Ink Arch, LLC

Ink Arch, LLC, a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business and Asian-Pacific American-owned firm based in Honolulu, Hawaii, operates as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) delivering architectural design, engineering services, and construction management to Department of Defense and military installations across Hawaii. The firm competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside vehicles, though two of its most recent IDIQs (the Air National Guard A-E contract and the Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District contract) carry partial or no set-aside designation. Ink Arch is structured as a limited liability company and carries primary NAICS codes 541310 (Architectural Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), with work classified under PSC codes for architect-engineer general and construction services.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Honolulu (ENDIST Honolulu) dominates both volume and dollars, accounting for 30 awards and $354.1 million combined potential value across the recent portfolio. The Air National Guard anchors the second-largest dollar position with two awards totaling $40 million, while the Navy (Naval Facilities Engineering Command and Navy Installations Command combined) represents 20 awards and $17.6 million combined potential value. These three customer lines account for 99% of combined potential value. The top five award-count customers cover 74% of all recent awards, but the dollars concentration is far steeper — ENDIST Honolulu alone represents 83% of combined potential value. Recent delivery-order work includes a $1.55 million Kawaihae Harbor Dolphin Repair project (ENDIST Honolulu, September 2024), a $1.499 million facility design and construction support task for Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Operations Support Training Center and USMEPCOM buildings (ENDIST Honolulu, September 2024), a $950 thousand Building 32 repair at Fort DeRussy (ENDIST Honolulu, September 2023), and a $843 thousand Fort Shafter Flats Building 1507 demolition order (ENDIST Honolulu, April 2026).

Ink Arch holds two large indefinite-delivery contracts. The $190 million USACE Honolulu District Architect-Engineer Services Contract (awarded March 2025, running through March 2030) represents the firm's primary vehicle; this multiple-award IDIQ carries an unrestricted designation and supports design of miscellaneous military and civil works projects across Hawaii, with individual task orders ranging from $25 thousand to $20 million. The $40 million Air and Army National Guard Architect-Engineer Contract (awarded August 2025, running through February 2031) provides a second large vehicle supporting vertical and horizontal construction programs for National Guard facilities across Hawaii under a partial small business set-aside. Five additional IDIQs (W9128A19D0010, DACA8303D0019, FA521507D0003, N6247817D5028, W9128A09D0004) collectively carry 54 task orders valued at $19.5 million combined potential value. Work is performed at military installations throughout Hawaii, including Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter, Pohakuloa Training Area, and Kalaeloa (Hawaii Army National Guard facility).

Award activity has been volatile: one award in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, six in 2025, and one in 2026 year to date. The combined potential value across all 100 awards totals $424.4 million, though only $25.1 million (6%) has been obligated. Five awards carrying $5.3 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete. The firm has no subcontract footprint in the source data — all activity reflects prime contracting relationships. Ink Arch's capability portfolio centers on architectural and engineering design, construction management, facility repairs and renovations, and infrastructure resilience support for military installations, with work concentrated exclusively in Hawaii and the Pacific theater.
