Hawaiian Telcom, Inc.

Hawaiian Telcom, Inc., a for-profit telecommunications provider headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, delivers wired and wireless voice, data, internet, and networking services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across 57 customer agencies, competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations. The company operates through subsidiary entities including Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc. and Hawaiian Telcom Federal LLC, and competes across multiple federal contract vehicles serving defense and civilian agencies in Hawaii and the Pacific region.

Hawaiian Telcom's federal footprint centers on Defense and Army telecommunications infrastructure. The top five customers by award count—Defense Information Systems Agency (564 awards, $1.2 million combined potential value), Department of the Army (328 awards, $10 million), Department of the Navy Installations Command (224 awards, $3.7 million), Department of the Air Force (157 awards, $215 thousand), and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (51 awards, $655 thousand)—account for 74 percent of recent awards. By dollar value, the ranking shifts toward larger Army programs: the Department of the Army Cyber Command (45 awards, $12.1 million) and the Hawaii Army National Guard (31 awards, $6.8 million) anchor the portfolio alongside the base Army contracting organization and Navy Installations Command. NAICS concentration reflects the core business: 433 awards in Wired Telecommunications Carriers (517111), with secondary representation in Wireless Telecommunications Carriers and Satellite Telecommunications. PSC codes track telecommunications and IT transmission services across network, hardware, and integrated solutions categories.

Hawaiian Telcom holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Army valued at $3.1 million through June 2030 covering recurring commercial telecommunications services for Army installations across Hawaii, including new installations, modifications, relocations, and circuit terminations. Representative prime contracts include a $410,768.88 definitive contract with the Hawaii National Guard (awarded March 2026) for full-mesh network connectivity connecting primary and armory sites with wired connections at 15 locations in Kapolei; multiple $90,000–$135,000 BPA calls from the Army for commercial telecommunication services at Schofield Barracks and Fort Shafter through 2025–2026; and numerous Navy Installations Command purchase orders in the $1,600–$62,500 range for commercial business line services, dedicated internet access (1GB and 10GB), and voice services at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and subsidiary locations through 2027–2030. The company also holds positions on multiple Defense Information Systems Agency Basic Ordering Agreements (DCA20079H0067 with 198 task orders, DCA20085H0073 with 162 task orders, and DCA20092H0102 with 122 task orders) and Indefinite Delivery Contracts supporting DoD telecommunications requirements.

Beyond contracts, Hawaiian Telcom is a federal grant recipient. The company was awarded an $87.5 million project grant from the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (CFDA 11.033) under the Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure Grant Program, dated July 1, 2023, with ultimate completion June 30, 2028. Project Urgent builds 15 terrestrial and undersea fiber optic routes totaling over 600 kilometers across five Hawaiian islands (Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii Island) to expand middle-mile broadband availability and improve resiliency in unserved and underserved communities, including Hawaiian Home Lands.

Recent activity shows 2 awards in 2026, 51 in 2025, and 24 in 2024, reflecting a contract vehicle-driven portfolio dominated by DISA Basic Ordering Agreements and Navy/Army recurring purchase orders. Fifty-two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.5 million, representing moderate recompete exposure concentrated in Navy and Army commercial business line and dedicated service renewals. The vendor competes as 100 percent prime, with no sub-award footprint in the source data.
