HDR Engineering, Inc.

HDR Engineering, Inc., doing business as HDR Hawaii Pacific Engineers, is a 100% employee-owned subsidiary of HDR, Inc. (Omaha, Nebraska) that provides architect-engineer services, civil engineering design, water infrastructure modernization, and facilities engineering for military installations and federal infrastructure projects as a prime contractor across the Pacific region and South Korea. The vendor competes exclusively under full-and-open contract vehicles with no set-asides; all 183 prime awards carry no set-aside designations.

HDR Hawaii Pacific Engineers holds five major indefinite delivery contracts worth a combined $747 million. The $249 million single-award NAVFAC Pacific contract (awarded March 2022, runs through March 2027) funds indefinite-quantity architect-engineer services for civil projects across Hawaii, Guam, and subordinate Pacific military installations, with 26 task orders placed totaling $62.1 million. The $190 million Honolulu District IDIQ (awarded January 2025, runs through February 2030) covers civil engineering A-E services across Hawaii, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia, American Samoa, and the Marshall Islands. The $249 million Japan District multiple-award contract (awarded October 2024, runs through October 2031) provides architect-engineer services supporting military engineering planning and design throughout Japan under the Status of Forces Agreement. The $200 million Far East District IDIQ (awarded December 2022, runs through June 2028) supports architect-engineer and construction services across South Korea military installations; 12 delivery orders total approximately $21.1 million. The $18 million Honolulu District unrestricted A-E contract (awarded August 2022, runs through August 2027) has funded roughly $13.6 million in task orders for water systems and military family housing projects. Recent representative work includes a $13.6 million delivery order for Phase 2 of the U.S. Space Force Operations Complex at Osan Air Base, South Korea (completion February 2028); a $10.4 million potable water system design for Tripler Army Medical Center and Fort Shafter, Hawaii (completion September 2027); a $5.92 million Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam wastewater treatment facility study (completion October 2026); a $23.9 million Red Hill Water Treatment Facility full design-bid-build contract at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (completion June 2029); and a $3.91 million Amphibious Combat Vehicle wash rack facility design at Camp Schwab, Okinawa (completion October 2026).

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to Navy and Army Corps of Engineers customers across the Pacific. The top five funding agencies account for 90 percent of awards by count and 97 percent by potential value: Naval Facilities Engineering Command leads with 92 awards ($550.6 million combined potential value); the Honolulu District ranks second with 31 awards ($275.6 million); the Japan District third with 3 awards ($255.4 million); the Far East District fourth with 6 awards ($215.1 million); and Navy Installations Command fifth with 26 awards ($33.6 million). A critical recompete exposure window exists in the next twenty-four months: 36 awards with combined potential value of $110.4 million reach ultimate completion, creating recompete risk and opportunity for competitive displacement.

Recent activity shows volatility, with award volume at 21 in 2022, declining to 11 in 2023, recovering to 13 in 2024 and 16 in 2025, and 5 awards through March 2026. Prime-award dominance is the vendor's posture — 183 of 184 awards (99 percent) are prime contracts or IDVs; only one sub-award appears in the source (a Hawaii Department of Business grant sub-award to develop energy efficiency strategy). Subcontractor relationships are deep across Pacific infrastructure specialists: Pacific Geotechnical Engineers, Coffman Engineers, Controlpoint Surveying, Element Environmental, MK Engineers (minority-owned Asian-Pacific American small business), Mechanical Enterprises Inc. (minority-owned small disadvantaged business), and Tom Nance Water Resource Engineering appear repeatedly on water systems, geotechnical, structural, electrical, and environmental engineering support. Place of performance spans Hawaii, Guam, South Korea, Japan, and other Pacific locations with administrative oversight at Honolulu. The vendor's work portfolio is concentrated in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) — 174 of 174 categorized awards — with PSC codes dominated by Architect and Engineering-General (70 awards) and Architect and Engineering-Other classifications (64 awards), signaling specialization in facility design, infrastructure modernization, and water systems for defense installations in the Indo-Pacific theater.
