About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim Form issued by the Utah State Archives' Office of the Government Records Ombudsman in connection with Contract 226286 Amendment 3, a funds increase request managed by Utah's Division of Purchasing. The form serves as a template for vendors and contractors to submit confidentiality claims for trade secrets and commercial financial information included in their proposals, in accordance with Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the redacted version removing only specific sensitive information while maintaining substantive proposal content. The Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of claimants who fail to provide a redacted copy, and submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification if the state receives a public records request under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA).
The form requires claimants to provide specific details including company information, contact information for the company representative, the governmental entity receiving the submission, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim broken down by page and paragraph. Claimants must identify which portions of their submission are subject to the confidentiality claim and provide justifications for protection based on trade secret or commercial competitive injury grounds. This procedural requirement ensures that sensitive business information can be appropriately protected while maintaining government transparency obligations, though the ultimate determination of protected status remains with the governmental entity receiving the records request.

Office of the Government Records Ombudsman Utah State Archives
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.
