The Smithsonian Institution awarded a Delivery Order contract to Raad Construction Group LLC, a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business based in New Jersey, for replacement of air handling units (AHUs) 1 through 4 at the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) location in New York. The contract, valued at approximately $12.3 million under a Firm Fixed Price arrangement, carries a Total Small Business set-aside designation and was awarded on September 22, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026. This work supports the Smithsonian's ongoing facility modernization and infrastructure improvement efforts at one of its premier cultural institutions located in lower Manhattan.

Raad Construction Group brings substantial relevant experience to this assignment, having completed numerous HVAC system replacements and facility maintenance projects across federal agencies, including comparable work at Joint Base Charleston and various National Park Service properties. The contractor maintains four significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle contracts with federal agencies, including a $291.3 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration and a $250 million Multiple Award Task Order Contract with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, demonstrating its capacity to manage large-scale infrastructure projects. The NMAI AHU replacement initiative represents a critical investment in maintaining adequate climate control and environmental systems at the museum, essential for preserving valuable cultural collections and ensuring visitor comfort.
