Pacific Air Forces

Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is the Air Force's principal operational command for military operations, training, and logistics across the Pacific region, managing contracting operations at major installations including Kadena Air Base (Okinawa), Andersen Air Force Base (Guam), Yokota Air Base (Japan), Hickam Air Force Base (Hawaii), Eielson Air Force Base (Alaska), and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (Alaska). The command executes contracts for base operations, infrastructure maintenance, equipment procurement, and specialized military support services across CONUS and OCONUS locations spanning the Pacific theater.

Pacific Air Forces has awarded 66,485 federal contracts cumulatively since 1997, with combined potential value of $27.1 billion and $18.44 billion obligated (68% of potential). Recent activity shows 1,890 awards in 2023, 1,941 in 2024, 1,666 in 2025, 751 in 2026, and 1 year-to-date award in 2027 through the most recently recorded award date of February 1, 2027. The contractor base spans 8,439 distinct primes.

Contract competition is highly fragmented by award count. Among the top five by recent award volume (last five years), HPI Federal LLC leads with 136 awards and $20.6 million combined potential value, followed by Tokyo Business Service Co., Ltd. (122 awards, $22.2 million) and Tanaka Gumi Tanaka Construction Konno Kensetsu JV (121 awards, $32.3 million); these top three account for only 7 percent of recent awards. By combined potential value over the same window, American Engineering Corporation dominates with 96 awards totaling $223.8 million, followed by Nippo Corporation (49 awards, $191.7 million), and Aleut Construction LLC (113 awards, $58.9 million), but this concentration represents just 2 percent of combined potential value, indicating transactional volume through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and below-threshold purchase orders across a dispersed vendor base.

Set-asides remain minimal relative to overall contracting volume. No set-aside designations account for 87 percent of awards (57,912); total small business set-asides represent 9 percent (5,885 awards), with Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source each at 1 percent (962 and 883 awards respectively). HUBZone and specialized small-business categories (WOSB, SDVOSB) each represent 1 percent or less.
