ATTACHMENT 11 Confidential Information List if applicable.docx

This is a Confidential Information List attachment for RFP 27-01, issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA), a state agency responsible for tourism management and destination brand marketing for the Hawaiian Islands. The attachment provides instructions for offerors to identify and list any portions of their proposals, offers, specifications, protests, or correspondence that contain confidential information requiring withholding from disclosure under Hawaii Chapter 92F-13. Offerors are instructed to document the title, description, and page and section numbers of any confidential materials they wish to protect. The document establishes that pricing information itself is not considered confidential and will not be withheld from disclosure.

The attachment clarifies that while price alone cannot be marked confidential, actual costs or pricing information that would enable competitors to estimate profit margins and production costs may be designated as confidential. This distinction allows offerors to protect sensitive commercial information that could provide competitive advantage while maintaining transparency regarding proposed pricing structures. The template provided in the attachment requires offerors to systematically catalog confidential information by document title, description, and location within their proposal submissions.
