Summary: GRAMA Business Confidentiality Claim Form

This document is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Office of the Government Records Ombudsman at the Utah State Archives, applicable to the State of Utah Division of Purchasing's procurement for film processing, duplicating, and touch-up services (AM27-3). The form provides the mechanism for vendors and bidders to assert protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information in accordance with Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Claimants submitting proposals must complete the form to request confidentiality protection for specified portions of their submissions, providing a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim. The form requires submission of both redacted and non-redacted versions of proposals; the Division of Purchasing will not perform redaction on behalf of a claimant that fails to provide a redacted copy. The notice of intent to award this contract without standard competitive procurement is scheduled for publication by July 28, 2026, based on justification that standard procurement is impractical or not in the best interest of the State.

The confidentiality claim form serves as a prerequisite for protecting sensitive business information from disclosure under public records requests. Claimants must identify the specific pages, paragraphs, and reasons for confidentiality protection claims and provide complete company representative contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email. While filing a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification status if the government receives a records request, the form establishes the formal notice required by statute. No specific pricing, contract duration, incumbent vendor, or service volume information is detailed in the procurement notice; all such details and procurement justification documentation are referenced as available in accompanying files requiring review.
