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 conjunction with the Utah Government Records Access and Management (GRAMA) Act. The form is designed to allow vendors and contractors submitting proposals to the Division of Purchasing to claim protection for trade secrets and commercial financial information under Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. The form applies to the contract opportunity BD26-70 for a BioSonics DTX-XT Autonomous Echosounder Surface Unit, which is being conducted by a Utah state procurement unit. Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, as the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of vendors who fail to provide a redacted copy.
The confidentiality claim form requires detailed claimant information including company name, address, representative name, and contact details, along with a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim. The form provides space to identify specific pages and paragraphs for which protection is requested and the corresponding justification for each redaction. Importantly, the form explicitly notes that submitting a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that information will be protected if the government receives a records request, as the final classification determination rests with the Division of Purchasing. This form is a procedural requirement for any vendor seeking to protect proprietary or sensitive business information during the procurement evaluation and award 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.
