Hawaii Defense Economy

This site is operated in conjunction with the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism.

Disclaimers:

This project was developed under contract with the State of Hawaii, through the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT) with financial support from the U.S. Department of Defense – Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation. The content reflects the views of the State of Hawaii and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation or the U.S. Department of Defense.

The Hawaii Defense Economy content is primarily based on contracts, grants, and assistance transactions reported in USA Spending where Place of Performance was listed as Hawaii. Steps have been taken to present the most relevant and accurate data on the types, levels of and impacts of defense contracts, based on the USA Spending data, however it is still limited in its completeness and quality. Work has been done to clean the data provided by USA Spending. Contractors and Grantee Recipients are revising and providing more accurate information on an ongoing basis. This site will continue to evolve as better data and procedures are available. See the USAspending.gov FAQ page for more information on this data set.

This website recognizes the use of diacritical markings of the (modern) Hawaiian language including the ‘okina [‘] or glottal stop and the kahakō [ō] or macron. However, you may notice these diacritical markings have been omitted throughout the website to ensure the best online experience for our visitors. This website recognizes the importance of using these markings and respectfully uses them in other communications beyond the online platform.
