Avila's Plumbing & Construction LLC

Avila's Plumbing & Construction LLC, a minority-owned, woman-owned small disadvantaged business based in El Paso, Texas, provides plumbing repair, maintenance, and installation services to the Drug Enforcement Administration as a prime contractor under full-and-open purchase orders. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership and competes without set-aside designation across its federal footprint.

Avila's customer base is entirely concentrated: all ten federal awards over the past three years—totaling $86 thousand in combined potential value—come from the Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration, specifically for facility maintenance at the El Paso Intelligence Center and associated DEA facilities in the El Paso region. The firm's work spans plumbing fixture repair (leaking flush valves, loose toilets, commode blockages, sink and urinal maintenance), water and sewer line installation, pipe replacement, and restroom infrastructure restoration. Representative work includes a $36,510 sole-source purchase order (February 2026) for plumbing infrastructure installation supporting three portable Forensic Laboratory Analytical Response Containers at Fort Bliss, Texas, involving trench digging, water and sewer line installation, booster pump placement, and asphalt work; a $19,460 maintenance and repair order (June 2026) for plumbing, heating, and waste disposal equipment at Fort Bliss; and a $6,170.13 time-and-materials contract (November 2023) for restroom fixture repairs. All work has been performed without subcontractor engagement, with the vendor providing all labor and materials under firm fixed-price or time-and-materials terms.

Activity has grown modestly—one award in 2023, four in 2024, two in 2025, and three in 2026 to date—though the dollar magnitude remains low, with individual purchase orders ranging from $875 to $36,510. Four awards carrying combined potential value of $59 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure. The vendor's work concentrates in two NAICS categories: Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings (eight awards) and Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (one award), with supporting scope under Facilities Support Services. The firm has maintained active federal contracting registration since January 2023 and holds no parent contract vehicles, IDIQs, or GWACs; all awards are direct purchase orders issued by DEA procurement.
