ATTACHMENT 09 Contractor References.docx

This is a contractor references form for RFP 27-09 issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority, a state agency responsible for destination brand marketing for the Hawaiian Islands. The form requires offerors to provide at least three references from previous Prime Contractor engagements on similar projects. For each reference, offerors must document the client organization name and address, project name, project dates, primary contact information including name, title, email, and phone number, and a detailed description of the scope of services provided. The references serve as validation of the contractor's capability to deliver comprehensive destination brand marketing services for leisure travel within the Oceania major market area, with emphasis on Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand. The RFP encompasses a three-year contract term spanning 2027-2029, with proposals due August 17, 2026.

The form includes space for provider information, solicitation reference number, and three separate client reference sections, each requesting identical documentation to establish a documented history of similar work performance. The references must demonstrate the offeror's experience as a prime contractor rather than as a subcontractor, ensuring direct responsibility for project delivery. The attachment includes space for additional comments and contains an image placeholder, though specific details regarding pricing, set-asides, or other financial terms are not contained within this particular reference form document.
