About this file
This is a GRAMA Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, applicable to the Utah Division of Purchasing for Contract 246039 Amendment 2 Funds Increase. The form is a template designed to allow bidders and contractors to assert confidentiality protections over trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted as part of their proposals to the state. Claimants must provide both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the redacted version protecting sensitive information from public disclosure under Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. The form requires submission of comprehensive claimant information, including company name, address, representative contact details, specific identification of confidential pages and paragraphs, and a concise statement of reasons justifying the confidentiality claim.
The confidentiality claim process does not guarantee protected classification if the government receives subsequent public records requests, and the Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of claimants who fail to submit a properly redacted copy. The form allows for multiple confidentiality reasons to be documented across different sections of a proposal, enabling contractors to protect specific proprietary information while maintaining transparency in other areas. This mechanism serves to balance procurement transparency requirements with legitimate business interests in protecting trade secrets and sensitive competitive financial information during the contracting process.

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.
