How to win contracts with Hawaii Awards & Notices Data System (HANDS)

  1. Register on the Hawaii vendor portal. Hawaii Awards & Notices Data System (HANDS) sources solicitations through at https://hands.ehawaii.gov/hands/opportunities. Vendor registration is typically free but one-time — required before you can submit a bid. Registration usually takes 15-60 minutes.
  2. Check for state small-business preferences. Most states offer preference programs — resident bidder preferences, MBE/WBE participation goals, veteran preferences. Hawaii has its own program (see state procurement guide for specifics).
  3. Understand prevailing-wage and Buy American rules. State-funded projects often carry state-specific prevailing-wage requirements (typically higher than federal Davis-Bacon rates) plus state Buy America provisions on manufactured goods. Federally-funded state projects add federal Buy America Build America (BABA) on top.
