Hawaii National Guard

The Hawaii Army National Guard, a sub-agency of the Department of the Army, procures supplies, services, and equipment to support military operations and readiness across the Hawaiian Islands and conducts grant-based cooperative agreements with state-level counterparts to fund defense initiatives. The Guard executes contracts through standard Army acquisition vehicles and awards cooperative agreements to advance military readiness and homeland defense.

The Guard has issued 2,593 federal contracts since 2003, with combined potential value of $379.7 million and combined obligations of $404.6 million across 926 distinct prime contractors. Recent contract activity has averaged approximately 25 to 39 awards annually over the last five years, with 27 awards in 2022, 26 in 2023, 39 in 2024, 30 in 2025, and 4 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-04-22.

The contract competitive base is highly fragmented; the top five primes by award count hold only 18 percent of recent awards. Human Domain Solutions, LLC and Hawaiian Telcom, Inc. each captured 5 awards over the last five years, with combined potential values of $917 thousand and $1.9 million respectively. World Wide Technology LLC, Penn Enterprises Inc., and Carahsoft Technology Corp each received 4 or 5 awards but collectively represent minimal financial value. Concentration by potential value is even more dispersed—the top five by dollar value hold only 1 percent of combined potential value, indicating that the Guard's contract footprint is heavily distributed across a wide vendor base with generally small individual award amounts.

The set-aside mix reflects predominantly open competition: 80 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small business receives the next largest share at 12 percent, followed by 8(a) sole-source at 5 percent and competitive 8(a) at 1 percent. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, and other designated categories collectively represent less than 1 percent of awards.

The Guard has awarded 91 federal grants since 2013, obligating $327.3 million in federal dollars and $380.6 million total across all funding sources. Grant activity has remained steady at 9 awards annually from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent award issued on 2025-10-01. The grant recipient base is highly concentrated—only two distinct recipients have received awards over the last five years, and together they hold 100 percent of recent awards. The State of Hawaii Department of Defense dominates with 27 awards and $95.4 million federal obligation, while the State of Hawaii Government Adjutant General Directors Office received 9 awards for $25.9 million. All grant awards are structured as Cooperative Agreements.
