4. Public Disclosure: Responses to become Public Records. All materials submitted in response to this RFP
become a matter of public record and shall be regarded as public record.
New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, Section 14-1-1 et seq., NMSA 1978 as Amended
(“IPRA”) limits UNMH’s ability to withhold prequalification and bid data to trade secrets or records, the
disclosure of which is exempt or prohibit pursuant to federal or state law.
5. Confidentiality: As a state institution, UNMH is subject to the IPRA, so unless there is an exception
under the law, documents in the University's possession are subject to review by any member of the public.
One exception to this general rule is for trade secrets. Trade secrets are not subject to disclosure under an
IPRA request. New Mexico law defines a "trade secret" at NMSA Sec. 57-3A-2. Please review the
definition (or have your company attorney do so) and explain how the pages that you have marked as
"Confidential" fall within New Mexico's definition of a trade secret.
6. UNMH will recognize as confidential only those elements in each response, which are readily separable
from the proposal into its own section, and which are clearly marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
“PROPRIETARY” in order to facilitate eventual public inspection of the non-
confidential portion of the proposal. PLEASE NOTE: The price of products offered or the cost of services
proposed shall not be designated as proprietary or confidential information.
UNMH will ignore markings of “CONFIDENTIAL” on proposal cover sheets or on every page. Vague
designations and blanket statements regarding entire pages or documents are insufficient and shall not
bind UNMH to protect the designated matter from disclosure. Do not mark your cover page
confidential. Do not put the word “confidential” on every page. Do not identify pricing as confidential.
If you identify any portions of our proposal as confidential or as a trade secret, you agree, by submitting
your proposal, that UNMH’s sole obligation in connection with an IPRA request relating to your
proposal is to provide you with notice of the IPRA request so that you may seek relief as you may deem
appropriate. UNMH reserves the right to reject any proposal not in compliance with this paragraph.
UNMH shall not in any way be liable or responsible for the disclosure of any records if they are not plainly
marked “CONFIDENTIAL” or “PROPRIETARY” or if disclosure is required by law, regulation,
subpoena, order of the court or other legal requirements that purports to compel disclosure, including
without limitation, the IPRA.
