About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman for use in connection with state procurement processes in Utah. The form is designed to allow vendors and contractors to protect trade secrets and sensitive commercial financial information from public disclosure under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), specifically addressing the requirements outlined in Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants submitting proposals to governmental entities in Utah may use this form to assert confidentiality protections for specific portions of their submissions, provided they submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their complete proposals. The form requires detailed claimant information including company name, address, representative contact details, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim, with specific citations of affected pages, paragraphs, and justifications for protection.
The confidentiality claim process does not guarantee that protected information will remain classified if the government receives a subsequent records request, and the Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of vendors who fail to submit a properly redacted version. Claimants must specify which records submitted to which governmental entity require protection and provide detailed explanations for each confidentiality request. This form is integral to the procurement process in Utah, as it allows vendors to safeguard proprietary information while maintaining transparency requirements for public contracting, balancing competitive concerns with government accountability mandates under state law.

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.
