County Of Maui

County of Maui, doing business as Maui Calls At MACC, is a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Wailuku, Hawaii, that receives federal grants as a prime recipient across disaster recovery, public transit, housing, community development, emergency services, and natural resources management. The County is not a federal contractor in the traditional sense — it holds no federal prime contracts, no IDIQs, and no parent contract vehicles — but instead acts as a recipient of federal grants and occasional purchase orders from federal agencies, most prominently the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster recovery work following the 2023 Maui wildfires.

The County's federal award footprint has grown sharply in the past two years, driven by disaster recovery funding. Recent activity shows eight awards in 2022, thirteen in 2023, forty-nine in 2024, and forty-one in 2025, reflecting the influx of federal assistance tied to FEMA declaration DR-4724-HI and related disaster impacts. Combined obligated dollars across all federal awards total $1.82 billion against a combined potential value of $1 million, indicating that the source's potential-value field does not reliably capture the scale of the County's actual federal grant receipts — actual obligated amounts far exceed stated ceiling values, particularly in the large disaster recovery grants.

The County's grant portfolio concentrates heavily on FEMA-funded disaster recovery and resilience work. FEMA accounts for seventy-eight of the County's one hundred eighty-four total awards and leads customer concentration by award count. The Department of Housing and Urban Development, split across the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (nineteen awards) and the Public and Indian Housing Office (eleven awards), is the second major customer, followed by the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (six awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration (six awards), and the National Endowment for the Arts, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The award count distribution reflects 65% concentration in the top five federal agencies.

Representative prime grant work spans multiple mission areas. In transit modernization, the County received $6.25 million on September 9, 2025, under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) to procure five hybrid electric replacement buses for the Maui Bus system. In the same month, the County drew $3.488 million to purchase four ADA-compliant commuter expansion buses. The Federal Transit Administration has funded multiple formula grants for capital bus procurement and operating expenses for the Maui Department of Transportation. In disaster recovery and community development, HUD awarded the County $1.639 billion on May 2, 2025, under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery and Mitigation program (CFDA 14.228) for long-term recovery, infrastructure restoration, housing reconstruction, and mitigation activities following presidentially declared disasters. The County also holds recurring Community Development Block Grant formula awards (CFDA 14.228) and an Emergency Solutions Grant award (CFDA 14.231) for $191,693 to fund street outreach, emergency shelter, and homelessness prevention services. The Environmental Protection Agency awarded two cooperative agreements totaling $2.276 million (one for $1.526 million on July 1, 2025, for the Haiku-Kauhikoa water tank replacement project under CFDA 66.202, and one for $750,000 for R-1 recycled water distribution system expansion design and engineering). The County also operates the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program under CFDA 94.002, having received $389,458 from the Corporation for National and Community Service on June 24, 2026, to recruit and manage volunteers ages 55 and older.

The County acts as a prime grant recipient on all major federal awards but appears as a sub-recipient on one hundred nine awards, primarily disaster recovery sub-awards flow through the Hawaii Department of Defense, the Hawaii State Department of Education, the Hawaii Department of Health, the University of Hawaii, and the Hawaii Department of Transportation. These sub-awards typically fund Maui County department-specific disaster recovery activities — debris removal, emergency protective measures, management costs, and equipment purchases — across the Department of Public Works, Department of Fire and Public Safety, Department of Environmental Management, Emergency Management Agency, Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Water Supply, and Department of Housing and Human Concerns. Nine awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and thus face recompete or renewal activity.

The County's structure includes named subsidiaries: the Maui County Prosecuting Attorney, Maui County Economic Development, the Department of Environmental Management, and the County of Maui Board of Water Supply. The Board of Water Supply is a utility-focused subsidiary that has received federal grants for water infrastructure and resilience projects, grounding the County's presence in NAICS codes tied to utilities and water services.
