About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form from the Utah State Archives, Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, designed for use in conjunction with a Request for Information regarding H.B. 195 Precious Metals issued by the State of Utah. The form serves as a template for vendors and potential contractors to assert confidentiality protections for trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted in response to state procurement opportunities. Under Utah Code sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309, claimants may protect proprietary information from public disclosure if they provide a concise written statement of reasons supporting the claim and submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals. The form requires detailed claimant information including company name, address, representative contact details, and specific identification of which pages, paragraphs, and sections of the submission require confidentiality protection, along with the justification for each claim.
Claimants must complete all required fields on the form and submit it alongside their proposal materials to the Division of Purchasing. The form explicitly notes that submitting a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification status if the governmental entity receives a subsequent records request under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Importantly, if a claimant fails to upload a redacted version of their proposal, the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of the claimant. The RFI process itself is non-binding and does not constitute a procurement or contractual commitment; it is intended solely to gather information and determine whether to proceed with a formal invitation for bids or request for proposals.

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.
