Able Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.

Able Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc., a minority-owned, small disadvantaged business headquartered in Chula Vista, California, delivers HVAC mechanical services and facility infrastructure upgrades to the Department of Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and NASA as a prime contractor (71% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor under construction management primes. The firm competes predominantly under Total Small Business set-asides on Navy facilities work and full-and-open on larger infrastructure projects; recent awards span boiler and chiller plant replacements, cooling tower demolition and replacement, dehumidification equipment installation, HVAC system modernizations, and facility renovations at military installations across California and the southwestern region.

Able's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Navy facilities. The top five funding agencies account for 84% of awards by count, with Naval Facilities Engineering Command anchoring the portfolio (18 awards, $406.6 million combined potential value). This concentration inverts sharply on dollar value, where NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's two awards ($450 million combined potential value, including a $450 million multiple-award IDC through 2031) and NAVFAC's portfolio together represent 98% of combined potential value across all awards. Navy Installations Command has issued four awards totaling $11.2 million, the Marine Corps has placed six awards valued at $5.4 million, and the Air Force has placed one delivery order at $6.5 million. The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center's single award ($11.7 million for mess hall HVAC repair at Bridgeport, California) appears as an outlier in both rankings.

Able holds a $200 million Total Small Business multiple-award IDC with Naval Facilities Engineering Command (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning System Projects NAVFAC SW), which runs through April 2027 and has generated four delivery orders valued at approximately $1.9 million to date. The firm also holds a $450 million partial-small-business multiple-award IDC with NASA Armstrong (Western Regional Multiple Award Construction Contract through June 2031, one delivery order to date at $1,000), a $5 million basic ordering agreement with Air Mobility Command at Travis Air Force Base (established February 2026), and a single-award BOA with USAF DFAS (established January 2026 with no ceiling specified). The majority of Able's task-order volume flows through two Navy IDCs identified as N6247319D2421 (17 task orders, $43.1 million) and N6247318D5853 (10 task orders), both carrying work in HVAC mechanical services and facility repairs at naval installations. Representative prime awards include a $6.5 million Total Small Business delivery order from the Air Force (June 2024) for repairs and HVAC modernization at Travis Air Force Base, a $4.9 million chiller replacement at Naval Base San Diego (August 2024, no set-aside), a $3.9 million HVAC system and roof replacement at Fallon, Nevada (November 2024, no set-aside), and a $1.2 million chiller overhaul and cooling tower replacement at Dixon Naval Radio Transmitter Facility (January 2026, Total Small Business set-aside).

Activity has remained steady at three to six awards per year across 2022–2026, with five awards in the current fiscal year. Three awards are scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $5.4 million), representing modest recompete exposure. In the subcontractor role, Able performs HVAC and mechanical services under Harper Construction Company, Inc. on construction and facility renovation task orders, including a $250 million-plus Michelson Mission Satellite facility project (multiple awards from 2021 onward) and an NRL facility replacement project (2024). Across both prime and sub work, Able's capability set is narrow and concrete: boiler and chiller plant installation and replacement, cooling tower demolition and replacement, humidity control and dehumidification system installation, HVAC equipment energy optimization, system testing and balancing, and general mechanical system upgrades and renovations at military real property. The company's footprint is geographically concentrated in California and Arizona military installations, with recent expansion to NASA facilities.
