Mechanical Engineers Of Hawaii Corp

Mechanical Engineers Of Hawaii Corp, a small disadvantaged, Asian-Pacific American-owned architectural and engineering services firm based in Honolulu, operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering mechanical systems design, facility condition assessments, HVAC and chiller replacements, infrastructure maintenance, and design-bid-build construction package support to Department of Defense installations across Hawaii. The company is a self-certified SDB and holds a Total Small Business set-aside position on its primary indefinite delivery vehicle with the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Honolulu ($9.9 million ceiling through December 2027). Mechanical Engineers Of Hawaii competes predominantly under full-and-open mechanisms rather than exclusive set-aside programs, though set-aside designations appear on roughly 15–20% of delivery orders.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward Navy facilities engineering. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchors the portfolio with 24 awards valued at $38.3 million combined potential value, representing 63% of the vendor's total pipeline. The Navy Installations Command holds 18 awards worth $8 million, and the U.S. Marine Corps brings six awards at $3 million — together these three customers account for 77% of award count and exceed 85% of potential dollars. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Honolulu, which issued the company's largest single vehicle, places only three awards but the $9.9 million IDIQ and a $734,482 delivery order for mechanical and fuel systems engineering at Fort Shafter account for $10.6 million of combined value. NASA Goddard Space Center and other agencies together comprise less than 1% of the portfolio.

Mechanical Engineers Of Hawaii sits on five named indefinite delivery contract vehicles, each carrying multiple years of task-order authority. The largest by order count is NAVFAC IDIQ N6247820D5034 (25 task orders, $14.2 million combined potential value) supporting architectural and engineering work at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and subsidiary Navy installations across Hawaii. NAVFAC IDIQ N6247808D5002 carries 22 task orders worth $8.6 million for similar facility engineering scope. The $9.9 million Army Corps of Engineers vehicle (awarded December 2022, set-aside for small business, expiring December 2027) is designated for mechanical and fuel systems services and has generated task orders ranging from $2,500 to $734,482. Three additional Navy IDIQs (N6274200D0001, N6274290D0907, N6275590D0907) collectively carry 19 task orders. The company holds no GWAC, BPA, or government-wide vehicle seats — all authority is agency-specific or installation-level.

Recent work spans mechanical design, structural surveys, and construction-package preparation. Representative delivery orders include a $832,053 December 2025 task order from NAVFAC for demolition of underground storage tanks and installation of five aboveground storage tanks at Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai (completion September 2027); a $734,482 September 2025 delivery order from Army Corps of Engineers for mechanical and fuel systems engineering at Fort Shafter (completion March 2028); a $1.211 million December 2024 NAVFAC delivery order for repair of Building 1489 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (completion March 2026); and a $890,953 September 2024 Marine Corps delivery order for repair of combat training pool chemical storage at Marine Corps Base Hawaii (completion October 2026). Set-aside designations on recent awards include Total Small Business on the Marine Corps work and on a February 2022 $981,112 NAVFAC design-bid-build package for air conditioning system repair at JBPHH.

Activity has been volatile. The vendor recorded four awards in 2021, eight in 2022, one in 2023, eight in 2024, and six in 2025 — reflecting task-order lumping under the larger IDIQs rather than consistent volume growth. Seventeen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry $9.6 million in combined potential value and face recompete exposure. The company holds a single subcontract relationship: a sub-award to Alutiiq General Contractors, LLC for fuel system commissioning work on an October 2021 award. The overwhelming prime-to-sub ratio (112 to 1) reflects the vendor's position as a regional service provider on Navy and Army indefinite delivery vehicles rather than a major defense prime or systems integrator.
