Nakupuna Solutions, LLC

Nakupuna Solutions, LLC, a Native Hawaiian Organization-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) delivering staffing augmentation, program management, IT support, inventory management, and facilities support services to defense and civilian federal agencies, predominantly under 8(a) sole-source set-asides. The company is a child entity of Nakupuna Foundation, a Native Hawaiian Organization, and competes across 8(a) Business Development Program vehicles alongside unrestricted full-and-open awards.

Nakupuna's customer base spans 32 federal agencies with heavy concentration in Department of the Navy commands. The Naval Supply Systems Command (17 awards, $205 million combined potential value) and Naval Air Systems Command (15 awards, $91.9 million) anchor the prime portfolio by award count, while the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (4 awards, $50 billion combined potential value) and Naval Sea Systems Command (4 awards, $10.02 billion) dominate by ceiling dollars due to their indefinite-delivery vehicle architecture. Department of State Bureau of Administration (6 awards, $466.1 million), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (8 awards, $257.2 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command combine to represent 50% of recent awards. The top customers by potential value reflect Nakupuna's IDIQ holdings: the $999 billion OASIS+ Unrestricted multiple-award GWAC (Federal Acquisition Service, awarded December 2024, through December 2029), the $50 billion 8(a) STARS III government-wide acquisition contract (Federal Acquisition Service, awarded February 2022, through July 2026), and three single-award Navy indefinite-delivery vehicles totaling $180 million.

Representative prime work spans labor-hours and cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders across staffing and technical domains. The Department of State Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs issued a $95.2 million 8(a) sole-source staffing-support order (April 2023, through April 2028) that deployed 63.1 FTEs in FY2025 and invoiced $11.5 million that fiscal year. The Bureau of Administration issued a $42.0 million 8(a) sole-source professional-support delivery order (September 2025, through September 2028) for procurement support, vendor selection analysis, and management analyst services across U.S. Embassies and Consulates; in FY2025 this order generated $598 thousand in invoiced labor across 2.5 FTEs. The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command issued two non-set-aside development-and-configuration orders for Risk Management Information systems: a $23.3 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order (July 2025, through June 2027) invoiced at a blended $75.53/hr rate, deploying 11.5 FTEs and 23,860 contractor hours in FY2025 with 33 percent of hours subcontracted to Tio-Tek LLC (8(a)-certified economically disadvantaged women-owned small business), Craytek Inc. (woman-owned small business), and Kapsuun Group LLC (8(a)-certified Alaskan Native Corporation); and a prior $22.6 million order (June 2023, through June 2025) using the same subcontractor set. The Department of Defense C5ISR Center Headquarters received a $47.6 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract (November 2022, through November 2026) for command, control, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance center headquarters support; FY2025 SCI-reported $5.5 million in invoiced labor across 20.7 FTEs at a $127.89/hr blended rate, with subcontractors (T2S LLC, Envision Innovative Solutions Inc., Kapili Services LLC) performing 23 percent of total contractor hours.

Nakupuna places its highest volume of task orders under the Naval Supply Systems Command indefinite-delivery inventory management and accountability vehicle (IDC 19AQMM20D0004: 20 task orders, $332.4 million combined potential value), which generated orders including an $11.877 million firm-fixed-price NAVSUP Inventory Management and Accounting Year 5 order (March 2026, through March 2027) and a $989.8 thousand NAVSUP PAE analysis order (June 2026, through October 2026). The Naval Air Systems Command indefinite-delivery Chief Program Officer audit support vehicle (IDC N6852021D0004: 13 task orders, $44.1 million) carries orders such as a $5.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee CPO IOC support order (August 2023, through August 2027) and a $3.2 million order for CPO IOC support for PMA 272 (September 2022, through September 2026). The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command RMI indefinite-delivery contract (IDC N0018922DZ010: 9 task orders, $57.7 million) includes the development orders cited above. Nakupuna also holds the 8(a) STARS III GWAC (February 2022 award, $50 billion ceiling) and OASIS+ Unrestricted GWAC (December 2024 award, $999 billion ceiling), positioning it to accept task orders across all federal civilian and defense agencies.

Activity peaked in 2022 (28 awards) and has contracted to recent years — 10 awards in 2025 and 6 in 2026 through August — though the vendor's combined potential value of $61.76 billion reflects its $50 billion GWAC ceiling and multiple large Navy indefinite-delivery vehicles. Obligated dollars total $757.4 million (1% of combined potential value), indicating most value remains unexercised. Critically, 26 awards with combined potential value of $371.6 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, exposing significant recompete risk; Navy inventory management, Naval Air Systems Command CPO audit support, and State Department staffing vehicles are particularly at risk.

SCI-reported invoicing demonstrates contracted scale. Nakupuna invoiced $305 million across service contracts above the reporting threshold from FY2022 through FY2025, with FY2024 peaking at $105.3 million across 459 FTEs and FY2025 declining to $70.4 million across 322 FTEs. FY2022 invoiced $49.6 million (217 FTEs); FY2023 invoiced $79.6 million (262 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts span a median of $121.21/hr, with rates at the 10th percentile running $71.92/hr for lower-tier support labor and 90th percentile reaching $405.48/hr for senior technical and advisory roles. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average 10% share of total contractor hours, with 64 named subcontractors on record. Nakupuna self-performed substantially all labor on State Department staffing orders and Navy administrative contracts; sub-engagement concentrated on Navy technical development work, where CETA analysis, RMI systems, and C5ISR support leveraged firms like Tio-Tek, Craytek, Kapsuun Group, T2S LLC, Envision Innovative Solutions, and Kapili Services for engineering and cloud services.

Nakupuna's portfolio splits across Navy logistics and supply-chain work (inventory management, PAE analysis, SLDP systems), Navy platform-program support (CPO IOC and audit functions at Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Information Warfare Systems Command), State Department staffing (Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, Bureau of Administration, Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy, Bureau of Democracy Human Rights and Labor), and Defense Threat Reduction Agency operations and advisory services ($36.2 million OASIS SB delivery order for IMAX planning operations, and $100.4 million on the same vehicle for planning, operations, and advisory services with subcontractors Celerity Government Solutions LLC, Toffler Associates Inc., and Deftec Corporation). The vendor competes almost exclusively under set-asides, with 8(a) sole-source predominating across Defense customers and competitive 8(a) on smaller State Department work; full-and-open delivery orders appeared sporadically for Naval Information Warfare Systems Command technical development and Defense Threat Reduction Agency advisory services, suggesting Nakupuna reserves those channels for niche technical capabilities where set-aside vehicles do not apply.
