About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, applicable to the Division of Purchasing and state procurement activities in Utah. The form serves as a template for businesses to submit confidentiality claims under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA), specifically under Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. The form enables companies to protect trade secrets and commercial financial information from public disclosure when submitting proposals or other documents to state entities. Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, provide detailed information about their company and the specific records requiring protection, and include a concise written statement explaining the reasons for the confidentiality claim. The form requires standard business information including company name, address, representative contact details, and the governmental entity receiving the submission.
The confidentiality claim process does not guarantee protected classification of submitted information if the government receives a public records request, and the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of claimants who fail to provide redacted versions independently. Claimants must specify which pages and paragraphs of their submission require confidential treatment and provide detailed reasoning for each protection request. This form is part of Utah's standard procurement documentation and is available through the Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, with associated statutory authority referenced through the Utah Legislature's code sections. The form includes fields for documentation of the claim submission date, company representative signature, and comprehensive details about the nature of the confidential information being protected.

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.
