ENDIST Honolulu

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Honolulu is a sub-agency of the Army Corps of Engineers that executes military construction and infrastructure development across Hawaii and the Pacific basin, procuring design-build, design-bid-build, and other transaction authority (OTA) construction services primarily for Army installations in the region.

The Honolulu District has awarded 3,098 federal contracts since 1979, with combined potential value of $8.14 billion and combined dollars obligated of $8.43 billion. Award volume has fluctuated across the last five years: 96 awards in 2022, 77 in 2023, 72 in 2024, 99 in 2025, and 31 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on August 19, 2026. About 5 percent of recent awards carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, modifications, or below-threshold purchase orders.

Competitive concentration among prime contractors over the last five years is fragmented. ECC Constructors LLC leads by award count with 16 awards worth $785.6 million in combined potential value, followed by Nan Inc. with 14 awards worth $514.6 million. By potential value, the top five primes account for 18 percent of combined recent contract value; by award count, the top five account for 17 percent of recent awards. The Honolulu District has awarded 620 distinct prime contractors across portfolio history.

The set-aside mix is dominated by unrestricted competitions: 59 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. 8(a) sole-source awards represent 19 percent of the portfolio, and total small-business set-asides (including 8(a), competitive 8(a), and small business) represent 20 percent combined. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone, and woman-owned small business designations each represent less than 1 percent of awards.

Recent contract opportunities span military construction, facility leases, and regional infrastructure. A special notice posted October 21, 2026 (W9128A-27-Z-1CT5) announces four upcoming OTA procurements: a $207.6 million progressive design-build for a vehicle parking garage at Tripler Army Medical Center, multiple water-infrastructure design-build-to-budget projects totaling $279 million across Helemano Military Range and Schofield Barracks, and a $248 million progressive design-build for a combined operations center at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. All four OTA procurements are scheduled for procurement planning to begin in Quarter 1 of FY27. A $495 million small-business multiple award task order contract for design-build and design-bid-build construction services across Hawaii (solicitation W9128A26RA007) is currently open with a due date of January 8, 2027. A prequalification-of-sources announcement (W9128A26RA023) for construction contractors supporting Kwajalein Atoll and other Pacific locations closed on October 2, 2026, with three amendments issued. An open lease solicitation for 5,300 to 5,800 square feet of office space in Honolulu for Armed Forces Recruiting purposes (DACA455270014200) is due November 15, 2026.
