Neil <Nakai,< Incorporated

Neil Nakai, Incorporated, doing business as Neil Nakai Inc., is a Honolulu-based minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned small business that designs and constructs fuel storage tank systems and related infrastructure for federal facilities as a prime contractor operating under Total Small Business and competitive set-asides. The vendor holds self-certified small disadvantaged business status and competes predominantly in small-business-reserved procurements, with all sixteen recent awards (100% prime work, zero subcontract activity) positioned as direct contracts to federal agencies rather than task orders under government-wide vehicles.

Neil Nakai's customer concentration is diffuse across defense and civilian agencies. The top five customers by potential-value share account for 98% of combined potential value, led by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 21 (two awards, $512 thousand combined potential value) and anchored by a $495 thousand firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded April 10, 2026, for design and construction of a replacement diesel fuel storage tank system at the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System's Center for Aging facility in Honolulu, Hawaii. The replacement tank system features double-wall, 4-hour fire-rated design with concrete insulation, UL 2085 rating, and integral spill containment. Secondary customers include the Department of the Army Pacific Command ($25 thousand), the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center Honolulu ($21 thousand), and the Defense Information Systems Agency ($11 thousand). The vendor serves twelve distinct federal agencies in total across a portfolio of sixteen awards spanning 1994 to present.

Neil Nakai's capability portfolio centers on fuel storage tank design, construction, and replacement (three awards under Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations NAICS) and related plumbing, heating, and infrastructure repair work. Recent examples include a $20,776 purchase order from FDC Honolulu (May 27, 2025) to replace an above-ground fuel leak sensor system and a $2,620 Total Small Business purchase order from the Marine Corps (April 7, 2022) for underground storage tank tests. Activity is sparse and episodic — one award per year across 2019, 2020, 2022, 2025, and 2026 — with one award ($495 thousand) completing within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on the VA fuel tank replacement contract by April 2027. Combined dollars obligated across all awards ($923 thousand) exceed combined potential value ($588 thousand), indicating invoicing at higher rates than contract ceilings on completed work. The vendor maintains no federal vehicle membership, subcontractor footprint, or parent-contract teaming relationships in the source data.
