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 236163, a contract amendment for funds increase administered by the Utah Division of Purchasing. The form serves as a template for vendors and contractors to assert claims for protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information under Utah Code provisions 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. The document outlines the process by which claimants may request confidential classification of specific portions of their proposal submissions to protect competitively sensitive information. Claimants are required to submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the entire proposal unable to be redacted. The form requires detailed identification of the confidential materials, including specific page numbers, paragraphs, and documented reasons for the confidentiality claims.

The confidentiality claim process does not guarantee protection of submitted information if the governmental entity receives a public records request under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of claimants who fail to submit properly redacted proposal copies. All claimants must provide complete company information, including business name, address, representative contact details, and the specific governmental entity receiving the submission. This process applies to materials submitted during the procurement process for Contract 236163 and represents standard procedure for protecting legitimate business confidentiality claims while maintaining compliance with Utah's open records requirements.

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.
