requested is not a “trade secret” covered by the Act, it will notify vendor of that determination. Any bid marked

with any information as “confidential” or as a “trade secret” or in any other manner as to indicate that it is

information protected by the Act in violation of this section shall be regarded as not responsive to the invitation
