ATTACHMENT 07 Confidential Information List if applicable.docx

This is a Confidential Information List attachment for RFP 27-08, a Visitor Assistance Program solicitation issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) for Maui County. The document provides guidance to offerors on the procedures for designating proprietary or confidential information within their proposals, specifications, protests, or correspondence submitted in response to the request for proposals. The attachment establishes that pricing information itself is not considered confidential and will be publicly disclosed; however, actual costs, pricing details, and financial data that would allow competitors to calculate profit margins or production costs may be marked and withheld as confidential under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 92F-13.

The document requires offerors to submit a comprehensive list identifying all information they claim as confidential, along with corresponding document titles, descriptions, page numbers, and section references. This procedural requirement ensures transparency in the procurement process while protecting legitimate business secrets and competitive information from disclosure to rival bidders, allowing the HTA to properly manage confidentiality claims during the evaluation and award phases of the solicitation.
