University shall have no further obligations under the Agreement.

Agreement general commercial liability insurance against claims for bodily injury, death, and property damage with limits of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence, and $3,000,000.00 general aggregate to cover such liability caused by, or arising out of, activities of Supplier and its agents and/or employees while engaged in or preparing for the provision of the goods or services provided under the Agreement. If the goods or services include providing technology services, software, or support, Supplier shall obtain and maintain cyber liability insurance coverage of not less than $10,000,000.00 per occurrence and in the aggregate to cover such liability resulting or arising from acts, errors, or omissions in rendering such
Revised: 160425 technology services, software, or support. Upon request by University, Supplier shall furnish to University certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance is effective prior to commencement of work under the

Each of your guests must identify themselves as part of your Group by referencing the Group identification code, which will be provided to you by the Resort.

Select Circumstances for Procurement by Non-Competitive Proposals definitions for relevant capitalized terms are included on the following page
The Purchase of a unique Article or Service that is available only from a single source (without limiting the generality of the foregoing, examples include public utilities; books, periodicals, and other publications; and specially designed business, research, or scientific equipment and software). Unless an Article or Service is necessary for the operation of an existing Article or performance of an existing Service purchased by the University, a specification for a proprietary Article or Service does not justify a Purchase by noncompetitive proposal where there is more than a single source that can provide the Article or Service. See RP-6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.I; -6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.C.
The Purchase of an Article or Service that is necessary for the operation of an existing Article or performance of an existing Service purchased by the University. See RP-6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.II.
The Purchase is necessary to address an Emergency. See RP-6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.III.
The Purchase of Professional Services; provided, however, any contract for Licensed Professional Services, construction management, and design-build services shall be made in accordance with applicable law and Board of Regents policies. See RP-6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.IV; -6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.VII.
The Purchase is for maintenance or servicing of equipment made from the manufacturer of the equipment or the manufacturer's authorized service agent, where, in the judgment of the Authorized Signatory, such maintenance or service can be most effectively performed by the manufacturer or its authorized service agent.
See RP-6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.V.
The Purchase is to be made using federal funding and the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes non-competitive proposals in response to a written request from the non-federal entity.
See RP-6.2.1.5.b.1)iv.A.VI.
This form must be accompanied by written justification for the non-competitive procurement from the requesting college, school, department, division, office, or other administrative subdivision.
Written Justification
Procurement Officer Approval Date

DHL Mahi OPCO LLC dba Mauna Lani, Auberge Collection 71880.00
The primary hotel selected for our 2026 PPLC has sold out due to higher-than-anticipated attendance and concurrent events. To ensure adequate lodging for all participants and prevent disruption to the event, an overflow room block is required. Competitive procurement was not feasible due to limited hotel availability, time constraints, and the need for proximity to the event location. The selected overflow hotel was the only option able to meet availability, location, and logistical requirements within the necessary timeframe, and the rates obtained are consistent with market pricing.
