Automated Control Systems Inc.

Automated Control Systems Inc., headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a self-certified small disadvantaged business that delivers HVAC systems, SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) equipment, building automation controls, and related installation and maintenance services to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively. The vendor competes in full-and-open procurements and does not subcontract; across its recent federal footprint, 100% of the fifty-four awards are prime contracts or task orders under federal IDCs.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on HVAC system design, installation, and preventive maintenance; SCADA restoration and upgrade; building automation and control systems integration; and software upgrades for facility management systems. Representative work includes a $325,876 firm fixed-price purchase order from Air Force Special Operations Command (awarded September 2022) to restore complete automated SCADA operations at Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico, originally solicited as a total small business set-aside; a $12,954 purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Education (June 2026) to upgrade COMPASS 1TO2 software at the Jemez Pueblo facility; and a $15,101 purchase order from the Bureau of Indian Education (April 2026) to provide Aleton control systems with maintenance services performed in Albuquerque.

Customer concentration is split across defense and interior bureaus. Air Force Special Operations Command accounts for the largest share by potential value (nine awards, $821 thousand combined), followed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs subdivisions — the Albuquerque Acquisition Office (two awards, $153 thousand) and the Bureau of Indian Education (five awards, $60 thousand). The Air Force (general) carries fourteen awards by volume but smaller individual values. Together, these five customer lines account for 61% of awards and 97% of combined potential value. The vendor serves eleven distinct customer agencies in total, suggesting modest diversification but heavy concentration in defense and interior facility management.

The vendor sits on five federal IDCs, including Indefinite Delivery Contracts F2960592D0006, F2960596D0004, and F2960591D0004 (Air Force vehicles carrying four, four, and two task orders respectively) and a Defense Logistics Agency Blanket Purchase Agreement DNA00282M0547. The NAICS footprint is led by Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (eleven awards) and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (three awards). Activity in the past five years shows one award each in 2025 and 2026 and earlier clusters in 2020–2022; only one award (worth $13 thousand) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete pressure in that window. Combined obligated dollars ($2 million) exceed combined potential value ($1.1 million), reflecting historical invoicing above contract ceilings on smaller purchase orders.
