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 246105 Amendment 4, a funds increase contract managed by the Utah Division of Purchasing. The form is designed to allow bidders and contractors to protect trade secrets and commercial financial information from public disclosure under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Claimants submitting confidentiality claims must provide a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim and submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the understanding that the entire proposal cannot be redacted. The form requires detailed claimant information including company name, address, contact details, and specific identification of which pages and paragraphs contain the confidential information along with the reasons for protection.
The confidentiality claim process is governed by Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309, which permit protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information that could result in unfair competitive injury if disclosed. The Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of claimants who fail to provide a redacted copy. Importantly, submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that the information will be classified as protected; the government retains the authority to determine protected status if a records request is received. This form serves as the mechanism for contractors to formally request confidential treatment of sensitive business information in their submissions related to this contract amendment.

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.
