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 266127 Extension & Funds Increase. The form is designed to allow vendors and contractors to claim protection of trade secrets and commercial financial information submitted to the State of Utah under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The document establishes the process for submitting confidentiality claims pursuant to Utah Code 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309, requiring claimants to provide a concise statement of reasons supporting their claim and to submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals. The form specifies that the entire proposal may not be redacted, and that the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of claimants who fail to provide a properly redacted version.

The form contains fields for claimant information including company name, address, representative name and contact details, and requires specification of which pages, paragraphs, and sections of submitted materials are subject to the confidentiality claim along with reasons for each claim. The document clarifies that submitting a confidentiality claim does not guarantee that information will receive protected classification status if the governmental entity receives a records request. Claimants must identify the specific governmental entity to which records are being submitted and the reason for submission. The confidentiality request process allows for up to four distinct claims with supporting rationales, enabling contractors to protect sensitive business information while maintaining compliance with Utah's public records requirements.

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.
