This is a Subcontractor References attachment document for the Hawai'i Tourism Authority (HTA) related to RFP 26-17 for a Visitor Assistance Program on Hawai'i Island. The form is designed to be completed by the primary offeror and requires submission of signed letters or statements from legally authorized representatives of any proposed subcontractors. The document requests comprehensive information about subcontractor organizations, including their names, addresses, and relevant tax identification numbers (Federal and Hawai'i). For each subcontractor engagement, offerors must provide project names, subcontract dates, contract values in USD, primary contact information, and a detailed description of the goods or services to be provided. Additionally, offerors must specify the contract type (such as Fixed Price) and entity type of the subcontractor.

The form requires offerors to provide critical justification and documentation regarding subcontractor selection and management. Specifically, offerors must describe the competitive selection process and criteria used to select the subcontractor, including a summary of the selected firm's qualifications and experience. Offerors must also explain the rationale for subcontractor selection, demonstrating how the chosen firm's qualifications align with service requirements and how the subcontract amount was determined to be reasonable. Finally, offerors must provide information on how HTA confidential information will be protected from unauthorized release and detail the intellectual property arrangements, including whether work is considered work-for-hire or licensed, and explain how the HTA's intellectual property interests are safeguarded.
