Honolulu Disposal Service, Inc.

Honolulu Disposal Service, Inc., a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned Subchapter S corporation based in Honolulu, Hawaii, operates as a 100% prime contractor delivering refuse collection, dumpster rental, recycling, and specialized foreign trash disposal services to federal agencies, particularly the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security. The vendor competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations across its recent federal footprint.

Honolulu Disposal Service is a subsidiary of parent company Oahu Waste Services Inc., also minority-owned and Asian-Pacific American-owned. The vendor has maintained federal contractor status since at least 2001 and has built a concentrated customer base anchored to Hawaii-based military installations and the Coast Guard.

Customer concentration is acute and defense-heavy. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command dominates the award portfolio—456 awards carrying $60.8 million in combined potential value—accounting for roughly 48% of all awards and 55% of total potential value. The Department of the Navy Installations Command (25 awards, $27.4 million) and the Department of the Army Pacific Command (4 awards, $5.9 million) form the second tier. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard has issued 26 awards worth $2 million. Together, these four agencies account for approximately 88% of award count and 87% of combined potential value. The vendor serves 31 distinct federal agencies but maintains operations exclusively in Hawaii, with all performance concentrated in Honolulu and surrounding Oahu facilities, including Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Schofield Barracks, and Coast Guard Base Honolulu.

Honolulu Disposal holds positions on five Navy indefinite-delivery contracts (IDCs). The largest is IDC N6247818D2470 with 471 task orders generating $18.2 million in combined potential value; IDC N6274298D2137 carries 155 task orders; IDC N6274204D2229 spans 64 task orders valued at $267 thousand; IDC N6275593D2982 has 47 task orders; and IDC N6247809D2319 spans 10 task orders worth $20.6 million. A newly awarded October 2025 Army Pacific multiple-award indefinite delivery contract carries a $5.205 million ceiling for dumpster and refuse services across Oahu military installations through October 2030.

Concrete representative work includes a $3.581 million delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command (September 2022–August 2023) for waste management at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam; a $1.038 million definitive contract with the Coast Guard (July 2022–June 2027) for refuse and recycling collection at USCG Base Honolulu; and a $502 thousand Army Pacific purchase order (September 2024) for dumpster services across Pearl Harbor and Honolulu areas. Recent 2025–2026 awards include a $115,081 Army Pacific delivery order for Oahu dumpster services (October 2025), multiple Coast Guard foreign trash removal purchase orders at $5,544–$11,089 each, and a $75,889 Navy purchase order (April 2025–April 2030) for refuse and recycling at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies.

The award trajectory shows significant volatility. The portfolio contained 169 awards in 2022, dropped to 95 in 2023, then contracted sharply to 3 awards in 2024 and 7 in 2025, with only 1 award recorded in 2026 through the data snapshot. Only 2 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, carrying combined potential value of $1.3 million—a modest recompete exposure.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures only a narrow slice of federal service work above the $150,000 reporting threshold. SCI records show $490 thousand in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $288 thousand; FY2023: $202 thousand; FY2024: $0), reflecting 0.3 FTEs in FY2022 and 0.2 FTEs in FY2023 on prime contracts. Government-paid hourly rates ranged from $450–$621/hr on SCI work. The vendor self-performed all reported hours with zero subcontractor engagement on SCI-reportable contracts. SCI figures represent only service contracts above the reporting threshold; the vast majority of Honolulu Disposal's federal revenue derives from goods purchases (dumpsters, trash bins, hauling equipment) and micro-purchases below $150,000, which SCI does not capture.

The vendor's footprint remains geographically and customer-concentrated in Hawaii, tightly integrated with Pearl Harbor-area military base operations and the local Coast Guard presence, with no apparent national footprint or diversified customer base outside the Pacific.
