discretion, to retain other Contractors to provide any of the Services or Deliverables identified under this
procurement or make an award by item, part or portion of an item, group of items, or total Proposal.
11. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF BID OR PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS:
11.1. Generally, the full contents of any bid or proposal (including all materials submitted in connection with it, such as
attachments, exhibits, addenda, and vendor presentations) become public information upon completion of final
contract or purchase order negotiations with the selected vendor. Certain information concerning bids or
proposals, including but not limited to pricing or scoring, is generally available to the public even before this time,
in accordance with the provisions of NH RSA 21-G: 37.

including, but not limited to, NH RSA Chapter 91-A (the "Right-to-Know" Law), the State shall, after final
negotiations with the selected vendor are complete, attempt to maintain the confidentiality of portions of a bid or
proposal that are clearly and properly marked by a bidder as confidential. Any and all information contained in or
connected to a bid or proposal that a bidder considers confidential shall be clearly designated in the following
manner:

portion thereof is "proprietary", "not for public use", or "for client's use only", is not acceptable. In addition to

Page one (1) of this document, the identified information considered to be confidential must be accompanied by a
Page 6 of 18

conform to these instructions by failing to include a redacted copy (if required), by failing to include a letter
specifying the rationale for each redaction, by failing to designate redactions in the manner required by these
instructions, or by including redactions which are contrary to these instructions or operative law may be rejected
by the State as not conforming to the requirements of the bid or proposal. The State will generally assume that a
bid or proposal submitted without an additional redacted copy contains no information which the bidder deems
confidential. Bids and proposals which contain no redactions, as well as redacted versions of submissions that
have been accepted by the State, may be released to the public, including by means of posting on State web sites.
11.4. The State shall have no obligation to maintain the confidentiality of any portion of a bid, proposal, or related
material, which is not marked in accordance with the foregoing provisions. It is specifically understood and
agreed that the bidder waives any claim of confidentiality as to any portion of a response to this RFB or RFP that
is not marked as indicated above, and that unmarked (or improperly marked) submissions may be disseminated
to any person, without limitation. Marking an entire bid, proposal, attachment, or full sections thereof
confidential without taking into consideration the public's right to know shall neither be accepted nor honored by
the State.
11.5. Notwithstanding any provision of this request for submission to the contrary, proposed pricing shall be subject to
public disclosure REGARDLESS of whether or not marked as confidential.
11.6. If a request is made to the State by any person or entity to view or receive copies of any portion of a proposal and
if disclosure is not prohibited under NH RSA 21-G:37 or any other applicable law or regulation, bidders
acknowledge and agree that the State may disclose any and all portions of the proposal or related materials which
is not marked as confidential. In the case of bids, proposals or related materials that contain portions marked
confidential, the State shall assess what information it believes is subject to release; notify the bidder that the
request has been made; indicate what, if any, portions of the proposal or related material shall not be released;
and notify the bidder of the date it plans to release the materials. The State is not obligated to comply with a
bidder's designation regarding confidentiality. The State shall have no obligation to advise a bidder that an
individual or entity is attempting to electronically access, or has been referred to, materials which have been
made publicly available on the State's web sites.

New Hampshire, at its sole expense, enjoining the release of the requested information, the State may release the
information on the date specified in the notice without any liability to the bidder.
