Chinook Systems Inc.

Chinook Systems Inc., a Women-Owned Small Business headquartered in Cocoa Beach, Florida, delivers facilities engineering and building commissioning services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 98% of recent awards, competing predominantly in full-and-open (non-set-aside) contract vehicles despite its WOSB certification and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise status. The company specializes in HVAC system procurement and installation, utility monitoring and control systems, building automation, retro-commissioning, and cybersecurity infrastructure assessments across defense and civilian federal installations.

Chinook's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Army Corps of Engineers and defense agencies. The top five customers account for 63% of recent awards by count but 84% by combined potential value. The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville anchors the portfolio with 14 awards carrying $2.18 billion in combined potential value, driven by Chinook's position as a prime contractor on the $2.1 billion Utility Monitoring and Control Systems Fifth Generation (UMCS-V) IDIQ. This single vehicle carries 20 task orders worth $101.6 million in combined potential value. The Washington Headquarters Service (DOD) accounts for 38 awards worth $144.9 million, primarily through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, where Chinook holds 34 task orders valued at $100.3 million for commissioning and code enforcement services. Additional significant customer agencies include the Department of the Air Force (Pacific Air Forces), the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institutes of Health, and the Missile Defense Agency.

Representative prime work includes a $25.9 million preventative and corrective maintenance contract for the Adelphi Laboratory Center in Maryland under UMCS-V (awarded September 2022, completing March 2028); a $7.1 million Base Automated System replacement in Warsaw, Poland under UMCS-V (awarded June 2024, completing October 2026); a $5.86 million HVAC system procurement and installation at Fort Meade, Maryland under UMCS-V (awarded September 2024, completing January 2027); and a $2.63 million high-temperature hot water boiler furnish-and-install at Adelphi Laboratory Center under UMCS-V (awarded September 2025, completing March 2028). Civilian-sector work includes a $400 million multiple-award IDIQ awarded by the National Institutes of Health on June 24, 2026, for Construction Quality Management and Commissioning Services nationwide through June 2032, and a $10 million EPA Commissioning Authority Services IDIQ (awarded March 2022, completing March 2027) supporting nationwide EPA facility commissioning with delivery orders for retro-commissioning, building enclosure assessments, and HVAC optimization at sites in Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio, and Florida.

Chinook holds several parent contract vehicles anchoring its federal footprint. The UMCS-V IDIQ represents the largest single vehicle by potential value. On the GSA side, Chinook sits on the Multiple Award Schedule ($38.3 million ceiling as of May 2026) and holds an OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ (awarded December 2024, completing December 2029) covering professional services across Management and Advisory, Technical and Engineering, Research and Development, Intelligence Services, Environmental Services, Facilities, and Logistics domains. Chinook also maintains two Basic Ordering Agreements with Naval Sea Systems Command for mechanical/controls and electrical services (both awarded December 2024, completing November 2029) and an $2.5 million Army Corps of Engineers RCX and Building Control Systems IDIQ (awarded August 2022, completing August 2027).

Recent activity shows year-over-year fluctuation: 12 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 15 in 2024, 7 in 2025, and 5 in 2026 (through mid-June). The source data spans 107 total awards with combined potential value of $2.91 billion, of which $164.5 million (6%) has been obligated. Fifteen awards (combined potential value $66.8 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure in HVAC, commissioning, and facility control system categories.

(Public House HVAC replacement and commissioning, awarded May 2026) and Asrc Federal Cyber, LLC (ground-based midcourse defense facility operations and readiness, awarded July 2025). The Service Contract Inventory dataset captures limited invoiced revenue of $3.6 million across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $930 thousand; FY2023: $2.7 million; FY2024: $0 recorded), with workforce averaging 2.2 FTEs in FY2022 and 19.1 FTEs in FY2023 on SCI-reportable prime contracts.
