Air Equipment Co., LLC

Air Equipment Co., LLC, a sole proprietorship based in Irving, Texas, supplies HVAC and refrigeration equipment — humidifiers, rooftop units, and chiller rentals — to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor under full-and-open procurement with no small business set-asides.

The vendor's footprint is narrow and recent. Three purchase orders totaling $325 thousand span May 2024 to September 2026, all firm fixed price, all awarded without set-aside designation. Two awards came from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 — a $40.6 thousand chiller rental awarded May 23, 2024 (completion June 28, 2024) and a $210.6 thousand Condair humidifier replacement awarded September 18, 2026 (completion September 17, 2027). One award came from the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center Lexington — a $74.1 thousand HVAC rooftop unit for the LEX2 Customer Service Center awarded October 15, 2025 (completion November 14, 2025). Work is performed at customer facilities in Lexington, Kentucky. One hundred percent of combined potential value has been obligated; the September 2026 humidifier replacement is the only award with ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing a recompete opportunity of $211 thousand.

Air Equipment Co. operates exclusively as a prime contractor (zero sub-award exposure), competes in full-and-open space without set-aside protection, and maintains no parent-vehicle seats. Customer concentration is 100% split between two agencies — 77% of dollars to Veterans Affairs VISN 9, 23% to Federal Medical Center Lexington — driven by the recent large humidifier order. The vendor's NAICS footprint splits between plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (two awards) and equipment manufacturing (one award), with no evidence of growth trajectory, subcontractor relationships, or expansion beyond single-unit equipment sales and rentals to the same two federal facilities.
