About the company
Ihs, The Institute For Human Services, Inc., doing business as Big Band Bash A Benefit For IHS, is a Honolulu-based nonprofit organization that operates as a prime contractor and sub-recipient delivering emergency residential housing, medical respite care, case management, and street outreach services to homeless veterans and vulnerable populations, with 52 percent of its federal awards held as prime and 48 percent as sub-recipient grants. The organization is a tax-exempt domestic shelter and nonprofit entity with no SBA small-business certifications; it competes in full-and-open procurements on behalf of federal and state grantors.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 dominates Ihs's customer concentration, representing 33 awards worth $25.3 million in combined potential value—the entirety of the organization's potential-value ranking—under the VA's Health Care for Homeless Veterans program. Ihs holds four active single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with VISN 21, each running through 2029–2031, with ceiling values of $5.648 million, $1.7 million, $1.5 million, and $2 million respectively. Recent delivery orders under these IDCs include a $511 thousand medical respite care order (August 2026–August 2027), a $215.441 thousand emergency residential housing order (April 2026–March 2027), and a $196.618 thousand Health Care for Homeless Veterans task order (September 2026–September 2027). The organization operates 24/7 staffed residential facilities in Honolulu providing meals, transportation, structured group activities, case management, and specialized support addressing veterans' medical, mental health, and substance abuse needs. NAICS 624221 (Temporary Shelters) and PSC Social-Other classify 25 of the organization's awards.
Beyond the VA, Ihs operates as a grant sub-recipient under the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (25 awards, primarily Child and Adult Care Food Program blocks flowing through the Hawaii State Department of Education), the Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (13 awards supporting emergency shelter operations, street outreach to unsheltered individuals, and permanent supportive housing under consolidated grants with Aloha United Way and the Hawaii Department of Human Services), and the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (3 awards for outreach and interim case management to homeless persons with serious mental illness). The organization also holds a prime grant award from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development issued February 17, 2023, for economic development and community project funding (Project Grant assistance type, ultimate completion August 31, 2031).
Activity has grown from three awards in 2022 to a peak of eighteen in 2025, with sixteen awards recorded in 2026. Combined potential value across all 87 awards (prime and sub) totals $25.3 million, with $23.9 million obligated (94 percent utilization). Only four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing $994 thousand in potential recompete exposure. The organization's footprint is geographically concentrated in Honolulu and the broader VISN 21 region across Oahu, Hawaii, with performance consistently delivered at that location under firm fixed-price pricing structures on non-set-aside designations.
