About this file

This is a Business Confidentiality Claim form from the Utah State Archives Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, designed for use with procurement submissions to the State of Utah Division of Purchasing in connection with the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. The form enables bidders and contractors to assert claims protecting trade secrets and commercial financial information from public disclosure under Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Claimants must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals, with the entire proposal prohibited from redaction. The form requires detailed information about the claimant, including company name, address, contact information, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim, specifying which pages and paragraphs require protection and the specific justification for each restriction.

The confidentiality claim process operates under Utah Code provisions 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309, which protect trade secrets if proper claims are submitted and restrict disclosure of commercial financial information when disclosure could reasonably result in unfair competitive injury. Claimants must understand that submitting a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification if the governmental entity receives subsequent public records requests. The Division of Purchasing will not redact proposals on behalf of claimants who fail to provide properly redacted copies, placing full responsibility on bidders to identify and protect sensitive information while maintaining a substantially complete, reviewable proposal for evaluation purposes.

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.
