About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a GRAMA Business Confidentiality Claim form from the Utah State Archives, issued by the Office of the Government Records Ombudsman, related to the State of Utah Division of Water Quality's RFP for environmental laboratory services (JH27-127). The form serves as a template for vendors submitting proposals to claim confidential treatment of trade secrets or commercial financial information under Utah Code provisions 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309. Vendors must submit both redacted and non-redacted versions of their proposals to request confidentiality protection; the Division of Purchasing will not perform redactions on behalf of vendors who fail to provide a redacted copy. The underlying contract opportunity seeks a NELAP/ELAP/NELAC certified environmental laboratory to process and analyze soil and water samples using EPA, SM, ASTM, USP, USGS, and AOAC analytical methods, with an anticipated five-year contract term and pricing guaranteed for twelve months from the contract effective date.

The confidentiality claim form requires bidders to provide claimant information including company name, address, representative contact details, and a concise statement of reasons supporting the claim, identifying specific pages and paragraphs subject to protection. The form includes standard language noting that submission of a confidentiality claim does not guarantee protected classification if the government receives a subsequent records request, and references links to applicable Utah Code sections and the Office of the Government Records Ombudsman website for additional guidance on claim procedures and 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.
