Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across Hawaii.

Engineering in Hawaii
In Q3 2026, Hawaii has 50 active Engineering Services opportunities distributed across 4 cities, but the market is top-heavy: JBPHH commands 42% of all activity. JBPHH, Unknown, Honolulu together hold 98% of statewide deal flow. Contractors entering Hawaii's Engineering Services market should treat JBPHH as the primary beachhead before expanding to secondary markets.
In Hawaii's Engineering Services sector, JBPHH dominates with 21 active opportunities (42% of state volume) in Q3 2026, followed by Unknown at 21 and Honolulu at 7. The relatively close race between top cities indicates a competitive market where ranking shifts are common as new solicitations post. Contractors should track how these rankings evolve seasonally, as federal fiscal year-end (September) often reshuffles city-level activity.
Two agencies shape Hawaii's Engineering Services market: Federal Acquisition Service leads at 35% of awards, with U.S. Coast Guard at 26%. Together they represent 61% of the state's 46 recorded contract actions and $2.4B in total spending. Winning with either agency provides the past-performance foundation to compete for the other's work. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — Unknown, AECOM TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC., OTAK, INC. — hold 79% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
The recompete pipeline across Hawaii shows 3 Engineering Services contracts approaching renewal, valued at an estimated $105.0M combined. Notably, 100% of these carry high takeover signals — a rate that suggests systemic dissatisfaction with incumbent performance or deliberate agency strategies to rotate vendors. Department of the Navy drives the largest concentration of recompete activity, making it the key agency for contractors positioning for contract takeover.
