Bill Summary
Prohibits a procurement officer from disclosing a competing offeror's proposal or evaluation score, 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 score after a protest is resolved and the contract is executed.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding government procurement in Hawaii to clarify when information about competing proposals and their evaluation scores can be shared with businesses that were not selected for a contract. Specifically, it states that during a debriefing, which is a meeting requested by a non-selected offeror to understand why their bid wasn't chosen, the procurement officer (the government official handling the purchase) cannot reveal the details of other companies' proposals or their specific evaluation scores. However, a summary of all scores can be shared. This information about competing proposals and scores can only be disclosed after any formal challenges or protests related to the contract award have been resolved and the contract itself has been finalized and signed.
