Lower Alabama Heating Cooling & Refrigeration, LLC

Lower Alabama Heating Cooling & Refrigeration, LLC operates as a small disadvantaged business subcontractor specializing in HVAC installation, maintenance, and controls work on federal building renovation projects, with 83% of recent awards routed through prime contractors and a single GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract ceiling of $500,000. The company is structured as a limited liability partnership based in Chatom, Alabama.

Lower Alabama's federal footprint is concentrated in building systems work for General Services Administration facilities and federal courthouses. The vendor holds a five-year GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract effective through June 2029, offering HVAC Technician labor at $101.56 per hour with a two-year experience requirement and no security-clearance mandate. Five of six recent awards are subcontracts performed under Hammer LGC Inc. as prime, spanning mechanical and HVAC work at federal buildings across the Southeast. Representative sub awards include a mechanical and controls installation at the J. Bratton Davis U.S. Bankruptcy Courthouse in Columbia, South Carolina (December 2025); HVAC unit replacement and DDC controls work at the GSA Charles Bennett Federal Building in Jacksonville, Florida (May 2025); air-handling-unit installation at the C. Clyde Atkins U.S. Courthouse in Miami, Florida (February 2025); ductwork at the Claude Pepper Federal Building in Miami (February 2025); and HVAC installation and service on a design-build project at the Terry Sanford Federal Building and U.S. Federal Courthouse in Raleigh, North Carolina (April 2024). Customer concentration spans General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 4 (2 awards), the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service, and the Social Security Administration.

Activity has accelerated from two awards in 2024 to four in 2025. Combined dollars obligated across all awards stands at $2.7 million, exceeding the $500,000 combined potential value ceiling by a 5.4-to-1 ratio — a signal of substantial task-order volume and repeat ordering under the existing parent vehicles. The vendor's invoiced revenue substantially exceeds contractual ceilings, indicating heavy reliance on task-order execution rather than fixed-price performance. Lower Alabama subcontracts exclusively through Hammer LGC for federal courthouse and federal-building renovation work under GSA Indefinite Delivery Contracts 47PE0421D0001 and 47PE0322D0001, positioning it as a specialized mechanical trades partner on regional building-systems projects rather than a direct federal customer.
