ATTACHMENT 11 Confidential Information List if applicable.docx

This is a Confidential Information List attachment for RFP 27-02 Global Meetings, Conventions, & Incentives Marketing issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), the state agency responsible for tourism management and representation of the Hawaiian Islands globally. The document serves as a supplementary form to identify any confidential or proprietary information that bidders wish to protect from public disclosure during the proposal evaluation process. The attachment allows contractors to designate specific sections of their proposals as confidential, with corresponding justifications for the protection request, enabling the HTA to maintain competitive sensitivity while ensuring transparency in the procurement process.

The confidential information list format typically requires bidders to reference specific page numbers, section titles, and the nature of confidential material being submitted, along with explanations of why such information warrants protection from public records requests. This mechanism protects legitimate trade secrets, proprietary methodologies, and financial data while allowing the HTA to fulfill its public disclosure obligations for non-sensitive proposal contents. Proper completion of this attachment is essential for bidders seeking to shield competitively sensitive information from competitors and the general public during and after the RFP evaluation period.
