About this file

This document is a Business Confidentiality Claim Form for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) related to a solicitation for Flexible Snowplow Blades with Tungsten Carbide Inserts. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) #UDOT260082JB seeks to establish a five-year agency contract for providing snowplow blades, with the procurement being conducted by UDOT Procurement Services Division and the Operations & Aeronautics unit. The solicitation is issued in accordance with the State of Utah Procurement Code and Utah Administrative Code.

The confidentiality form allows bidders to claim protection for certain non-public information, with specific restrictions on what can be marked confidential. Notably, pricing/cost proposals cannot be classified as confidential and will be considered public information. The form provides a mechanism for companies to protect trade secrets and sensitive commercial information that could result in competitive injury if disclosed, following Utah Code Annotated guidelines. Bidders must specify exact pages and paragraphs they wish to protect and provide reasoning for the confidentiality claim, with the understanding that the governmental entity may still determine to release the information after reviewing competing interests.
