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 the AS26-66 Walk-In Building Supplies Request for Information (RFI) from the State of Utah. The form provides the mechanism for vendors and potential bidders to protect trade secrets and commercial financial information from public disclosure under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), specifically under Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. The RFI itself is not a procurement process and does not constitute an offer to contract; rather, it is designed to solicit information, comments, and suggestions from potential vendors to determine whether to issue a formal invitation for bids or request for proposals and to generate vendor interest. Vendors responding to this RFI should not contact the State directly but instead submit responses during the designated question and answer period.
A claimant seeking to protect confidential information must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposal, with the entire proposal prohibited from being redacted. The form requires detailed claimant information including company name, address, representative contact details, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim. The claim must specify which pages, paragraphs, and sections of the submission require protection and the specific reasons for each confidentiality request. Importantly, submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that information will receive protected classification if the State receives a subsequent public records request, as such determinations are made in accordance with applicable Utah law.

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.
