RFPs

HTA is committed to a solicitation process that is comprehensive, fair and impartial.

Request for Proposals

HTA regularly issues open solicitations – Requests for Proposals (RFP), Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) and Invitations for Bids (IFB) – to secure professional services from qualified contractors in support of HTA’s mission on behalf of the State of Hawai‘i.

HTA is committed to a solicitation process that is comprehensive, fair and impartial. The process is overseen by an attorney trained in government procurement and contracts. All applicants are subject to the same rules and restrictions to ensure the integrity of the process. Evaluator identities are kept confidential during the procurement process, and individual evaluator scores are not shared in order to avoid undue influence. Proposal requirements and the steps in the evaluation process are explained in detail to prospective applicants, and the applicants who do not win are provided with their final evaluation score breakdown in comparison with the winning score in order to provide context and to ensure transparency. Through its commitment to integrity and transparency, the HTA is able to gain trust in the vendor community thus increasing competition, resulting in better quality and value for the State of Hawai‘i.  

Interested parties shall proceed to the HANDS website; https://hands.ehawaii.gov/hands/opportunities, or HIePRO website; https://hiepro.ehawaii.gov/sav-search.html, to view the RFP documents and to submit your proposal.

The State has established the Hawaiʻi Awards & Notices Data System (HANDS) and the Hawaiʻi State eProcurement System (HIePRO)  to promote an open and transparent system for vendors to compete for state contracts electronically. There are currently no active solicitations.
