Cooks Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc.

Cooks Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc., doing business as CMS, is a woman-owned small business prime contractor based in Blountville, Tennessee, that provides HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair services to the federal government, competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements (no set-aside designations across the active footprint). CMS is a Subchapter S corporation with a WOSB designation and operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract activity in the source data.

CMS's customer base is heavily concentrated with the Department of Energy. The Office of Science accounts for all 15 awards and $4.1 million of the combined potential value across the recent footprint, with a single Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 award for $7 thousand rounding out the customer set. The two rankings are identical — DOE OST dominates by both volume and dollars — indicating narrow, specialized customer concentration rather than diversified federal reach. Work consists of firm-fixed-price purchase orders for HVAC equipment replacement and system installation at the Office of Scientific and Technical Information facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and related DOE sites. Representative awards include a $116,049 sole-source purchase order (September 2026) for procurement, installation, and Building Automation System programming of nine replacement variable air volume hot water reheat coils at the OSTI facility with a 90-calendar-day installation window and 2-hour emergency response requirement; a $184,200 data center backup HVAC system installation purchase order (August 2024) at Oak Ridge; and a $42,480 VAV modifications purchase order (March 2024) at the same facility. CMS holds no named IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs in the source data; all work flows through direct purchase orders issued by DOE.

Activity volume has been sparse and episodic. The footprint carries one award per year in 2021, 2022, and 2023, increasing to three awards in 2024 and one in 2026, with combined potential value of $4.1 million obligated at 92% across sixteen total awards since 2012. One award ($116,049) reaches completion inside the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure. CMS's work is anchored to NAICS 541711 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and PSC codes covering maintenance and repair of HVAC equipment and installation of plumbing, heating, and waste-disposal equipment, with no IT, logistics, or professional-services exposure in the award history.
