Johnson Controls, Inc.

Johnson Controls, Inc., a foreign-owned, for-profit global provider of building systems and HVAC infrastructure solutions headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, operates primarily as a prime contractor (62% of recent awards) on small-dollar federal facility maintenance and equipment repair purchase orders across civilian agencies, competing on an unrestricted, full-and-open basis without set-aside designations.

The vendor's federal footprint concentrates in HVAC and building systems maintenance. Representative prime work includes a $77.5 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 for Johnson Controls NAE units at a VA facility in Erie (awarded November 2022), a $67.1 thousand order from the Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations for York chiller condenser coil supply and replacement in South Africa (January 2024), and a $52.8 thousand purchase order from VA VISN 7 for chiller pump replacement at a Tuscaloosa, Alabama VA medical center (July 2023). More recent work includes emergency HVAC repairs at DOD Education Activity facilities and chiller repairs at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service properties. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on HVAC equipment repair, compressor replacement, chiller maintenance and parts sourcing, boiler control system upgrades, and building automation via Johnson Controls' proprietary Metasys platform. Fire alarm control panel repairs, plumbing equipment maintenance, and electrical infrastructure support round out the service mix across NAICS categories spanning facilities support services (13 awards), plumbing and heating contractors (9 awards), and equipment manufacturing.

Customer concentration skews heavily toward the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Labor. The top five customer agencies account for 60% of awards by count and 71% of combined potential value. VA VISN 4 dominates both volume and dollars (6 awards, $579 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of State (1 award, $67 thousand), VA VISN 7 (1 award, $53 thousand), VA VISN 16 (1 award, $23 thousand), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons McCreary (2 awards, $12 thousand). The Department of Labor Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (10 awards by count) appears lower in dollar value, suggesting smaller individual orders. The vendor operates on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (22 task orders), plus two agency-specific IDIQs: Indefinite Delivery Contract 12805B24D0003 (4 task orders) and J20903C002 (3 task orders).

Activity has accelerated recently — two awards in 2023 to ten in 2025 and six in early 2026 — though total combined potential value remains modest at $1 million across forty-five awards, with $2.1 million obligated, indicating actual invoicing exceeds ceiling values. In its subcontractor role, Johnson Controls supplies HVAC and building systems expertise to Trademasters Service, Inc. (chiller repairs, maintenance, and inspections on Department of Labor work orders, recurring since 2022) and Mill Creek Firelake JV LLC (Metasys building automation upgrades and boiler control system modifications at the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas, starting 2024), with additional sub work for facilities maintenance under M.C. Clean. The parent entity, Johnson Controls, Inc. Controls Group, holds federal contract vehicles and prime awardees in its own right; the subsidiary Johnson Controls, Inc. Division operates as a specialized sub-tier performer on facility operations and maintenance programs.
