About this file
This is a Claim of Business Confidentiality form filed in connection with Davis Technical College's Student Information System procurement in Utah. The document serves as a confidentiality claim mechanism allowing vendors to designate proprietary or sensitive business information submitted during the proposal process. The form establishes the framework through which bidders can request that specific portions of their proposals be protected from public disclosure under applicable state public records exemptions. This filing is integral to the competitive bidding process for the comprehensive Student Information System implementation, which must support Davis Technical College's unique open-entry, course-based academic model alongside traditional term-based programming. The claim allows vendors to safeguard trade secrets, proprietary methodologies, pricing strategies, and other confidential business information while still participating in the transparent procurement process required by state and local regulations.
The confidentiality claim form does not itself contain pricing information, set-asides, or funding details, as it functions solely as a procedural document for protecting sensitive vendor information. Instead, it establishes the legal and administrative basis for vendors to redact or withhold specific materials from public inspection in accordance with Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) and related confidentiality statutes. The form enables Davis Technical College to balance its obligations for transparent public procurement with vendors' legitimate interests in protecting confidential business information, thereby encouraging robust competition by assuring vendors that their proprietary solutions and pricing will not be unnecessarily exposed to competitors.

CLAIM OF BUSINESS CONFIDENTIALITY
Pursuant to Utah Code Ann., Subsections 63-2-304(1) and (2), and in accordance with Section 63-2-308, the undersigned company asserts the claim of business confidentiality to protect the following information submitted as part of a Request for Proposals.
This claim is asserted because this information requires protection as it includes:
G Trade secrets as defined in Section 13-24-2 (“Trade secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process, that: (a) derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.)
G Commercial information or non-individual financial information obtained from a person if:
(a) disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information or would impair the ability of the governmental entity to obtain necessary information in the future, [and] (b) the person submitting the information has a greater interest in prohibiting access than the public in obtaining access.
This statement of reasons supporting the claim of business confidentiality applies to the following information in this proposal:
