Hawaii Federal Spending — Week of 2026-03-22

Federal Spending in Hawaii, March 22-28, 2026

The federal government obligated $88,000 across three awards in Hawaii during the week of March 22-28, 2026, with the Department of Homeland Security capturing 81 percent of total spending through two separate contracts.

QU Construction LLC dominated the weekly spending cycle, securing a $59,000 contract from the Department of Homeland Security—representing 67 percent of all federal obligations in the state. Allied Marine & Industrial Services LLC followed with a $12,000 DHS contract, while a single $17,000 Department of Agriculture grant rounded out the week's activity. The combination of construction and marine services suggests federal focus on infrastructure and coastal security projects in Hawaii.

All three awards went to different contractors, with no single vendor capturing multiple contracts during the period. QU Construction LLC's $59,000 agreement represents the largest single federal commitment, though neither the firm nor the other two contractors show a pattern of sustained federal spending in the available data.

The Department of Homeland Security led federal activity in Hawaii for the week, obligating $71,000 across two separate contracts—more than four times the Department of Agriculture's single $17,000 grant. This concentration underscores DHS's ongoing presence and investment priorities in the island state, likely reflecting coastal security, border protection, or infrastructure resilience initiatives.

Contract awards dominated the spending mix, accounting for $71,000 of the $88,000 total, while grants represented only 19 percent of obligations. The relatively small award size and limited number of transactions suggest this was a routine week for federal spending in Hawaii, with no exceptionally large projects or unusual procurement patterns evident.
