The CO shall direct any request for records which specifically cites the D.C. Freedom of Information Act (the "FOIA"), D.C. Code, 2001 Ed. §§ 2 -531 to 2- 539, to the Executive Director or to the information officer designated by the Executive Director.
If a request for records contains no reference to the FOIA, and if the CO is unsure whether the requested records can be released, the CO shall forward the request to the Hospital information officer or Executive Director.
No Hospital employee shall disclose proprietary or confidential information which has been properly designated as such, in accordance with the provisions of § 9809, to any person other than Hospital employees who need access to the information as part of their duties in connection with the procurement process.
If a contractor collects, retains, or has in its possession any document, record, or other information obtained in the performance of a Hospital contract, such document, record, or information may be exempt from disclosure under the FOIA. The contractor shall not disclose the document, record, or other information to any person other than an authorized Hospital employee or representative.
If a contractor collects, retains, or has in its possession any document, record, or other information obtained in the performance of a Hospital contract, the disclosure of which is prohibited by any Hospital, District, or Federal law or regulation, the contractor shall not disclose the document, record, or other information to any person other than an authorized Hospital employee or agent.
If a contractor is not sure whether a document, record, or other information may be disclosed, the contractor shall refer the matter to the CO for appropriate action.
The CO shall include in each solicitation and contract, a clause that notifies the bidder, offeror, or contractor of the provisions of this section.
