Bill Summary
Prohibits a procurement officer from disclosing a competing offeror's proposal or evaluation scores, except the summary of scores, during a debriefing requested by a non-selected offeror. Authorizes the disclosure of a competing offeror's proposal or evaluation scores after a protest is resolved and the contract is executed. Effective 1/1/2491. (SD1)
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 103D-303 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to modify procurement debriefing procedures. Specifically, the bill restricts procurement officers from disclosing a competing offeror's full proposal or detailed evaluation scores during a debriefing requested by a non-selected offeror, with the exception of a summary of scores. The bill allows for full disclosure of proposals and evaluation scores only after any potential protest has been resolved and the contract has been executed. Non-selected offerors can still request a debriefing within three working days after a contract is awarded, and they retain the right to file a written protest within five working days after the debriefing is completed. The purpose of this legislation appears to be protecting the confidentiality of competing proposals during the procurement process while still maintaining transparency and allowing for appropriate review. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2491, which is likely a typographical error and should probably read 2024 or another more near-term year.
