ATTACHMENT 07 Confidential Information List if applicable.docx

This is a Confidential Information List attachment for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), a state agency responsible for managing tourism in Hawaii. The document provides guidelines for offerors who believe portions of their proposals contain confidential information that should be withheld from disclosure under Hawaii Chapter 92F-13. Offerors are instructed to submit a list identifying all confidential information referenced in their proposals, including the document title, description, and page and section numbers where such information appears. The RFP seeks a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive Statewide Sports Tourism Study to provide data-driven insights for policy and investment decisions regarding sports tourism in Hawaii. The final report with all data, findings, and recommended legislation must be submitted to HTA no later than March 31, 2027.

The document clarifies that price information is not considered confidential and will not be withheld from disclosure; however, actual costs or pricing information that would enable competitors to estimate profit margins and production costs may be marked as confidential. This confidentiality provision allows offerors to protect proprietary business information while ensuring that basic pricing remains transparent to the state agency and other stakeholders in the procurement process.
