About the company
Hawaii Office of the State Librarian, a U.S. state government entity and child organization of the State of Hawaii, acts as the prime recipient of federal formula grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and administers those funds across the Hawaii State Public Library System. The entity has no federal contract prime awards; its federal footprint consists entirely of IMLS Grants to States awards under the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), CFDA 45.310, complemented by sub-award work under other state agencies' federal grants.
The vendor's customer concentration is narrow and stable. Four agencies account for 100% of recent awards: the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (12 awards), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (11 awards), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (2 awards), and the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (1 award). IMLS dominates the active pipeline — recent formula grants to Hawaii Office of the State Librarian total $2.324 million (award date October 1, 2025, completion September 30, 2027), $2.089 million and change (October 1, 2024–September 30, 2026), and earlier tranches dating to 2021. All IMLS Grants to States awards fund the same core capability set: integrated library system (ILS) infrastructure modernization, 24/7 virtual collections development including online databases and electronic resources, lifelong learning initiatives for skill development, innovative service model development, and continuing education and training for library staff to enhance technological competency. The Hawaii Office of the State Librarian may distribute sub-award funds competitively to eligible public, academic, research, school, and special libraries or library consortia throughout the state to execute these programs.
Activity has been sparse and variable. Two awards in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2023, three in 2024, and two in 2025 — a cumulative total of 26 awards generating $50.5 million in obligated federal dollars since 2006. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal near-term recompete pressure. The entity also receives sub-award allocations under other state agencies' federal grants: a March 2025 sub-award from the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations for basic digital skills training, an October 2024 sub-award from the Hawaii Department of Defense for state public library system management costs, and a March 2024 sub-award from the Hawaii Department of Defense for Lahaina Public Library reconstruction support.
