About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives and the Office of the Government Records Ombudsman in accordance with Utah's Government Records Access and Management (GRAMA) Act. The form is utilized by vendors and contractors submitting proposals to Utah state procurement units who wish to protect proprietary information, trade secrets, or commercial financial information from public disclosure. The document requires claimants to submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the redacted version removing only those specific elements claimed as confidential. Claimants must provide detailed information identifying which pages, paragraphs, and sections of their submission contain confidential material and include a concise written statement explaining the reasons for each confidentiality claim. The form collects claimant contact information, company details, and specific references to the confidential content within their submission.
The form emphasizes that submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protection of the designated information if a public records request is subsequently received by the governmental entity. The Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of vendors who fail to provide a properly redacted version, meaning the entire unredacted proposal may become subject to disclosure. Claims must be submitted simultaneously with the proposal or information being protected and must comply with applicable Utah Code sections governing trade secrets and commercial financial information protection under GRAMA.

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.
