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 opportunity BD26-81 ReEDS/GAMS. The form is designed to allow vendors and contractors to assert trade secret and commercial financial information protections under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), specifically Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the entire proposal prohibited from being redacted. The Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of claimants who fail to provide a redacted version. The form requires claimants to provide company information, including name, address, contact details, and the name of the company representative, along with identification of the specific pages, paragraphs, and sections of their submission for which confidentiality protection is being claimed.
The confidentiality claim process requires claimants to include a concise statement of reasons supporting their request for protected classification, explaining how disclosure could result in unfair competitive injury or reveal trade secrets. Importantly, the form explicitly states that submitting a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that records will receive protected classification if the government receives a public records request. Claimants must detail which records submitted to the governmental entity are subject to the claim and provide specific justifications for each protected section. The Utah Division of Purchasing retains discretion to determine whether claimed information qualifies for protection under applicable statutes.

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.
