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 246105 A5, a request to increase funding submitted by the State of Utah Division of Purchasing. The form serves as a template for vendors and contractors to assert confidentiality protections for trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted in response to state procurement opportunities. Per Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309, claimants may protect trade secrets and commercially sensitive information if they provide written justification demonstrating that disclosure could result in unfair competitive injury. The form requires claimants to submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the entire proposal prohibited from redaction. All confidentiality claims must include the claimant's company information, contact details, specific identification of protected pages and paragraphs, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim.
The confidentiality claim process does not guarantee protection if the governmental entity receives a public records request under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Claimants bear responsibility for uploading redacted copies; the Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of vendors who fail to provide redacted versions. This document functions as an administrative mechanism to ensure compliance with Utah's public records laws while protecting legitimate business interests during the procurement process. The form includes fields for company name, address, representative contact information, governmental entity receiving the claim, and detailed specifications of which content requires confidentiality protection and the associated rationale.

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.
