About this opportunity
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii has published a Special Notice announcing its first-ever Large Prime Matchmaking Event scheduled for April 28, 2026, at the Oahu Veteran's facility in Honolulu. This is a free networking event designed to facilitate direct connections between small business vendors and major prime contractors currently holding construction and architecture/engineering contracts with NAVFAC. The notice was originally posted on March 3, 2026, with a May 1, 2026 due date, and includes a revision updating matchmaking session lengths and adding additional participating large prime contractors. The event represents an initiative by the Department of the Navy to expand subcontracting opportunities within Hawaii's construction sector.
The primary objective of this matchmaking event is to enable small business contractors to directly pitch their capabilities to large prime contract awardees seeking to expand their subcontracting vendor networks. Interested small business vendors must register on-site on the day of the event between 7:15 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., with early arrival strongly encouraged as registration operates on a first-come, first-served basis with limited timeslot capacity. Participation is exclusively limited to small business vendors, and there is no advance registration required. Attendees will participate in 10 to 15-minute rotating sessions with large prime contractors of their choosing, with sessions running from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 12:30 p.m. Thirteen large prime contractors have confirmed attendance, including firms such as Hensel Phelps Construction Company, The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, Black & Veatch, and others, with additional primes potentially joining before the event date.
