Contracting With Kīnā'ole

As an NHO-owned, SBA-certified 8(a) participant, Kīnā'ole offers rapid, cost-effective contracting through direct awards.

Kīnā'ole companies are eligible for sole-source awards in accordance with FAR 6.103-5(e) and FAR Part 19, with no Justification and Approval (J&A) required for awards under $30 million. This lets our customers procure services rapidly, at fair and reasonable prices, and with fewer uncertainties than the competitive bidding process.
