Respondents must be licensed to practice law in Hawaii and provide a comprehensive capabilities statement highlighting relevant experience.
The opportunity is not set aside for any specific business type, though small businesses, SDVOSBs, and VOSBs are encouraged to apply under NAICS code 541110 with a size standard of $15.5 million. The contract will have a base period from February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, with four additional one-year option periods, potentially extending the contract through January 31, 2030.
