Purchase Order W912HV25P0013

Hawaii International Environmental Services Inc. (HIES), an SBA-certified women-owned small business operating through its Japan Branch Office, has been awarded a $1.42M firm-fixed-price purchase order by the Defense Department's ENDIST Japan office to provide environmental conservation services focused on invasive species management at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of February 19, 2029, represents a specific task order issued under HIES's broader service agreements supporting U.S. military installations throughout Japan. The award is funded under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) acquisition program, which facilitates construction, maintenance, environmental services, and infrastructure improvements at U.S. military installations operating under formal agreements with host nations.

This contract aligns with HIES's core competencies in environmental compliance and natural resource management for Department of Defense facilities. The company currently maintains two significant indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) vehicles totaling over $53M with Navy Installations Command and Naval Facilities Engineering Command Far East through 2029-2030, from which similar task orders for environmental assessment, conservation, and compliance services are issued. No socioeconomic set-aside designation was applied to this award, consistent with the international contracting requirements and host nation regulations typical of overseas military construction and environmental service contracts.
