Alabama Controls, Inc.

Alabama Controls, Inc., operating under the trade name Albireo Energy, provides building automation systems (BAS) maintenance, energy management controls, security systems, and facility infrastructure support to federal agencies as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards), competing on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations. Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, and a subsidiary of Albireo Energy LLC (parent company based in Edison, New Jersey), Alabama Controls is a for-profit corporate entity that emphasizes preventive maintenance, HVAC controls, access control system upgrades, and on-site technical operations across domestic military installations and overseas diplomatic facilities.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward State Department and Air Force installations. The Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations anchors the portfolio by volume—124 awards (44% of total awards) representing $6.2 million combined potential value—with ongoing work at embassies and diplomatic compounds across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Eastern Europe (Zimbabwe, Ghana, Kyiv, Benin, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Pakistan, Liberia, and others). The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command is the second-largest customer by dollar value at 69 awards worth $10.8 million combined potential value, primarily for maglock upgrades, energy management control system (EMCS) installations, overhead traffic surveillance camera upgrades, and security system maintenance at Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex in Alabama. The Department of the Army Materiel Command's TACOM Life Cycle Management Command accounts for 9 awards worth $9.5 million, anchored by a $2.6 million sole-source five-year definitive contract (February 2022 through January 2027) for on-site 24/7 maintenance, service, and operation of EMCS and utility management control systems at Anniston Army Depot. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville carries 6 awards valued at $9.2 million. The top five customers represent 79% of combined potential value.

Alabama Controls holds a single-award $600,000 indefinite delivery contract with AETC (awarded September 2021, ultimate completion September 2024) for CCTV security systems, automated gates, and overhead paging repairs; a second single-award $204,138 IDC with the Bureau of African Affairs (January 2026, ultimate completion January 2031) for facilities and administrative controls (FAC-BAS) preventive maintenance services covering fiscal years 2025–2030; and places work under Blanket Purchase Agreement FA330013A0002 (18 task orders, $590 thousand combined potential value). Representative recent prime work includes a $1.74 million firm fixed-price purchase order (August 2025) for design, installation, and commissioning of an EMCS at Maxwell Air Force Base, a $798,187 EMCS upgrade contract at Gunter Annex (September 2024), a $131,352 sole-source definitive contract for BAS preventive maintenance at the U.S. Embassy Kyiv (July 2025, base year plus one option year), and a $134,153 definitive contract for Schneider BAS project management services at Kabul Hilton in Pakistan (July 2025 through June 2027). Work is performed at place-of-performance locations spanning Alabama domestic facilities (Montgomery, Hoover) and multiple international locations in active diplomatic and strategic regions.

Activity has remained relatively steady year over year—9 to 16 awards annually from 2022 through 2025, with 4 awards recorded in the first quarter of 2026. Ten awards with combined potential value of $3.6 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. The vendor's NAICS concentration centers on security systems services (47 awards), building inspection services (27 awards), electrical contracting (24 awards), and HVAC contracting (13 awards), reflecting the breadth of facility control and infrastructure work across the portfolio.

Alabama Controls performs as a subcontractor at minimal scale: three sub awards in the source data include VAV controller work for BL Harbert International on the new embassy compound construction in New Delhi, India (August 2025) and building management systems integration for the same program (December 2023), and a Qatar early warning radar subcontract under Raytheon (November 2024). The sub footprint represents 1% of the total award count and is secondary to the prime contracting mission.
