Air Control, Inc.

Air Control, Inc., doing business as Air Control Inc., a woman-owned small business headquartered in Clinton, Iowa, provides construction, facilities maintenance, HVAC, electrical, and general contracting services to federal agencies across the Midwest as a prime contractor. The vendor holds SBA certifications as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), and 8(a) Program participant, competing predominantly under woman-owned small business and total small business set-asides on smaller projects and full-and-open competition on larger awards.

Air Control's customer concentration centers on civilian federal facilities. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 6 dominates the footprint—52 awards valued at $82.3 million combined potential value (59% of recent award count). The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers supplies the second-largest cluster (18 awards, $30.3 million combined potential value), driven by several multi-million-dollar HVAC and building renovation contracts. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, Department of the Air Force Air National Guard, and other GSA sub-offices round out the top five by award count. The vendor's portfolio spans 37 distinct federal agencies, though concentration tightens when measured by dollar potential: GSA and its sub-offices anchor 96% of combined potential value across the top five customer segments.

Recent capability work illustrates Air Control's service mix. In 2024, the Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $3.88 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract for renovation of Maintenance Building 510 at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, with completion scheduled for May 8, 2026. That same month, Air Control won a $1.88 million USDA 8(a) sole-source contract for rhizotron chamber repairs at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment in Ames, Iowa, covering demolition, equipment removal, new water-cooled DX skid installation, and systems commissioning. Earlier in 2024, a $230.5 million 8(a) sole-source Army Corps of Engineers contract addressed HVAC and electrical system repair at Building 100 in Des Moines. GSA Region 6 delivery orders under standing multiple-award vehicles represent the bulk of transaction volume: recent orders include a $230.8 million firm-fixed-price delivery order (awarded September 3, 2024) for installation of an electromechanical crash beam gate vehicle barrier system at the U.S. Courthouse in Davenport, Iowa; a $93.3 million delivery order (September 30, 2025) for carpet and wall painting in elevator lobbies at the Robert A. Young Federal Building in St. Louis; and smaller orders ($25,000–$60,000) for electrical, HVAC, roof, and interior finishes work at courthouses and federal buildings across Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska.

Air Control holds four primary indefinite-delivery vehicles anchoring its federal footprint. Two GSA Region 6 single-award Job Order Construction Contracts (JOCCs), both awarded February 13, 2025, carry ceilings of $5 million and $7 million respectively, set aside for woman-owned small business, with performance spanning GSA Region 6 (Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska) for alteration and repair projects between $2,000 and $250,000 per order. A $25 million multiple-award total small business IDV (awarded February 1, 2024, completion January 31, 2029) covers construction services across the same four-state region and the Kansas City and St. Louis field offices—this vehicle has generated 34 task orders. A $35 million multiple-award task order contract (MATOC) with the Air National Guard (awarded September 7, 2023, completion September 6, 2028) funds construction, maintenance, repair, and design-build services at National Guard and Army National Guard facilities in Des Moines, Sioux City, and Fort Dodge, Iowa. A legacy Air Mobility Command blanket purchase agreement (awarded August 1, 2022, completion July 31, 2027) covers HVAC insulation services and refrigeration components valued up to $250,000.

Activity has remained steady but is trending downward. In the five-year window visible in the source, Air Control received 25 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 20 in 2024, 14 in 2025, and 9 year-to-date in 2026 (data current through late September 2026). This decline reflects portfolio maturation around a smaller number of high-value IDVs rather than loss of customer relationships. Five awards (combined potential value $1.7 million) carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete exposure; the largest recompete by dollar magnitude are the legacy GSA delivery orders and Army Corps of Engineers contracts completing in 2025–2027.

The Service Contract Inventory dataset carries minimal SCI-reportable invoicing because Air Control's work is predominantly fixed-price construction delivery orders and product purchases, which fall outside the SCI threshold. The source records $234 thousand in SCI invoicing in FY2025 across 0.4 contract-level FTEs, with a derived government-paid rate of $268.14/hr. This figure understates the vendor's true federal service delivery; SCI-reportable contracts are a narrow subset of federal activity, excluding construction, goods, and most task order work. The vendor operates 100% as a prime contractor across the visible award footprint; no sub-award activity appears in the source.

Air Control competes on a business-development profile anchored to small-business set-asides and GSA's Public Buildings Service construction vehicle portfolio. The vendor's geographic concentration in Iowa and the contiguous Midwest, combined with its woman-owned and 8(a) status, positions it as a recurring performer on GSA Region 6 delivery orders and on Army Corps of Engineers facility modernization awards in the Upper Midwest. Recent growth in multi-million-dollar definitive contracts (particularly for HVAC systems and building envelope work) signals deepening Army Corps and USDA engagement beyond the smaller GSA courthouse and federal building alterations that characterize the bulk of the transaction count.
