Kapili Services, LLC

Kapili Services, LLC, a Native Hawaiian Organization-owned, 8(a)-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Orlando, Florida, operates as a prime contractor delivering professional, technical, administrative, and support services across defense, medical research, and public health domains to federal agencies. The company competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides (both competitive and sole-source) and full-and-open mechanisms, with 99% of its recent award footprint as prime contractor work.

Kapili's capability portfolio centers on medical research support services, aerospace medicine, occupational health, epidemiological analysis, program management, administrative staffing, and technical publications development. Representative prime work includes an $18.97 million Competitive 8(a) delivery order from the Defense Health Agency for research support services at its Orlando location (awarded December 2025, completion June 2029); a $49.2 million 8(a) Sole Source definitive contract from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for Defense Threat Reduction Information Analysis Center operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, managing nuclear testing archives and document digitization (awarded December 2021, completion December 2026); a $7.98 million delivery order from the Marine Corps for operations, administrative, and programmatic support to Program Manager Training Systems (awarded January 2023); and numerous CDC delivery orders for support services to the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases and Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, including epidemiological analysis, instructional systems design, electronic case reporting, and bioeffects research coordination.

Customer concentration is moderate and split between defense health and civilian health agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 81% of recent awards: the CDC Pittsburgh office leads by volume with 79 awards (combined potential value $189.7 million), followed by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (22 awards, $22.1 million), the Marine Corps (20 awards, $69 million), the Defense Health Agency (19 awards, $189.8 million), and Air Force Materiel Command (16 awards, $413.7 million). By potential value dollars, Air Force Materiel Command dominates at $413.7 million across 16 awards, anchored by a $400 million single-award indefinite delivery contract for mission support services to the 711th Human Performance Wing — Kapili's largest vehicle. The Defense Health Agency ($189.8 million) and CDC ($189.7 million) track closely behind, creating roughly equal three-way concentration across defense health, civilian health, and aerospace medicine.

Kapili holds a significant portfolio of parent vehicles. The largest is the $400 million single-award Air Force Materiel Command IDC for 711th Human Performance Wing mission support services, from which 19 delivery orders worth $16.4 million have been issued for specialized support including aerospace medicine, occupational health, biomedical research coordination, and administrative assistance at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and other Air Force locations. Under the Omnibus IV Military Medical Research and Development IDIQ (Defense Health Agency), Kapili has secured six delivery orders totaling approximately $59.6 million for research support services, human subject protection support, and Vision Center of Excellence education and clinical research program support, with performance at Fort Sam Houston, Bethesda, and Silver Spring. Kapili also holds three CDC IDIQ vehicles generating 36, 21, and 19 task orders respectively, focused on epidemiological support, administrative and technical services, and emerging infectious diseases program support.

Activity has contracted markedly in recent years. Award volume peaked in 2022 with 25 awards, declined to 13 in 2023, dropped to 3 in 2024, and recovered slightly to 7 in 2025. Over the same span, combined potential value peaked in 2021–2022 and has thinned; the vendor faces a 19-award recompete cliff (combined potential value $65.6 million) due for ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing material recompete risk.

Across SCI-reported service contracts (FY2022–FY2024), Kapili invoiced $63.2 million in total federal services revenue — $28.8 million in FY2022, $26.9 million in FY2023, and $7.6 million in FY2024 — with workforce scale declining from 144 FTEs in FY2022 to 103 FTEs in FY2024, consistent with the award volume contraction. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $80.59/hr, with senior labor pricing through $103.95/hr and entry-level work below $56.88/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for an average 10% share of total contractor hours, drawn from a pool of 20 named subs, indicating Kapili builds most delivery capacity internally while maintaining targeted subcontract relationships for specialized labor.
