Hawaii HB988 amends procurement laws to allow non-selected offerors to request debriefings and mandates timely responses from procurement officers.

Hawaii HB988 modifies the state's procurement process by allowing non-selected offerors to submit written requests for debriefings within three working days of contract award postings. The procurement officer must then provide a prompt debriefing, excluding specific details until any protests are resolved and the contract is executed. Offerors can file written protests within five working days of debriefing completion. The bill does not affect existing rights, penalties, or proceedings.
