About the company
Kaihonua LLC, a Native Hawaiian Organization-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) small business headquartered in Kailua, Hawaii, operates as a prime contractor delivering information technology, telecommunications, and systems engineering services to federal defense and civilian agencies. The vendor competes across a split posture: primarily under 8(a) sole-source and competitive set-asides for smaller task orders, and on full-and-open vehicles for larger strategic contracts. Kaihonua holds a $151 billion ceiling award on the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) multiple-award IDIQ (December 2025–December 2035), which represents a historic expansion into defense strategy and advanced multi-domain capabilities but carries a $500 initial delivery order.
The vendor's recent prime work concentrates on Pacific theater IT operations and defense command support. Top customers by award count—Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (48 awards, $11.8 million potential value), Navy Installations Command Naval Computer and Telecommunications (36 awards, $4.2 million), Air Force Pacific Air Forces (27 awards, $51.6 million), Navy Pacific Fleet Forces (21 awards, $5.7 million), and Defense Information Systems Agency (20 awards, $14.4 million)—account for 61% of the 251-award portfolio. By potential value, however, the MDA SHIELD IDIQ inflates the top customer ranking; Department of Army Cyber Command anchors a more modest $1.15 billion through the $990 million Information Management Communications Services IV (IMCS IV) multiple-award IDIQ and related task orders, including a $13.5 million firm-fixed-price delivery order for Army Contract Writing System support at Warren, Michigan (April 2025–March 2030). Kaihonua also maintains a single-award Naval Information Warfare Systems Command indefinite delivery contract ($6.4 million, March 2022–March 2027) for technology integration center engineering support and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule position (30 labor categories, $48.88–$282.04 hourly rates, security-cleared roles across program management, software development, and IT specialization).
SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $54.9 million across FY2022–FY2025 on prime contracts above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Activity scaled from $8 million in FY2022 (44.2 FTEs) to a $17.8 million peak in FY2023 (88.0 FTEs) before moderating to $10.2 million in FY2025 (48.5 FTEs); the FY2024 spike to 1,473 FTEs reflects a single large contract reporting methodology. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI prime contracts run a median of $80.15/hr, with senior program management roles reaching $105–$282/hr on the GSA schedule. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Kaihonua subcontracts approximately 70% of total contractor hours to an average of 21 named subcontractors per fiscal year, indicating a delivery model reliant on subs for labor scaling rather than direct-hire capacity.
Kaihonua's primary award portfolio skews toward small-ticket Navy operational support: bench stock supplies to Naval Computer and Telecommunications in Japan and Sasebo (2022–2023), project coordinator and cyber training support to Pacific Fleet Forces ($75k–$374k task orders, 2022–2024), and deployable cyber range and joint mission integration services ($368k–$723k, 2022–2026). The vendor also holds smaller BPA calls through Navy Installations Command (26 awards averaging $100k–$190k for fiber infrastructure and IT supplies) and carries a $2.66 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with Army Pacific Command for access control and CCTV installation at Fort Shafter, Hawaii (June 2022–April 2026). A high-visibility $47.4 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract with Army Cyber Command for Fort Hood, Texas network enterprise and IT services (August 2022–February 2027) delivered $10.2 million in FY2025 on 48.5 FTEs at a blended $101.49/hr rate, with 67% of hours subcontracted to five named subs.
Top parent vehicles by task-order volume include Navy Installations Command BPAs HC101915A2002 (25 task orders, $2.5 million) and HC101920A0009 (21 task orders, $2 million), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command indefinite delivery contracts N6600122D0008 (25 task orders, $5.6 million) and N6600117D0078 (15 task orders, $2.2 million), and Army Corps of Engineers BPA W912CN14A0008 (7 task orders, $326 thousand). Kaihonua's NAICS concentration runs across Computer Storage Device Manufacturing (65 awards), Other Computer Related Services (58 awards), and Computer Systems Design Services (32 awards), with PSC coding dominated by IT and telecom operational support (40 awards) and ADP equipment/software testing and support (36 awards).
Activity has contracted significantly: 20 awards in 2022, declining to four in 2026 year-to-date, though this reflects the source snapshot rather than a company-wide trajectory shift. Five awards carry ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $48.4 million facing recompete risk—primarily task orders on existing Navy and Army vehicles rather than major contract vehicles. Kaihonua operates as a pure prime (100% of awards) with minimal subcontract exposure, positioning the vendor as a direct services provider to Pacific command structures and Army IT operations rather than a feeder to larger primes. The SHIELD IDIQ award, while strategically significant, carries no early-year delivery volume and does not yet translate to revenue realization.
