About the company
Wai.org Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Honolulu, Hawaii, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient and subcontractor on federal water infrastructure and environmental grants and contracts, delivering community engagement, workforce training, and technical assistance for decentralized wastewater systems in rural, small, and tribal communities. The vendor has no prime federal awards and does not hold seats on government-wide vehicles or agency IDIQs; all five tracked awards across the past twenty months route through prime recipients or contractors.
Wai.org's work centers on decentralized wastewater treatment, cesspool remediation, and associated workforce development for island and rural communities. Under a December 2024 sub-award from PICHTR (Pacific International Center For High Technology Research), Wai.org designed and oversaw expansion of Hawaii's decentralized wastewater training program and led the design and launch of a statewide Decentralized Wastewater Resource and Training Center. A more recent October 2025 sub-grant from the same prime recipient tasks Wai.org with developing a 12-week hybrid HDRME (Hybrid Decentralized Wastewater Resource Management and Education) training program for community leaders, service providers, and regulatory officials; establishing Responsible Management Entities in Maui and Hawaii County; and conducting community outreach on cesspool issues and decentralized wastewater management. Under the University of South Florida's NSF Convergence Accelerator awards (an March 2024 Track K grant on resilient, equitable water systems for islands and a July 2025 Future Water Systems award titled "Honu — Adaptive Decentralized Wastewater Infrastructure Solutions for Island Communities"), Wai.org contributes technical expertise on adaptive decentralized systems. Most recently, in October 2025, Wai.org subcontracted to Eastern Research Group Inc. under EPA's Closing America's Wastewater Access Gap Program to provide community engagement and meeting facilitation for technical assistance requests.
The vendor's customer agencies are EPA (3 awards) and NSF (2 awards), accounting for 100% of recent sub-award activity. Combined dollar obligation across all awards totals $4.3 million. The vendor's footprint is nascent and concentrated in wastewater policy and training delivery; all activity routes through research institutions and environmental services primes rather than direct federal prime relationships.
