Judiciary, State Of Hawaii

Judiciary, State Of Hawaii, doing business as District Court Of The First Circuit, is a U.S. government entity and state judicial agency that receives federal grant sub-awards from the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation as the prime grantee. The District Court operates as a sub-recipient only — all four recent federal awards in the source data are sub-grants, with no prime contract or IDV participation.

The District Court's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. All four sub-awards, dated October 1, 2024, fund impaired-driving intervention and driver education programs under NHTSA grant authority flowing through Hawaii's state transportation department. The work includes operating and evaluating the Honolulu DWI Court program; purchasing and deploying driver impairment goggles and developing corresponding 14-hour OVUII (Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant) training curriculum for statewide driver education classes; conducting instructor training through the National Safety Council's defensive driving program; and supporting attendance at local and national impaired driving conferences and meetings. The District Court also contributes to Hawaii's Strategic Highway Safety Plan and state Impaired Driving Plan implementation. The four sub-awards carry a combined value of $233 thousand, obligated entirely in 2024.

Customer concentration is absolute — all activity flows through the single grantor, NHTSA, via the state department of transportation prime. The District Court has no federal contract prime awardees, no prime contract vehicles, and no commercial federal contractor posture. This is a state judicial entity leveraging federal highway-safety grant funds to expand court-based DWI intervention capacity and driver remediation programming within Hawaii, not a vendor competing in the federal marketplace.
