About this file
This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form issued by the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman in compliance with the Utah Procurement Code and Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The form is utilized by vendors and contractors submitting proposals to state and local procurement units in Utah who wish to protect trade secrets and commercial financial information from public disclosure. The claimant must provide both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposal, with the understanding that the entire proposal cannot be redacted. The form requires the submitting company to provide detailed information including company name, address, representative contact details, specific pages and paragraphs requiring confidentiality protection, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim for protection under Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309.
The confidentiality claim process operates under the premise that trade secrets can be protected if properly claimed, and commercial financial information can be protected if disclosure would reasonably result in unfair competitive injury to the submitting party. However, submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that information will receive protected classification status if the government receives a records request. The Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of claimants who fail to submit a redacted copy with their proposal. This form applies to Amendment 1 to Contract 256321 in Utah and represents the state's mechanism for balancing public records transparency requirements with legitimate business confidentiality interests in the procurement process.

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.
