About this file
This file is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives, Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, for use in state procurement processes governed by the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The form is designed to allow vendors and contractors submitting proposals to the Division of Purchasing to claim confidentiality protection for trade secrets and commercial financial information in accordance with Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants must provide a concise written statement explaining why specific information warrants confidentiality protection based on grounds that disclosure could result in unfair competitive injury or reveal protected trade secrets. The form requires submission of both redacted and non-redacted versions of proposals, with the clarification that an entire proposal cannot be redacted and that the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of claimants who fail to submit a properly redacted copy.
The confidentiality claim form collects standard claimant information including company name, address, representative contact details, and specifies the governmental entity receiving the submission. Claimants must identify the specific pages, paragraphs, and sections of their proposal for which confidentiality is claimed and provide individual justifications for each redaction request. While the submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification status if the government subsequently receives a public records request, the process provides a formal mechanism for vendors to assert protection of sensitive business information during the procurement process.

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.
