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 as a prime contractor across the Midwest, operating predominantly under woman-owned small business (WOSB) and 8(a) set-asides. The company is certified as an SBA 8(a) Program participant, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), and Self-Certified Small Disadvantaged Business, competing across a portfolio that is 100% prime work with no sub-contracting footprint.

Air Control's capability portfolio centers on field construction and facilities maintenance work grounded in concrete delivery. The company executes roof repairs, HVAC system upgrades and replacements, electrical installations and upgrades, interior renovations, concrete repairs, painting, flooring work, security system installations, and mechanical systems repairs. Representative recent work includes a $6.96 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for HVAC and electrical system upgrades and repairs in Building 506 at Fort Snelling, Minnesota (awarded September 20, 2023, completion December 17, 2025); a $3.82 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from the Corps for HVAC and electrical system work at the USARC facility in Waterloo, Iowa (awarded September 30, 2022, completion January 31, 2025); and a $1.88 million 8(a) sole-source definitive contract from USDA's Agricultural Research Service for rhizotron chamber repairs at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment in Ames, Iowa (awarded September 30, 2024, completion October 31, 2025).

Customer concentration is extreme and tilted toward GSA facilities management. The top five funding agencies account for 61% of recent awards by count: the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 6 dominates with 52 awards and $82.3 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers (18 awards, $30.1 million), the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (13 awards, $375 thousand), the Department of the Army (8 awards), and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 23 (6 awards, $51 thousand). By potential value, the picture widens slightly but GSA's lead persists: GSA Public Buildings Service Region 6 and the broader GSA Public Buildings Service together account for $119.3 million (roughly 61% of the $196.1 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard ($35 million, anchored by a single $35 million MATOC), the Corps of Engineers ($30.1 million across 18 awards), and smaller agencies. Work is geographically concentrated in the Midwest, particularly Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, reflecting GSA Region 6's footprint.

Air Control holds five active indefinite delivery vehicles. The company sits on a $25 million multiple-award small business IDIQ for GSA Region 6 construction services (awarded February 1, 2024, completion January 31, 2029), under which 34 task orders totaling $4.5 million in combined value have been issued for courthouse repairs, federal building alterations, and facilities maintenance across the four-state region. It also holds a $35 million multiple-award MATOC from the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard for construction and maintenance services statewide in Iowa (awarded September 7, 2023, completion September 6, 2028); two newly awarded single-award WOSB Job Order Construction Contracts from GSA with ceilings of $5 million and $7 million respectively (both awarded February 13, 2025, completion February 12, 2030) for Region 6 projects; a $2 million WOSB single-award IDIQ from GSA Region 6 for Iowa construction services (awarded August 5, 2021, completion August 4, 2025, now expired); and a $250 thousand single-award blanket purchase agreement from the Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command for HVAC insulation products (awarded August 1, 2022, completion July 31, 2027). Task orders under GSA vehicles center on delivery-order work at federal courthouses, VA facilities, and multi-agency federal buildings in the region, typically in the $10 thousand to $250 thousand range.

Activity has declined from a 2022 peak of 25 awards to 14 awards in 2025 and 2 awards year-to-date in 2026, suggesting a downward trajectory. Two awards valued at $8.4 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will therefore recompete; notably, the $2 million GSA Iowa IDIQ that anchored Air Control's earliest work has already expired (August 4, 2025), and the company's core GSA Region 6 work will transition to the newly awarded $5 million and $7 million single-award JOCCs. The portfolio is built almost entirely on GSA Region 6 and Corps of Engineers delivery orders and task orders — vehicles that generate short-term, typically sub-$250 thousand orders for routine facilities maintenance and repair work at federal courthouses and administrative buildings. Concentration risk centers on GSA Region 6's procurement volume; any shift in GSA's construction services strategy, consolidation of its IDIQ portfolio, or move toward larger national vehicles could materially reduce Air Control's order flow.

NAICS concentration is tight: 103 of the 159 prime awards fall under Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220), with Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220) accounting for 16 awards. PSC coding reflects the same tilt — 88 awards carry Repair or Alteration of Office Buildings (PSC 410) and another 7 carry Repair or Alteration/Restoration of Real Property (PSC 450).
