Doing business with the military in Hawaii can be good business. The combined military spending makes the military the second largest business in Hawaii. So it is very important the small business owner in Hawaii know how to do business with the military.
No matter what you make or sell ( with very few exceptions) the military is likely a buyer. They love to do business with small business but you have to approach it correctly. One of the ways to do this is to go to www.sba.gov and search for doing business with the military.
Here is a great website to help you through the process, https://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Acquisitions-CG-9.
