Confidentiality & Trade Secret Affidavit Management

The contract requires the preparation and management of Trade Secret Confidentiality Affidavits for proposal submissions, with a strict focus on safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring full compliance with Montana’s public records law. This involves identifying, segregating, and documenting confidential data to prevent unauthorized disclosure while meeting all legal requirements for submitting proposals to state entities. The contractor must have a thorough understanding of trade secret protections and the nuances of Montana’s transparency statutes to properly structure affidavits that shield proprietary information without compromising the integrity of the submission process. This is a subcontract opportunity posted by the State of Montana under NAICS code 541618, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026. The work is performance-based and centered on legal and procedural adherence rather than physical delivery or on-site services. While no specific location is designated for performance, the entire scope must align with Montana state law and public records requirements. Bidders must provide demonstrated experience in managing confidential documentation within government proposal environments and be prepared to deliver legally defensible affidavits that protect intellectual property while satisfying state disclosure obligations.
