The building of ventilation and duct work owned by others

UNSPSC 72151204 HVAC ventilation and duct work construction service is a Commodity code describing heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning system installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance work solicited across state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. State and local governments procure this work as standalone capital replacement projects (rooftop unit swaps, chiller replacements, full-system upgrades), preventive and emergency maintenance contracts on an as-needed basis, and integrated facility-wide mechanical services. Recent opportunities show substantial activity from school districts (San Antonio ISD, Academy of Warren, Peach County Schools, Skagit Valley College, Texas Tech University), counties (Gwinnett County, Forsyth County, Clay County, Portage County, Broward County, Montgomery County), cities (Bartow, St. Petersburg, Roswell, Meriden, Jackson, Groton, Tupelo, Manchester), state agencies (Texas Military Department, Washington Military Department, Texas Juvenile Justice Department, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), transit and utility authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District, Eastern Municipal Water District), and correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The work spans equipment replacement (RTUs, chillers, air handlers, split units, makeup air units), system modernization (variable frequency drives, direct digital controls, building automation integration), emergency repairs, preventive maintenance programs, and commissioning and testing.

Recent solicitations concentrate in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Washington. Representative examples include the City of Bartow, Florida's ITB for HVAC installation, repairs, and emergency services across municipal facilities (bids due August 5, 2026), the Texas Juvenile Justice Department's RFP for demolition and replacement of 62 split-unit systems at Evins State Juvenile Correctional Facility in Edinburg with mandatory July 9–10 site visits and July 31 proposal deadline, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid solicitation for HVAC replacement at Fire Stations 27 and 28 (bids due August 6, 2026), Broward County Aviation Department's bid for replacement of 22 rooftop units on Terminal 3 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with restricted 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. construction windows and July 29 closing, Academy of Warren (Michigan) RFP for replacement of 12 units with July 17 deadline and prevailing wage compliance requirements, the Texas Military Department's IFB for HVAC replacement at Ellington Field (bids due August 6, 2026) requiring HUB subcontracting plans, and City of St. Petersburg's RFQ for continuing building operations and maintenance spanning chiller, electrical, generator, and HVAC repair or replacement across city-wide locations with August 20 responses due and $7 million total budget allocation. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Build America Buy America (BABA) domestic-content compliance, performance and payment bonding, comprehensive liability insurance ($1–20 million per occurrence depending on scope), and mandatory subcontracting plans for disadvantaged or veteran-owned vendors appear frequently. Many jurisdictions award to multiple contractors or structure contracts on unit-price or time-and-materials bases with field-order activation and no guaranteed minimums. Liquidated damages for schedule delays, one-year workmanship and parts warranties, and emergency response-time requirements are common. Activity remains steady through mid-August 2026 with opportunities spanning routine maintenance, capital replacement, and integrated facility-wide modernization programs.
