ABOUT US
An NHO and 8(a) Company
As a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO)-owned company, Akahi is an authorized participant in the SBA 8(a) program. This allows us to receive sole-source contracts, resulting in a much faster acquisition process. In addition, NHO-owned 8a companies like ours may receive awards of any value within the Department of Defense (DoD) or awards of up to $4 million for non-DoD federal agencies.

There are numerous benefits to contracting with us:
- You gain a sole-source contracting vehicle
- We can accept direct awards of any size within the DoD
- We can accept direct awards up to $4 million in all federal agencies outside of the DoD
- Significant reduction of project acquisition lead times
- We can work with you to customize Statements of Work (SOWs) which match your specific program requirements
- Progress toward achieving small business contracting goals
- The comfort of working with a proven management team with an outstanding performance track record
Helping the Community
