About this file

This is a Claim of Business Confidentiality document related to the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's procurement for the Utah State Library's LSTA Five-Year Plan, which is being conducted by the Cultural and Community Engagement unit. The procurement seeks statements of qualifications from design professional service providers and consultants to develop the library's five-year strategic plan under Utah Procurement Code 63G-6a Part 15. The contract is structured as a one-year engagement with the highest-ranked vendor selected to negotiate compensation terms determined to be fair and reasonable. If acceptable terms cannot be reached with the top-ranked vendor, the state reserves the right to proceed with negotiations with the next highest-ranked candidate. Vendors are explicitly instructed not to include pricing information in their qualification submissions.

The document establishes a confidentiality framework for protecting proprietary business information submitted during the procurement process. As a Claim of Business Confidentiality filing, it outlines procedures and protections for sensitive vendor information, trade secrets, and other confidential data disclosed during the qualification and negotiation phases. This document serves as the legal mechanism through which the state acknowledges and protects vendor intellectual property and proprietary methodologies while maintaining transparency in the public procurement process, ensuring that qualified professional service providers can compete fairly without exposing their competitive advantages.

Business Request for GRAMA Business Confidentiality Claim

Note: Utah Code § 63G-2-305(1) states that trade secrets can be protected if the person submitting the trade secret provides the governmental entity with a confidentiality claim. Likewise, Utah Code § 63G-2-305(2) states that commercial financial information can be protected if disclosure could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information, and that person has provided a confidentiality claim. Confidentiality claims are described in Utah Code § 63G-2-309. A claim must include a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim and must be submitted with the information requested to be protected. A claimant MUST submit a redacted and non-redacted version of their proposal. The entire proposal may NOT be redacted. The Division of Purchasing will not redact a proposal on behalf of a claimant if they fail to upload a redacted copy of their proposal.
