About this file

This is a GRAMA Claim of Business Confidentiality form submitted by a company in response to the Utah State Board of Education's Request for Proposals for Local Food for Schools Cooperative Contracts (Solicitation # USBE-JB26254-RFP). The form allows offerors to assert claims protecting sensitive business information from public disclosure under Utah Code Section 63G-2-305 and in accordance with Section 63G-2-309. The RFP seeks to establish cooperative contracts with qualified Utah small local beef and tree fruit producers, enabling Utah School Food Authorities to purchase locally produced products directly from contracted vendors. Multiple contract awards are anticipated, with all offerors meeting or exceeding the minimum evaluation threshold in applicable categories receiving contract awards. Available categories include Raw Ground Beef (Chubs) and Raw Ground Beef (Pre-formed products), among others.

Companies submitting proposals may claim business confidentiality protection for specified categories of information, including non-public financial statements, specific employee names and contact information, customer information and client lists, and other proprietary data. The confidentiality claim must be supported by documentation that the information qualifies as a trade secret under Utah Code Section 13-24-2 or constitutes commercial information where disclosure could reasonably result in unfair competitive injury to the submitting company. The offeror bears the burden of demonstrating that the company has a greater interest in prohibiting public access than the government entity has in obtaining disclosure. Companies must complete the form by identifying which information categories require protection and providing a concise statement of reasons supporting the confidentiality claim.
