About this file
This file is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, in coordination with the Division of Purchasing. The form is designed to allow bidders and contractors submitting proposals to claim trade secret and commercial financial information protections under Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the non-redacted version containing complete information and the redacted version excluding only the specific proprietary information being protected. The form requires claimants to provide concise statements of reasons supporting their confidentiality claims, including detailed information about which pages, paragraphs, and specific content require protection. Claimants must complete all required fields including company name, address, representative contact information, the governmental entity receiving the proposal, the reason for the confidentiality claim, and the date of submission.
The form serves as a prerequisite document for bidders on Utah state and local contracts who wish to protect sensitive business information from public disclosure through Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) requests. Submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that information will be protected, as the governmental entity retains discretion in determining whether protected classification is appropriate upon receipt of a records request. Bidders failing to submit a properly completed redacted copy of their proposal will not receive proposal redaction services from the Division of Purchasing, meaning their entire proposal may become subject to public disclosure upon a GRAMA request.

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.
