTIFY YOUR ENTIRE RESPONSE AS EXEMPT

FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, OR IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT A REDACTED COPY AS REQUIRED, THE STATE MAY, IN ITS SOLE

DISCRETION, DETERMINE YOUR BID OR PROPOSAL NONRESPONSIVE AND INELIGIBLE FOR AWARD. (b) By submitting a

response to this solicitation or request, Offeror (1) agrees to the public disclosure of every page, or portion thereof, of every document

regarding this solicitation or request that was submitted at any time prior to entering into a contract (including, but not limited to,

documents contained in a response, documents submitted to clarify a response, and documents submitted during negotiations), unless

the page, or portion thereof, was redacted and conspicuously marked "Trade Secret" or "Confidential" or "Protected", (2) agrees that

any information not redacted and marked, as required by these bidding instructions, as a "Trade Secret" is not a trade secret as defined

by the Trade Secrets Act, and (3) agrees that, notwithstanding any claims or markings otherwise, any prices, commissions, discounts,

or other financial figures used to determine the award, as well as the final contract amount, are subject to public disclosure. (c) If your

offer includes any information that you claim is exempt from public disclosure, you must submit one complete copy of your offer from

which you have removed or concealed such information (the redacted copy). Except for the information removed or concealed, the

redacted copy must be identical to your original offer. (d) Do not mark your entire response (bid, proposal, quote, etc.) as confidential,

trade secret, or protected. If only portions of a page are subject to some protection, do not redact the entire page. The redacted copy

must reflect the same pagination as the original and show the empty space from which information was redacted. The Procurement

Officer must be able to view, search, copy and print the redacted copy without a password. If your response, or any part thereof, is

improperly marked as confidential or trade secret or protected, the State may, in its sole discretion, determine it nonresponsive. (e) On

the redacted copy, you must identify the basis of your claim by marking each redaction as follows: You must separately mark with the

word "CONFIDENTIAL" every page, or portion thereof, that you redacted and claim as exempt from public disclosure because it is

either (1) a trade secret as defined in Section 30-4-40(a)(1) of the Freedom of Information Act, or (2) privileged and confidential, as that

Page 2

phrase is used in Section 11-35-410. You must separately mark with the words "TRADE SECRET" every page, or portion thereof, that

you redacted and claim as exempt from public disclosure as a trade secret pursuant to Section 39-8-20 of the Trade Secrets Act. You

must separately mark with the word "PROTECTED" every page, or portion thereof, that you redacted and claim as exempt from public

disclosure pursuant to Section 11-35- 1810. All markings must be conspicuous; use color, bold, underlining, or some other method in

order to conspicuously distinguish the mark from the other text. (f) In determining whether to release documents, the State will

detrimentally rely on your redaction and marking of documents, as required by these bidding instructions, as being either "Confidential"

or "Trade Secret" or "Protected". By submitting a response, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the State of South

Carolina, its agencies, officers and employees, from every claim, demand, loss, expense, cost, damage or injury, including attorney's

fees, arising out of or resulting from withholding information by the State of South Carolina or any of its agencies, that you have

redacted or marked as "Confidential" or "Trade Secret" or "Protected". (All references to S.C. Code of Laws.) [02-2A125-3]
