About this file

This is a Claim of Business Confidentiality Form issued by the State of Utah for use in the Request for Proposals for Classroom & Computer Lab Management Software solicitation by Jordan School District. The form allows offerors to assert claims of business confidentiality for sensitive information submitted as part of their proposals, in accordance with Utah Code Annotated Subsections 63G-2-305 and Section 63G-2-309. Offerors may designate information such as nonpublic financial statements, specific employee names and contact information, customer information, client lists, or subscription lists as confidential, provided they document the specific pages and paragraphs containing protected information and justify the claim based on trade secrets or commercial information that could result in unfair competitive injury if disclosed. Importantly, pricing and cost proposals may not be classified as confidential and will be considered public information, and an entire proposal cannot be marked as protected, confidential, or proprietary.

Offerors submitting claims of business confidentiality must complete the form by signing and dating it on behalf of their company, specifying the exact location of protected information within their proposal, and providing detailed reasons for each claim. The governmental entity will notify offerors if any record claimed to be protected is subsequently classified as public or if the entity determines that the record should be released after weighing interests under applicable Utah Code provisions. This form serves as the official mechanism for offerors to safeguard proprietary trade secrets and sensitive commercial information while ensuring transparency in the procurement process.

Pricing/Cost Proposal may not be classified as confidential or protected and will be considered public information. An entire proposal cannot be identified as “PROTECTED,” “CONFIDENTIAL,” or “PROPRIETARY.”

Non-public financial statements Specific employee name and contact information Specific customer information, client lists, or subscription lists Other (specify): _________________________________________________________________

commercial information or non-individual financial information obtained from a person if: (a) disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the person submitting the information or would impair the ability of the governmental entity to obtain necessary information in the future; [and] (b) the person submitting the information has a greater interest in prohibiting access than the public in obtaining access.
