Federal Contracting Preferences Have Allowed The Hawaiian Native Corp. and DAWSON to Flourish

The U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) program gives qualified Native Hawaiian Organizations direct access to sole source contracts worth tens of millions of dollars. These special preferences have resulted in rapid growth in federal contract obligations for the Hawaiian Native Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Amounts are equal to the total contract and order obligations by fiscal year as calculated by USASpending.gov.
