About the company
Ka'ala Systems Technology Corporation (Ka'ala / KST), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and SBA 8(a) certified firm headquartered in Aiea, Hawaii, operates as a prime contractor delivering base telecommunications infrastructure, IT professional services, and facility support across the Department of Air Force and Navy through competitive 8(a) set-asides and full-and-open awards. The vendor competes predominantly under 8(a) and SDVOSB designations, with 100 percent of its award footprint arriving as prime contracts rather than subcontractor work.
KST's capability portfolio centers on telecommunications operations, maintenance, and infrastructure installation—fiber optic cabling, conduit and Maxcell infrastructure, VoIP phone systems, LAN drops, network switches, and cable trays—supported by IT professional services in network engineering, system administration, and information assurance. Representative work includes a $6 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Air Combat Command for base telecommunication system services at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico (Competitive 8(a), October 2022 through September 2027), a $3.9 million 8(a) sole-source purchase order with Air Education and Training Command for base telecommunications system operations and maintenance at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas (April 2022 through March 2027), a $6.9 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order under the 8(a) STARS III GWAC with the Defense Health Agency for information management–IT services to the 59th Medical Wing at Lackland Air Force Base (October 2022 through September 2026), a $3.57 million 8(a) sole-source purchase order with the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Qlik Business Intelligence Support Services (January 2023 through January 2028), and a $393 million multiple-award blanket purchase agreement with Air Force Materiel Command for sustainment and operational readiness of voice, Giant Voice, cable, antenna, microwave, and Land Mobile Radio systems across all Department of Air Force installations worldwide (August 2025 through August 2030).
Customer concentration runs heavily toward Air Force accounts. The top five agencies by award count account for 78 percent of awards: Air Combat Command leads by far with 176 awards and $26.6 million combined potential value, followed by Army Installation Management Command Pacific Region (25 awards, $1.8 million), Air Education and Training Command (22 awards, $397.3 million), Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (13 awards, $23.2 million), and Navy Installations Command (11 awards, $17.1 million). By potential value, the distribution shifts dramatically: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors the portfolio with $50 billion in combined potential value across just 3 awards (the 8(a) STARS III GWAC and related vehicles), followed by Navy Naval Sea Systems Command ($3.96 billion across 4 awards), Air Education and Training Command ($397.3 million across 22 awards), Air Combat Command ($26.6 million across 176 awards), and Navy Expeditionary Combat Command ($23.2 million across 13 awards). This divergence signals that KST places many small individual task orders under its Air Force IDCs while carrying high-ceiling positions on enterprise-scale vehicles.
KST's primary parent vehicles are two single-award Air Force indefinite-delivery contracts: IDC FA480117D0002 with 127 task orders worth $6.2 million combined potential value and IDC FA480123D0001 with 77 task orders worth $8 million combined potential value. The vendor also operates under an Army IDC (W912CN15D0021, 23 task orders, $723 thousand), holds positions on the 8(a) STARS III GWAC (4 task orders, $11.8 million), and participates in the 8a Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services (3 task orders, $13.4 million). The new $393 million multiple-award BPA under the Information Technology Infrastructure Maintenance program represents the vendor's largest vehicle ceiling and extends through August 2030, covering voice and communications systems across the entire Department of Air Force footprint globally.
Activity has contracted in recent years: KST received 30 awards in 2022, 32 in 2023, 18 in 2024, 22 in 2025, and 5 to date in 2026. Seven awards carrying combined potential value of $12.3 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore present recompete exposure. The vendor's total prime footprint stands at 316 awards across 33 distinct customer agencies, with combined potential value of $54.47 billion—a figure heavily weighted by the mega-ceiling GSA and Navy vehicles.
Service Contract Inventory reporting shows modest SCI-captured invoicing: $6.1 million across FY2022–FY2025, with peak activity in FY2022 ($2.7 million, 0.8 FTEs), declining to FY2024 ($1.6 million, 2.8 FTEs), and no reportable FY2025 invoicing in the SCI dataset. Government-paid hourly rates on service contracts ran a median of $79.96/hr with a 10th–90th percentile band of $70.71–$85.71/hr. KST names four subcontractors across its prime SCI records but reports zero average sub-hours share, indicating the vendor self-performs substantially all labor on service contracts captured in SCI. GSA Schedule labor categories span 25 roles priced from $58.94/hr (administrative specialist, high school education) to $221.66/hr (program manager, bachelor's degree, twelve years experience), with most positions requiring security clearance eligibility. The vendor's category concentration runs heavy to wired telecommunications carriers (129 and 79 awards across overlapping NAICS codes), security systems services (24 awards), office administrative services (18 awards), and computer systems design (10 awards), with PSC codes dominated by IT and telecom network support labor, telecommunications network management, and equipment maintenance and repair.
