ATTACHMENT 03 Subcontractor References if applicable.docx

This is a subcontractor references attachment form issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) for use in response to RFP 27-17 for Hawaii Tourism Destination Brand Marketing services in the China market area. The form requires offerors to provide detailed information about any subcontractors they intend to use, including the subcontractor's organization name, address, contact information, and the specific project name and contract dates. Offerors must document the subcontract value in USD, the type of goods or services to be provided, the contract type (such as fixed price), and the entity type along with federal and Hawaii tax identification numbers. The form mandates submission of a signed letter or statement from a legally authorized representative for each subcontractor as supporting documentation.

The attachment requires offerors to comprehensively describe the scope of services to be rendered by the subcontractor and provide detailed information on the competitive selection process used to identify and evaluate the subcontractor. Offerors must justify their subcontractor selection by explaining the subcontractor's qualifications and experience relevant to the contract and demonstrate how the subcontract amount was determined to be reasonable. Additionally, offerors must address how the HTA's confidential information will be protected from unauthorized release and clarify intellectual property ownership and protection mechanisms, including whether work will be provided as work-for-hire, licensed, or under other arrangements. The RFP itself specifies that marketing services must be limited to leisure travel marketing, with meetings, conventions, and incentives market segment activities expressly excluded from scope.
