About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman in conjunction with a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) for Technology and Financial Policy Consulting Services conducted by the Utah Office of State Treasurer under the State of Utah Division of Purchasing. The form serves as a template for vendors submitting qualifications to claim protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information under Utah Code provisions 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Vendors responding to the RFSQ for consulting services supporting emerging financial technologies and payment systems initiatives must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals if they wish to protect proprietary information from public disclosure through Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) requests. The small purchase threshold for this professional services engagement is $100,000.00, and vendors are explicitly instructed not to include pricing in their submitted qualifications.
Vendors electing to claim confidentiality protection must provide a concise statement of reasons explaining why disclosure could result in unfair competitive injury or would compromise trade secrets, and must identify specific pages and paragraphs subject to protection. The Division of Purchasing will not independently redact proposals on behalf of vendors who fail to provide a properly redacted version. Submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification status if the governmental entity receives a subsequent records request, and claimants bear the responsibility of substantiating their claims under applicable Utah statutes and regulations.

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.
